Review

Spin (11/01, p.132) - 8 out of 10 - "...These 'roller skating jams' - the best synth-beat indie rock since...their zinester inverts Big Black - have so much certainty [any criticism] is irrelevant..."
Q (12/01, p.140) - 3 stars out of 5 - "...A clever, catchy Day-Glo riot that anyone can join..."
Uncut (12/01, p.111) - 4 stars out of 5 - "...FEMINIST SWEEPSTAKES is the catchiest lesson in sexual politics you're likely to hear his season....Music with a message is rarely this entertaining..."
Alternative Press (01/02, pp.94-5) - 8 out of 10 - "...Some of the most original, passionate and listenable music of the year..."
The Wire (1/02, p.41) - Ranked #5 in Wire's "50 Records of the Year 2001" - "...proves the link between rollerskating and political commitment."
CMJ (10/15/01, p.7) - "...This is a SWEEPSTAKES anyone can win..."
Mojo (Publisher) (11/01, p.98) - "...This is protest music that doesn't protest too much - a music with such a joy and wit to its outrage that it acquires a universality beyond its subject matter..."

Title Note

On Le Tigre's second album Kathleen Hanna is no less radical, but her politically charged agenda sounds a bit callous and simple. And that's no accident: Hanna is simple. The concept behind Le Tigre, and the thing that differentiates it from her previous band, Bikini Kill, is that the drum machine rules. Each of Feminist Sweepstakes' 13 songs plinks along the rat-a-tat-tat beat of programmed percussion. The political outline is just a side effect. And Hanna straddles the line between cheeky and obnoxious throughout. It's certainly her lack of humor that makes this an arduous listen; it's her punk sensibilities that keep it at least interesting. She's fierce and committed in a way that hundreds of her rock-rap foes aren't. Hanna's enemies are bigger this time, and for a simple-minded gal, that's a huge step forward. ~ Michael Gallucci
