Stereo Review wrote that "the sex-rocking 'Shag, the punk-snarling 'Get the Writing Off My Back', and the boom-boom-booming 'Brillo Hunt' are as catchy as anything on Last Splash but more fully arranged." [17] Rolling Stone called Boom! Boom! Boom! "a fun and arty fuck-about of a solo album," writing that "there's a lot of sonic debris here, too: bratty Mouseketeer-like cheers, hokey ditties such as 'Stripper' and arbitrary instrumentation like military snare drums and penny whistles." [18] The Columbus Dispatch concluded: "While several cuts spill over with resonating guitar pop, many ride the fence between full-on heavy metal and numbing alt-rock. While the latter is inoffensive, its impact is ephemeral at best." [19]
The Guardian deemed the album "splenetic punky numbers one minute, lovelorn crooning the next," writing that it "veers between the actually-quite-good and arrant nonsense." [14] The Albuquerque Journal determined that "though most of the 15 songs (like the loosely structured 'Stripper', a sort of poke at the dancing profession, and the drumroll march of 'Total War') are experimental to be sure, there are still a couple of radio-ready pop gems, like the album opener, 'Shag', and 'Confidence Girl'." [20] The Boston Herald remarked that "the odd 'When He Calls Me Kitten' transfixes with a bizarre Ann-Margret-visits-the-Mississippi-Delta-blues vibe." [11] The Plain Dealer thought that "while [Sugar Altar's] lyrics seemed to evade serious issues, [Deal]'s now developing an oblique, personal language to explore them." [16]
All tracks composed by Kelley Deal; except where indicated
The Beatles, also referred to colloquially as the White Album, is the ninth studio album and only double album by the English rock band the Beatles, released on 22 November 1968. Featuring a plain white sleeve, the cover contains no graphics or text other than the band's name embossed. This was intended as a direct contrast to the vivid cover artwork of the band's previous LP Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band. The Beatles is recognised for its fragmentary style and diverse range of genres, including folk, British blues, ska, music hall, proto-metal and the avant-garde. It has since been viewed by some critics as a postmodern work, as well as one of the greatest albums of all time.
