Album notes
Bikini Kill: Kathi Wilcox (vocals, bass, drums); Kathleen Hanna (vocals, bass); Tobi Vail (vocals, drums); Bill Karren (guitar). Recorded in November 1995. Initially pegged as "riot girls," something to which Bikini Kill always objected, the band took nearly four years to record its second full-length album, REJECT ALL AMERICAN, by which time the "movement" had died down somewhat, thus freeing it from the stifling label. Furthering a trend evident since its earliest material, the album again marks a step up in improved production, as well as continuing the band's move from barely structured primal scream assaults into pop-oriented, though still aggressive, songs--and hey, at 27 minutes, it's Bikini Kill's longest record yet! The pop move is most obvious on "False Start," which, given sweeter lyrics, could have given the Bangles a run for their money. It repeats the gambit on "R.I.P.," a lyrically wrenching cry for a dead friend. Other standouts include "Capri Pants," a barreling freight train of a song, "Jet Ski," which features Kathleen Hanna belting out a chorus of "I ain't got no candy for you," and the title track, which is built on a controlled rhythm and guitar base and makes a great sing-along anthem. If you like your punk rock tuneful, REJECT ALL AMERICAN will make a fine addition to your collection.
Editorial reviews
4 Stars - Excellent - ...supplementing their fiery, bash-`em-in-the-face punk with sweetly seductive pop...these edgy, melodic anthems never lapse into whining... Rolling Stone (05/16/1996) ...The title track...explains why the band disdains the sort of media attention most groups would die for. `Mass acceptance/Overrated,' Kathleen Hanna sings as part of a sarcastic litany of `all American' values that will earn her an executive position in an apocryphal company she calls `Nothing Incorporated'... New York Times (06/02/1996) 7 - Flawed Yet Worthy - ...Hanna's mutable bellow remains BK's most potent weapon....most of REJECT gets the pop point, and takes up where the much-missed [Bratmobile]...left off--the pleasingly indefinite border where girl-group `na-nas' shade off into riot-grrrl `nyah nyahs'. Spin (06/01/1996) Recommended - ...Twelve salvos...from the heart. Twelve messages of hope for America's disaffected youth. Boy/girl revolution has never sounded so cool... Melody Maker (04/06/1996) ...[Kathleen Hanna's] band's second and tightest album is 28 wonderfully concentrated minutes of unrelenting punk, with mid-tempo stops that pay homage to Kurt Cobain and Tony Randall. The Go-Go's as riot grrrls. - Rating: A- Entertainment Weekly (04/12/1996) 3 (out of 5) - ...with REJECT ALL AMERICAN, BK's newly emerging facets provide a nice balance to a band that started out as a hostile one-trick pony. RIP (08/01/1996) ...Kathlenn Hanna's voice is nothing less than astounding, sweet as maple syrup on the edge of a sharp knife....Bill Karen's guitar work is his best ever....Part of what makes Bikini Kill important is the band's head-on collision with all anti-woman attitudes and acts... Option (09/01/1996) 3 (out of 5) - ...a steamroller of equal parts political idealism and punk righteousness....blasts away at any expectations anyone may have had of them....not only one hell of a powerfully angry machine, but also capable of some surprising diversity... Alternative Press (08/01/1996) Ranked #40 in Rolling Stone's 50 Coolest Records. Rolling Stone (04/11/2002) ...[Kathleen Hanna's] band's second and tightest album is 28 wonderfully concentrated minutes of unrelenting punk, with mid-tempo stops that pay homage to Kurt Cobain and Tony Randall.
