Sooo many singles!! This album is so cool!  I'm a sucker for a strong female lead, and Ida Maria is one of my favorites. She's like the rock chick from high school who would probably kick your ass. She is from Norway, and proves that not all Scandinavian musicians are weirdos like Bjork, or Gorgoroth. The sound is very much like the garage rock of the late '90s. The whole album is good, another example of the perfect album.
