Album Description
Third long player from Minneapolis' punkers. Fourteen new danceable punk tunes that are reminiscent of the early 90's Gilman St. scene but with a gritty edge.

When you're North Coast September 8, 2005

The third album from the best band to come out of Minneapolis/St.Paul since The Replacements; I'm not sh*ting you. Punk bands are of one of two varieties these days--Southern Californian faux-political garbage rock or poppy I'm-a-35-yr-man-who-writes-songs-about-how-I-dont-like-my-parents-telling-me-to-take-out-the-trash. So when you get to listen to a punk band that actually sounds like a punk band (see The Epoxies as well) you take notice. What's great about The Soviettes is their intense brevity and razor sharp hooks. This band will probably never release an album over forty minutes, unless it be a double-live album (PLEASE!!PLEASE!!!)
"Multiply and divide" is an openning track that sets a proper tone for the album as a whole. The Soviettes fluctuate between speed-chorus tunes and wickedly crafted gems that are a cut above. "Middle of the Night" and "Thinking of You" give you a glimpse of what pop punk songs should sound like. "(Do)The Stagger" and "How do you like that" are vicious tracks that demand you hunt this band out to chant along to as you pogo with a $1 beer in your hand. The outro chorus in "(Do) The Stagger" of "C'mon" is as delicious as having your scrotum crushed by the heel of a dominatrix (also see "Rollergirls").
This band is painfully proud of being from the Twin Cities. When you're North Coast everyone sings, you drink GrainBelt Premium, and you take your punk in furious doses. The Soviettes LP III is a top five album of the year.

There's an awesome enthusiasm in this band. It's got that great 90s vibe, which in my humble opinion sounds a lot like 'No Doubt'. If you're a old school more softcore punk rock fan, this is the CD you'd play in your car on the way to work or school and still be dancing to by lunch time. Definitely reccomended. :)
Love this band! July 20, 2005

I got their other 2 records on Adeline but I like this one the best. They had a great song on the Rock Against Bush comp, and it's on here again. Totally rockin record all the way through.

The Soviettes come out swinging and deliver a dazzling and dizzying combination to kick off on their third full-length CD. The ebullient and brash "Multiply and Divide" simply explodes with sheer punk goodness and just the right amount of cocksure, X-Ray Spex-style new wave. The lone male in the group, drummer Danny, belts out backups on this track (and others), funneling his snide and snotty vocals through, what sounds like an old bull-horn, a perfect complement to the potent main vocals. It is quickly followed by another brilliant burner, "Paranoia Cha Cha Cha!" Within a minute, you'll be chanting the chorus, "They say you're gonna be shut down," along with the gals while jumping out of your chair, pumping your fists and looking for a riot to join. The Minneapolis quartet throws in some tasty and tantalizing curves like the pensive "Gotta Decide" and the raucous girl-vs-boy exchange "How Do You Like That?" And look out Macarena and Lambada, "(Do) The Stagger" should be the next big dance craze.

Having seen The Soviettes on a couple of occasions, it's hard not to compare the energy of the album with that of the ever so slightly better live performances. Multiply and Divide & Paranoia CHA CHA CHA have been talked about already, so I'd recommend several consecutive listens to a real hidden gem, What Did I Do?! Not at "catchy" as (Do)The Stagger but nonetheless infectious.
