Purge

I bought this album first & was not disappointed. I think some of her songs kinda have to grow on some, but for the most part you can find alot to enjoy in each of her songs. She's a great singer with a good range and alot of spunk! The lyrics are good, many will find much to relate to in her words, and the music is awesome. I recommend this to anyone who enjoys female rock/alternative/punk rockers!

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 Highlights1.) 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 album5.) 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.

That is how I feel about "Purge".I bought the cd around Christmas time, and waiting that long's worth it! I was happy to hear songs like Dawn, Choking on the truth, I love myself today and Stolen sidewalk.It seems like Bif is getting better, and her voice is sweeter than before. In comparison to Ibificus, Purge is almost the same, but has some extra little changes in it. What's great is the hidden dance track to I love myself today, at the end of the disc.All the songs have meaningful lyrics, and catchy tunes. The pics are nice too! I didn't realize how pretty Bif is up close.I think that Purge is more of the true Bif coming out. Because the cd has a pop/rock sound to it, I am coming to appreciate Bif's voice a lot more. What helps is when you can read what the artist is singing in the booklet at the same time.One thing that would have made Purge even better was if "Were not going to take it" was included on the album. It is such a successful single for Bif, and it's always playing on the TV. Too bad!Here is the tracklist:1-Choking on the truth, 2-Tango shoes, 3-Dawn, 4-I love myself today, 5-Stolen sidewalk, 6-October song, 7-Leader, 8-You are the master, 9-Regular guy, 10-Hold on, 11-Story of my life, 12-Religion, 13-I love myself today "Hidden" (Long dance mix)From when Bif started her career with her first, ultra-rare album called Bif, up to now, it's obvious that Bif has changed for the better. She's screaming a lot less, and singing a lot more. What a great cd Purge is.Hope the review helped you.

Bif's sophomore album provides us with more fun songs with a dark edge.At first listen this album seems to be quite different from "I Bificus", but as you listen to it a little more you find that it's the Bif that we've come to know and love with a slightly different sound. Her songs delve into subjects such as religion, obsession, lost love, and tango shoes. With a mix like that you know you're in for a treat.The first single from the album is "I Love Myself Today". It has a rock/hip-hop feel to it that grows on you the more you listen. Then you have "Stolen Sidewalk"... if you liked "Lucky" from her first album then you will love this one. It has the same haunting feel of "Lucky", but makes you feel more of the emotion behind the song. After that you have a string of songs that will stick in your head and have you humming at work all day. All in all I would say that there are about 6 or 7 solid songs on this album with the rest filling in quite nicely. It's definitely worth the extra money that imports cost

Could Purge be just as satisfying as Bif's previous release, I Bificus? Indeed. Taken with the spunk and heart from I Bificus, Purge is a full on great listen. Choking On the Truth begins the cd with a similar sound as the tracks on I Bificus, but with Tango Shoes, things get a bit different. And there's nothing bad in that. The nifty beat to Tango Shoes is followed by Dawn which mellows out a bit but doesn't let you down. I Love Myself Today is a power anthem! Was for me. Great song. Things do get a little slow with Stolen Sidewalk. Bif's lyrics always shine but with Stolen Sidewalk, they're touching in an off way. But that's what makes her music so grand. The remaining tracks continue to be great listens. Most notable are ... well, all of them. Although Leader, You Are the Master, and Hold On tend to be more favorable for me. Bif has done an awesome follow up to I Bificus. Another album? Yes, please.
