This release has possibly one or more of the finest line's I've heard in a long, long time.

''Having sex with you is like pulling teeth, yeah'' kinda sets the scene for this album, which is Amanda's first nod in the direction of rock n roll. She is an accomplished operatic singer, with a large portfolio of work under her belt already...it sometimes creeps out within the songs on this album. The production of this work is extremely good and quite a refreshing backdrop to writing reviews...not offensive, but hilariously funny and well crafted lyrics...it has bite!!

'Monica's Getting Her Tits Done' is a work of art, and surely going to be a crowd-pleaser when live shows commence. ''I wish we had a set of wheels, I’d wear my 4-inch leopard heels, I’m getting blisters on this street, When I get home you better kiss my sexy feet ,
Monica’s getting her tits done - She’ll be the hottest piece in Boston'

Check the album out for yourselves and tell her we sent ya...you won't regret it!
