		Melissa and company completely deliver, and I am impressed how these songs are made "fresh" after hearing the "tired" sounding original versions by Ozzy andamp; co. I think that Melissa's performance alone makes this cd worth while, even though the band's performance is definately up to par.
		Melissa Auf der Maur is one of those rare artists whose singles are just as good as the full-lenght album.
		Melissa Auf der Maur has filled the roles of bass player/backup vocalist for the likes of Hole and Smashing Pumpkins and as backup vocalist for Ric Ocasek (Troublizing) in the past.

		Auf der Maur isn't a terrible debut album, but at this stage in her career--and working at this level--much better was expected.
		Melissa Auf Der Maur's debut shows the polish of many years in other people's bands, but she's strong on her own two feet, in her own unique sound.
		Some reviews here have slanted Melissa's lyrics, but I personally feel that, nonsensical to some, these words have deeper meaning to Auf der Maur, and that some of the lyrics included need to be taken in on a wider mindset instead of being looked at from one dimension.

	Melissa Auf der Maur by Benjamin Friedland
		Auf der Maur is tangibly androgynous: she creates beefy songs with vamp-y intentions and a wonderful tension (or “duality” as she calls it) that traces and sustains the set.
		And so Auf der Maur comes to symbolize a pent-up rage — both hers and her likeminded fans — that could only be conveyed through sweaty, hedonistic, net-less rock.
		Auf der Maur took the job and played in the band for the next five years before leaving in 1999 —; coincidentally, the very week Pumpkins bassist D’Arcy Wretzky quit.

		Auf der Maur may be more well known for being one of alt-rock's cult sex symbols, but she does have some very interesting things to say musically, and she recruited just the right talent (Hole's Eric Erlandson, former A Perfect Circle/Zwan bassist-violinist Paz Lenchantin, producer Chris Goss) to help her say them.
		Melissa wrote almost all the songs on the album and called up her good friends in bands like Queens of the Stone Age, Kyuss, Tinker and Hole to help her out in the studio and add their bit of musicianship.
		Not only should Auf der Maur be listened to for the driving, bombastic, ethereal piece of artistic rock that it is, but we should all support an artist who made this album by paying for it with her own money even before having a label to distribute it.

		With some misgivings, Auf der Maur made the decision to leave behind her home town, her attendance at University, and Tinker (despite the now-favorable prospects for landing a record deal) in order to join up with Hole in Seattle.

		Melissa: Well thank God I have years and years and years of deconstructing the shy person I was before, so the years of touring I did obviously helped me get used to performing in general.
		Melissa: Oh, no. The way I did this and the spirit behind the record was a complete reaction in the other direction to what I was involved with before.
		Melissa: Well I will be the ring leader to throw us all in the studio next year when we have some time off definitely, but that talk basically was one weekend with acoustic guitars and Guinness in the Chelsea Hotel about 2 years ago.

		Melissa Auf Der Maur’s musical career could be looked at as a mixed bag of blessings.
		Auf Der Maur was financed by everything Melissa has earned and culminates in an album she has long dreamed of making.
		The album does showcase some of the same influence Melissa had on her former bands, but for the most part, it is a heavier, more bass-driven affair (no surprise there).
