Eight years and four albums down the line from their California inception at the relatively tender age of 13, and the artists formerly known as the Electrocutes and Raggedy Ann have forged an evocative style of razor-edged, good-time rock & roll that positively redefines exuberance. The onset of musical maturity has seen the Donnas honing their melodic and harmonic chops, while steadily moving away from their undeniably seductive yet irrefutably restrictive Ramones-clone roots to embrace the dynamic metal manners of a roughshod Joan Jett or a punked-up AC/DC. The sneering, ennui-soaked vocals of Donna A. leave the stylistic frills to Donna R.'s guitar. And as Donnas C. and F. provide a rock-solid rhythmic backdrop, the combined effect is so gloriously visceral, slack-jawed, and entirely bereft of affectation and contrivance, that even an irony-free cover of Judas Priest's "Livin' After Midnight" seems to make some kind of mosh-hastening good sense. --Billy Fisher

 These girls ROCK April 21, 2002
5 out of 6 found this review helpful
And they don't care who knows it...Using typically male oriented themes, they jam about men groupies, getting high, and the angst that comes along with being a teenager. I had never heard of them til I saw the mediocre movie "drive me crazy" on HBO. The movie was just ok, but their cameo appearance ROCKED! Since then I have been downloading everything by them that I can get my hands on. 40 Boys in 40 Nights is a typical "getting booty on the road" song, and are they ashamed to admit it??? HELL NO!!!! The cover of Judas Priest's "Livin' AFter Midnite" is also a JAM! Over all every cut is as good as the last....so if you are into hardcore guitar riffs backed up by a sweet baby girl voice, check out THE DONNAS....Even if you think a girl band is too "soft " for you, take heed: THESE ARE NOT THE GO-GOS!! The whole disc is excellent background music for your morning coffee, or sex, or WHATEVER. Do yourself a favor and check it out.....
 Rock On!!! April 12, 2001

The goddesses of rock have returned!! Not too much has chaged here, since this more or less sounds like "Get Skintight" Part 2. Now that's definately not a bad thing, since "Get Skintight" was such a refreshingly great, fun record. But, like any second time around, it's not quite as fresh this time, and a couple of tracks sound unfortunately like Donnas-by-the-numbers. But still there's plenty of really great songs here, especially "40 Boys in 40 Nights" and "Driving Thru My Heart" (2 songs I really can't get out of my head right now), and, technically, the band has never sounded better. (Check out Donna R's guitar solos--Smokin'!!!!) They've definately come a long way in the 3 years since "Rock'n'Roll Machine". So, if you're looking for a really good no b.s. rock record, stop what you're doing and just buy this already!!

This is my thrid review on The Donnas, and once again, I find this to be an amazing CD. The guitar playing is just amazing, vocals are great, bass is fantastic, and dummer is superb.
The track list and my rating are as followed:
Are You Gonna Move It For Me 5/5- GREAT opener to a great album
Do You Wanna Hit It 10/5- Probably my favorite on the CD, wish there was a solo though.
40 Boys In 40 Nights 5/5- I love this song, its really fun, give it a listen.
Play My Game 5/5- Great drum beat in the beggining then blows to a hard punk song.
Midnight Snack 5/5- A great fun song, once again give it a listen.
Drivin' Thru My Heart- 10/5- Another favoite of mine, meaningful lyrics, great solo, just an all around great song.
You've Got A Crush On Me- 5/5 AMAZING SOLO!!
Little Boy- 4/5- Its good : ).
Don't Get Me Busted-5/5 Very AC/DC
Police Blitz 4/5- Its a good song wish it was kinda longer.
Hot Pants- 5/5- The name says it all.
Gimme A Ride 5/5 I LOVE THIS SONG!
Living After Midnight- 5/5- A Great cover with this Judas Prist classic, but I think this one is better than the original.
Nothing To Do- 4/5- No solo :'(, oh well, still a great song.
If you like The Donnas, what the hell, buy it!!
