Bif Naked stands strong with her latest album "Purge". This album has more singing and less yelling and the songs are better than any song from Bif Naked's previous albums. Overall Bif Naked has grown with this album. I was obsessed with the album "I Bifcus" because the songs touched me on a level that no other musician has been able to touch. When I found out about this album I knew I was going to be infatuated with it. This album has been proven worthy, and the passion that Bif puts into these songs is beyond believable. Her vocals are so melancholy that they almost bring tears to ones eyes.Track Highlights
1.) Choking On The Truth - This song has a great beat and the chorus is fun to sing along to.
2.) Tango Shoes - Prior to listening to the album, I judged this song by its title thinking who would write a song about "Tango Shoes". After listening to this track I have come to realize its uniqueness and meaning which has made it by far one of my favorites.
3.) Dawn - I like the sound of this track because it has an antique feeling to it and the lyrics are extremely sad and meaningful.
4.) I Love Myself Today - This is one of the more fun tracks on this album stepping away from its sad theme. This is one of those songs that you just want to scream along to. This track is very positive and will get you through your day. This track was also the first single released from this album
5.) Stolen Sidewalk - This is a song that has been compared to "Lucky" from the "I Bificus" album and I just can't understand why. Don't get me wrong "Stolen Sidewalk" is a fantastic track that is an original in its own, but so is "Lucky".
6.) October Songs - This song is a fun track with a somewhat positive message. This song can be portrayed in two ways I suppose. This track is extremely catchy and the lyrics were really thought out.
7.) Leader - This song is the second single from this album and it's fierce beat will make it a hit. This track has a good meaning indicating that people shouldn't be followers. At this track nears the end it begins to sound like a heavy-metal track.
8.) You Are The Master - This is a great song that has single potential. This song is by far one of the most unique songs I have ever heard. Not only is the beat unique, but just the pure Idea of the song. Basically, Bif portrays herself as a dog in this song and she simply is about to give up saying "You are the master and I am The Dog". She is saying that in relationships people begin to feel empowered and the other person simply becomes the dog needing everything from the master.
9.) Regular Guy - This is a great bouncy track where Bif gets to express what she wants in a guy.
10.) Hold On - This is a great ballad that expresses at its minimum to "Hold On". This song almost sounds country but its not quite there.
11.) Story Of My Life - This is another fun track and Bif's voice sounds so beautiful over this song's un-tempo beat. There is a little break in this song telling a little story, I found it kind of funny because you don't hear that often in many songs.
12.) Religion - This is yet another great track with a cool, dark beat and fantastic lyrics. At this songs simplest form Bif is saying "You are my religion". At the end of this track there is a hidden remix of "I Love Myself Today" which I found quite unique because it has a techno sound. I found the Idea of remixing a rock song and making it into a dance track quite rare.
This is Bif Naked at the fullest and if you missed her with her last album then here is your second chance. This isn't a CD you can pass up. This CD should be hitting the US soon as well, any day now, mark my words. Don't be the one that wonders what everyone else is listening to and check this CD out.
If you are a fan this is for you.
