Review:
The second offering from aggro-political rockers Skunk Anansie finds producer Garth Richardson (L7, Rage Against the Machine) at the helm. Frontwoman Skin's vocals grab the listener by the scruff of the neck and demand attention. The rest of the band backs her with a frenzied, yet focused, sonic attack, giving serious punch to tracks like the breakneck "Twisted (Everyday Hurts)" and the lumbering, scathing "We Love Your Apathy." Stoosh finds Skunk Anansie still raging for political activism (albeit sometimes through muddy lyrics), and the band makes no bones about that fact (addressed succinctly on "Yes It's F*****g Political." Skin proves herself capable of more personal issues as well on the subtle, moody "Infidelity (Only You)" and the lighter (musically) pop/rocker "Glorious Pop Song." Skunk Anansie's full-frontal charge can be wearing at times, but for a good dose of aggressive, hard rock with better-than-average lyrics, Stoosh succeeds more than it fails.
Track List:
1 Yes, It's Fucking Political 03:52
2 All I Want 03:52
3 She's My Heroine 05:04
4 Infidelity (Only You) 06:00
5 Hedonism (Just Because You Feel Good) 03:27
6 Twisted (Everyday Hurts) 04:15
7 We Love Your Apathy 05:11
8 Brazen (Weep) 04:32
9 Pickin On Me 03:15
10 Milk Is My Sugar 03:50
11 Glorious Pop Song 04:18
