| | Throwing Muses : Hunkpapa - Listen, Review and Buy at ARTISTdirect |
 | | On their third album, Hunkpapa, Throwing Muses' volatility settled into a jangly, angular style of college rock. |
 | | However, Hunkpapa isn't a total loss: the wild, desolate "Bea" and harrowing "Mania" put rock muscle behind the wildness of the Muses' early work, resulting in two of their best songs. |
 | | Tanya Donelly's "Dragonhead" and "Angel" continue her growth as a pop songwriter; though it's reported to be one of her least favorite Muses songs, Kristin Hersh's "Dizzy" proves that she can write relatively straightforward pop songs as well as anguished, complex ones. |
