Huge fan - one of the great ROCK bands of the last 20 years. Forget that 'for a bunch of girls' shyte. All of their records are great but 'The Woods' is an amazing album. One of my all time favorites. I think the reason it is so loud is that it was intended to be cathartic and abrasive and in your face (and it sounds AMAZING on Vinyl!!!). If it had been a bunch of guys who had done it, I bet it would have been a lot more popular. I admit I am something of an aficionado of girl garage bands, and that's how I found S-K in the first place, but they've quickly transcended any gender-inspired labels or limitations for me. Corin's voice and the vocal interplay between Corin and Carey can take some getting used to, but once you're hooked, you are HOOKED. I hope, with these re-releases, they will gain a new generation of fans. Can't wait for the new album!
