Tank Girl: Original Soundtrack from the United Artists Film
: :A dreadful 'Let's Do It' by Joan Jett and Paul Westerberg is the only lame moment on the soundtrack of a flick that's destined to become the Rocky Horror of the '90s. The contemporary A list--Björk, Portishead, Belly, Veruca Salt, Hole and L7--all weigh in with new tracks; Björk's 'Army of Me' and Portishead's 'Roads' are standouts. 'Season with Mockingbird Girl' by a Stone Temples Pilots spinoff called The Mad Bastards adds to the film's considerable hip quotient. --Jeff Bateman

Eight Arms to Hold You
: :There's more of producer Bob Rock (AC/DC) here than the feisty band that recorded Seether two years previously. That's a good thing on the single 'Volcano Girls,' complete with its squealing guitars and 'I Am the Walrus' nod. Titles like 'With David Bowie' and 'Venus Man Trap' are the best thing about the rest of a rather one-dimensional package. --Jeff Bateman

IV
:Album Description:Veruca Salt skyrocketed to fame in 1994 with the alternative radio mega-hit 'Seether' off their Minty Fresh debut album 'American Thighs,' and followed with an equally successful sophomore effort, 1997's '8 Arms to Hold You.' After co-founder Nina Gordon left to pursue a solo career, lead singer/guitarist Louise Post reformed the band with guitarist Stephen Fitzpatrick and drummer Kellii Scott, to produce 2000's critically acclaimed 'Resolver,' described by Chicago Sun Times' Jim DeRogatis as 'the best album to be released under the band's Willy Wonka-inspired moniker, as well as one ...

Resolver (Parental Advisory)
: :Veruca Salt circulated through the late-'90s barrage of one-hit alt-rock bands with the single 'Seether,' and the number of critics placing bets in favor of the band's longevity was miniscule. But upon the departure of member Nina Gordon, lead singer Louise Post revamped the group, and Resolver beat the odds. The album follows the lead of fellow Chicagoans the Smashing Pumpkins with its monstrous guitars squalling against an explosive rhythm section. This tsunami of sound finds a strange bedfellow with Post's vocals. Immediately she seems a sweet, fuzzy urchin, but her ...

Resolver
:Album Description:Veruca Salt was one of the greatest rock soap operas since Fleetwood Mack or Husker Du, as longtime friends Louise Post and Nina Gordon had a bitter falling out over stolen boyfriends, stabbed backs, and general unpleasantness. Gordon set out on a solo career, while Post dug in her heels, retained the Veruca Salt name, assembled a new band, and recorded the third Veruca album, 2000's Resolver. The friendship with Gordon wasn't the only severed relationship Post endured between 1997's Eight Arms to Hold You and Resolver -- She also ...
