| | TWAS 282: Julie Gold, Bellatrix (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08) |
 | | I usually distrust flawlessness, but Bellatrix's version of it, like Stretch Princess and Scarlet's versions before it, seems to match my neuro-receptors perfectly, and I absorb these songs without, as best I can tell, any intermediating layer of analysis. |
 | | Bellatrix lyrics are dreadful, for example, and while that doesn't detract from my visceral enjoyment in any way, it can't be a good sign that smarter bands I've adored similarly imploded long before their natural lives should have expired. |
 | | I'd like to believe that Bellatrix have a dozen albums ahead of them, that they'll learn to write songs with lyrical substance under the impregnable gloss, that they'll eclipse all the bands they currently remind me of. |
