Exile in Guyville Reviews:
!!!!! 
2007-02-17 - A good cd. Much better than her newer music. If you like good music, you should pick this cd up.
and yes I said yes I will Yes
2007-02-16 - This is a great album that has stood the test of time. "Flower" - WOW. I wish Liz wanted ME that bad.
unsure that i would like? LOVED it
2007-01-15 - Ok im not the type of person that only likes the mainstream...not at ALL. i love my Tori Amos, Fiona Apple, PJ harvey and such like the next person they are all fantastic. With Liz Phair i have to be honest i brought Whitechoc and whipsmart first (based on reviews) and despite really liking a few songs on both i wasnt excited...and they made little impact...this of course made me unhappy because via the reviews i was expecting to find yet another new goddess of great music....i then brought liz phair and somebodys miracle...and despite understanding some fans point in the sounds...i still loved the music its great catchy stuff and in no way has she "sold out" by making it, its her choice to go in another direction musically and she's done the lo-fi thing now so why not move on? ANYWAYS in all of this i knew i had to at some point get Exile, supposedly her best work, raved about, in rolling stones top 500? but i was unsure...after whipsmart and co...well i got it and....wow! so good, as good as they say and better! i LOVE this album 6''1, help me mary, dance of the seven viels,never said,mesmerising, f**k and run, girls!, stratford-on-guy and strange loop are all among her best ever songs and i would recommend this album to anyone...and another great thing is it made me go back to the other two and they are not as great but they both come close! so yeh her first three are her best...and she has vocal limits...but on exile this works brillaintly for her, Liz Phair rocks amongst the best!!!!!!
This is not the usual
2006-11-06 - album that is going to sound great to most people out of the box, but given time it will grow on you. It certainly is not the most polished piece of work but that is part of the charm. I am kind of tired of over produced albums being held up as the pinnacle of music. Sometimes you have to find the diamond in the rough and appreciate it for what it is.
The lyrics alone make this worth the price of admission. There are very few artists that can write the things that are found in this album and then have the guts to sing them out loud.
If you are looking for something polished and top 40 this is not it, but if you have an open mind give it a try.
Fantastic Record
2006-06-24 - This album will grow on you faster then moss in a swamp. Lyrics that when you hear them - your just happy she's not singing about you - yet are sexy enough that you also wish she was singing about you. Also, in the songs you really can see Liz's inner thoughts and insecurities. It was said when she went to support this record her stage fright was enormous - you can also see that nervousness in her songs. Do yourself a favor and put up the 14 or 15 bones and be entertained by the sexy girl next door Liz.
