Add New Review About The Artist The Reviews about Skunk Anansie (page 1/1) The fourth in a brotherhood of Three | Reviewer: Macho | 2/5/2008 When I think of Skunk Anansie, I immediately want to have another name for the band itself. This is because Deborah the singer is their weak link, and takes far too much attention away from what is quite possibly the best punk/rock band in the history of major-signed rock. It is a constant annoyance and disappointment to hear such painstakingly well developed and textured music shouted over by a menstrual feminist who thinks shes in the slavery days of the 1640s. The men that actually do the work and the music that she uses to complain about men over, are actually some of the finest composers of the 20th Century, and their genius is unappreciated and mind-blowing. Strangely, while "Skin" peels off the band to work on a solo project with two album releases, Ace, Cass and Richardson (and Robbie France)fall into oblivion. This only serves to make it painfully obvious why Skunk Anansie was a success in the first place: with a black feminist at the front, everyone likes them. Black Females are the highest currency in western society. With a predominantly white male lineup who made the band what it was, however, no-one cares in the slightest. So Deborah only got one thing right: It seems there was a reason to sing about racism after all. Add New Review About The Artist
