The Distillers - S/T

The startlingly self-assured self-titled debut LP from the Distillers is brash, stabbingly poetic, and masterfully wreckless. 14 diverse punk rock songs range from the most acerbic hardcore to intensely stirring punk anthems, all guided by the stripped-to-the-bone urgency of Brody Armstrong's extraordinary musical vision and the brutal honesy of her authobiographical lyrics. High points include "The World Comes Tumblin'," "Oh Serena" and "Gypsy Rose Lee," and a unique Patti Smith cover.
