Its not that good..
I remeber when I first read about the band, I was intrigued and bought the album. I think the album has its moments like the first 3 tracks, but then after that it kind of goes downhill...It just seems like the band gets stuck in a monotonous rythem and it just stays their, in other words, it gets boring...If you wanna get hardcore by girls, check out L7, they destroy this band. (The review below is mine, I had done it anonymous first)

It's back and in your Face
This Album is hardcore from start to end. It is about time it was released again for the masses to enjoy. If you are looking for a band that would tear the arms off the Spice Girls and beat them with it, you are looking for Seven Year Bitch. This album touches on all levels. You don't have to go any further than the first two songs off the album and you know you had better sit down, shut up, and listen. A must for anyone with that itch for the hard stuff. ... Read more

I LOVE THIS ALBUM!!!
I, like the other reviewer, heard of this great band from viva variety and FELL IN LOVE WITH THEM!!! They are truly one of the greatest female rock bands to ever have existed. This album is excellent from begginning to end and then back again. If you have any sense at all you will buy it and then listen to it til you go insane.

Amazing grrrrl rock!!
This album is soooooo great!! It is the first - and best - of Cake Like's recordings. I originally picked up Bruiser Queen, their second album, after seeing Kerri Kenney (of The State fame) and her band play "Lorraine's Car" on Viva Variety, the short-lived sketch comedy/variety show in which she starred. That album was so great, I ordered this one straight from the distributor, at a whopping $38. Apparently, it's been re-released since then, lucky for you!! It is impossible to describe Cake Like's music - when they started the band, none of the three women could play an instrument, so the music is raw, and the lyrics are witty, intelligent, angry at times, ever so amusing, and great to sing along with. The vocals are so amazing, like Siouxsie Sioux meets Kate Bush meets PJ Harvey meets Juliana Hatfield. Or something. Pick this one up - I promise you will NOT be disappointed! ... Read more

Not for new fans....
Although the songs on this single are awesome, I would not recommend buying it, as the songs are contained on the album...why not just buy the album and have them all, rather than just a couple?? I would probably only recommend this to a die hard Sleater-Kinney fan, who is trying to complete a collection... ... Read more

Although most of the music on Periscope isn't confrontational, the artists' lyrics are often in-your-face. Bands like Mukilteo Fairies, Fitz of Depression and Copass Grinderz go right for the throat, while Tattle Tale, Cub, Go Sailor, The Crabs and several of the other groups find themselves more in line with the emotion-laden, minimal pop of the Olympia, Washington, scene well represented on this disc. Hell, there's even a Beck song on here! But for the most part, Periscope is a good companion piece to Kill Rock Stars' series of compilations because it showcases many of the same bands as well as others with a similar musical ethic that the label has perhaps overlooked. --Adem Tepedelen ...
