Best Records Of 2005-Attagirl

Attagirl-Bettie Serveert
Carol’s van Dijk's breathless, sexy cover of Bright Eyes' "Lover I Don't Have To Love" is a nice, rocking opening song. Her voice is the band's best instrument, and it's what pulled me back to the band for the first time since Palomino in the 1990s(along with Peter Visser's surf guitar) in the title song. I also liked the chill club-ready electro-pop of “Versaci”; Don't Touch That Dial" is fast-paced and rhythmic. Visser also has a bit of impressive slide work on "Greyhound Boy," maybe the catchiest track on the record.
