Gillette" brand in Poland and Germany,while as Gillette solo releases everywhere else.
The Hartford Courant noted that "20 Fingers depends on a heavy guitar crunch and lapsed cheerleader chants—The Beastie Boys' '(You Gotta) Fight for Your Right (To Party!)' crossed with Toni Basil's 'Mickey!'" [3] The Toronto Star called the album "an appealing mix of dance and rock styles that,given a chance,will transcend the novelty tag." [4]
