The L.A. quartet was already way up in the grrl pantheon when this disc put them over the top. "Hungry for Stink" delivers a primitive, sludgy, and pissed-off sound, but listen closer for the sonic invention on tracks like "Shirley, She Has Eyes" and "Riding With the Movie Star." --Jeff Bateman

Although it did not equal the commercial success of "Bricks Are Heavy", "Hungry For Stink" is many fan's favorite, including mine, both of L7 and for the Grunge era. The music, lyrics, production and feel are dark and heavy, but a bright, manic, defiant, optimism shines through the whole record, not unlike that in the Ramones' classics, "Road To Ruin" and "Rocket To Russia".*
Although recorded very nicely in a studio, the sound is that of a working band that's tight, in practice and has some great, new, songs they've worked out on stage and want to capture. No studio experiments, and nothing self concious or half-serious about it.
"Hungry..." erupts with the anthemic "Andres", a song about "a guy with long hair" who can fix the air conditioning... the heavy groove proves in every sweet, thundering, bar, that ovaries don't get in the way of playing rock and roll. And never did. This is such a great song, I've been at parties and trying to explain this record to people and tried singing this... it cracks my wife up!
The 11 songs that follow range from the punk dirges "Baggage" and "Talk Box" to the sharp, alienated rock of "Can I Run" and "Freak Magnet"; The hard, power-pop sensability of "Riding With A Movie Star", "Stuck Here Again", and "She Has Eyes" and more mosh-pit screamers like "The Bomb", "Shirley", and "Fuel My Fire".
A little bit of rock-star introspecton, grunge-style, slips in with "Questioning My Sanity"

If you like Bricks are heavy, your love this cd! The same metal beat but with cooler lyrics. Fast and in your face! My favorite song would be Shirley, its about a drag race that has its frist woman driver. Really awesome. A cd for the metalheads.

This is the best L7 album, i analyzed all six of their albums and concluded this one has the best production. The guitar, bass and drums on this album are all outstandingly coordinated. My fav songs are "Andres", "Riding with a Movie Star", "Stuck Here Again", Fuel My Fire", and "She has Eyes". "She Has Eyes" has a very mellow sound to it. This album has alot of different moods. It is an outstanding piece of work. It's a must.

I don't really like this band anymore because I have made a radical life change over the years and I just don't listen to this type of music anymore. But I still had to get on here and give this band some respect. These girls freaken rock, and even though there lyrics aren't quite the best, I've heard a lot worse on the mainstream radio. The don't sugarcoat anything at all. They tell it how they see it through their eyes. The basic fact is, these girls know how to jam. There is no other band that does it quite like them. They'll go down in my musical history books.

I have listened to female rock very much lately. I think it is great that there's a band like this one. They are like metal but somehow punk...let's call it "punk metal" (if it is a good name). Their attitude is like in the most punk albums. The songs are much more metal...at least in this album. I heard at first their greatest masterpiece "Bricks Are Heavy" and then this one. There's a great start for this album: "Andres" is very scary song...the way they sing "Andres, I'm Sorry" is very cold. "Baggage" is a very heavy song and the next one "Can I Run" is also a frightening song...at least if you haven't heard punk or metal before. This album gives many great moments including "Fuel My Fire", "Talk Box", "She Has Eyes", "Questioning My Sanity", "Freak Magnet". This is even heavier than "Brick Are Heavy". I consider L7 as a female Slayer because the songs are really evil. L7 is a great band among Girlschool and The Runaways that also girls and women can rock. The reason why this isn't perfect are the songs "Riding with a Movie Star" and "Stuck Here Again"...I just don't like those songs.
Stars: Andres, Can I Run, She Has Eyes
