Album notes
Personnel: Tracy Bonham (vocals, guitar, violin); Ed Ackerson (guitar); Sean Slade (organ); Drew Parsons (bass); Eric Paull, Josh Freese, Fred Eltringham (drums).
THE BURDENS OF BEING UPRIGHT was nominated for a 1997 Grammy Award for Best Alternative Music Performance. "Mother Mother" was nominated for a 1997 Grammy for Best Female Rock Vocal Performance.
Perhaps "Jaded Little Pill" might have been a more appropriate title for this classically-trained Bostonian, who seems set to step from indie-celebrity status to mega-stardom. Bonham possesses the same angry energy that helped propel Alanis Morissette, in more concentrated form. Her acidic lyrical stylings, combined with raw, bubble-fuzz melodies, are liable to scorch you if not handled with care. Song craftsmanship is particularly evident in the angry, anthemic rock chorus of "Mother Mother" and the grinding Pixies-ish tones of "Sharks Can't Sleep" (complete with Kim Deal-esque wailing). Acrid as this major-label debut is (observe Bonham's diatribe against the music industry in "One Hit Wonder"), one can only imagine how much more toxic this pop-punkstress is capable of becoming.

Editorial reviews
Ranked #8 on Entertainment Weekly's list of the `Top 10 Albums And Singles Of 1996.'
Entertainment Weekly  

...she's...a whiz at making the music's sound match its lyric intent....An album as smart as it is tuneful...
Musician  (05/01/1996)

3 Stars - Good - ...kooky rockin' dame theatrics of the Alanis Morissette variety smeared with liberal helpings of Nirvana's sense of vaguely defined loathing...
Q  (07/01/1996)

7 (out of 10) - ...a fine concoction of addictive...melodies, intriguing basslines....it's a relief to note that `women in rock' have finally realised that the rock in question has nothing to do with hippy skirts and acoustic strumming...
NME  (07/06/1996)

...Comparisons to recent been-around-the-block chick forebears...are sure to abound, but the edgy incisiveness here is eclipsed by Bonham's pop sparkle... - Rating: A
