Joan Jett and rock 'n' roll go hand in hand. This CD, by far is some of Jett's BEST yet. The CD's first single/video "A.C.D.C." features the lovely Ms. Jett and the sexy Carmen Electra, "Riddles" pokes fun at President Bush and his Administration, a "wake up people" call for the country, "Change The World" is for the planet, and much more.
Jett has survived rock 'n' roll's harshness. And now, she brandishes it as a weapon. This woman is ROCK 'N' ROLL. A good CD, a good buy for any music fan. Enjoy.
-- by far, the best recording she's done in years...
... her efforts and commitment to make it happen are admirable, as seen in the included video...
... in contrast with several bands of the 80s, returning or rejoining to remake their old hits, joan keeps on writing new music... very good music indeed!
... get it now, you won't regret it...
... cheers!
Some 25 years after "I Love Rock and Roll" made her a star, who'd have thought that Joan Jett would still be making vital sounding records? "Sinner" is a solid veteran rocker of a disc, with all the hallmarks of Joan's best past work. You want a solid social call out? Joan slaps it to the current regime on the CD's opener "Riddles." Barking out "wake up, people" just before dropping sound bites from Donald Rumsfeld and George W; it's a punky call to arms.
Then comes one of the obligatory covers (and the album's highlight), a ripping cover of Sweet's "Ac/Dc." (The other cover, of The Replacements' "Androgynous," does not fair as well.) "Ac/Dc" crunches the guitar chords, plays with ambiguous sexuality - LOVE that video - and glams like her Gary Glitter covers from the early days.
What holds the CD back is a couple of strange choices in back tracking. The decision to rerecord "Fetish" and "100 Feet Away" wiffs of filler, even if it might be some fans' first chance to hear them. But still, songs like "Everyone Knows" (her gay coming out song?), "Change The World" and a great ballad "Watersign" make up for the shortfalls. The Blackhearts are still kicking up a righteous racket, and "Sinner" is far better then anything we should be expecting at this late a date.
This is classic Joan Jett but all new songs. I LOVE this CD. I plan on buying a couple of more copies to give as gifts for Christmas. I definitely recommend purchasing this CD.
I got this album just a week ago and I cant stop listening to it. I checked out this album after hearing A.C.D.C on the radio and I am so happy that I did. This album is so great and the female emprowering lyrics are nice to hear again. Its rock and roll at its finest with great lyrics that really make you think. If you know of a young women who enjoys rock or punk music I would suggest you get them to check out this album. Jett shows all women that they can rock just as well as the men if not better.
