AllMusic Review by Nitsuh Abebe
Most of the more metalesque moments on Hit Songs for Girls
aren't particularly convincing -- they're chaotic, sludgy, and largely
non-punchy, shooting at some sort of big-rock power without delivering
the content to back it. The album hits its high points when post-punky
guitar constructions and hooks float out of the mix, underpinning speedy
riffing with bashing drums and creating the same compelling rush that
emo tends toward. 1996's Bastardsong
seems to find a better synthesis of these two inclinations, and winds
up as a much better -- if much stranger -- record.
