Reviews In Brief
Angry, disturbed, resentment, lost, need, adversarial are words that could be used to describe "Bought to Rot", Laura Jane's inaugural solo release. While there are moments of old school Against Me, LJ shows glints of country and folk- electrified of course. But make no mistake this is an aggressive record. LJ has stuff to scream about and she is doing just that whether it's about a withering relationship, being f'd over or the lack of self love. BTR starts vitriolic and angry but by the end she comes to terms with everything careening around in her head. It's not a perfect record but its nice to have someone pissed off and not mincing words- which can help you release on those off days... especially if you're having a bad day in Chicago....
Favorite Songs: Born In Black, The Airplane Song, Reality Bites, Manic Depression, Apocapypse Now (& Later)
