Album Review

Sleater-Kinney's masterful sophomore effort Call the Doctor fulfills all the promise of the group's debut and more, forging taut melodicism and jaw-dropping sonic complexity out of barbed-wire emotional potency. The emergence of Carrie Brownstein as an equal shareholder in Corin Tucker's vision is the key — her four contributions (particularly "Stay Where You Are" and "I Wanna Be Your Joey Ramone") are stellar, while her harmonies complete Tucker's equally superb lead turns by reading between the lines to verbalize the naked aggression at the core of the songs' polemic power. Forget the riot grrrl implications inherent in the trio's music — Call the Doctor is pure, undiluted punk, and it's brilliant.

Customer Reviews

More Punk than Most

I was 16 years old when I discovered SK with this album. Everytime they picked up their instruments they layed it all down.

This comes close to being my favorite SK record, it's hard to top in pure energy. And that's where it shines, while SK would add more elements to their sound in the style of Fugazi, this album captures them at the hight of their wild punk grrl sound.
