The Donnas American Teenage Rock and Roll Machine:
This is The Donnas' second album, and their first release on Lookout Records. Unfortunately, this was a really disappointing release. Their Ramones-type first album was so awesome that this release just makes you wonder what happened. American Teenage Rock N Roll Machine doesn't sound at all like The Ramones, but like Joan Jett...and that's not cool. This album is not without its good songs though. "Rock and Roll Machine," "Checkin' It Out," "Outta My Mind," and "Wanna Get Some Stuff" were pretty good songs, but the album as a whole sucked. In addition to the sound, their lyrics changed too. Their lyrics went from being about french kissing on the first album, to being about sex and "stickin it in" on this album. I'm guessing that their progression in lyrics is due to the fact that they've graduated from High School and have a different perspective of the opposite sex, than they did during their first album. This is certainly not that great of a release, having only four good songs out of ten. Lookout Records
