Artist: L7
Title: Slap-Happy
Label: Wax Tadpole/Bong Load Custom Records / PO Box 39557, Los Angeles, CA 90039
Format: Cassette (no timer on my cassette player & no stopwatch, either)

Oh, if only L7 had managed to live up to the potential that 1990's Smell the Magic had promised. Unfortunately, the band seems to have been caught in this wicked downhill spiral since then, taking the absolute worse track from each new release and building a new album around it. Slap-Happy contains lots of bad rap, cheesy guitar riffs and lo-fi psychedelia to make this their stinkiest album yet-fans of these tampon-slinging, male-bashing, genital-flashing former champions of the grrl movement will not be pleased. Some bands just don't know when to quit.
