A fiercely passionate juggernaut of punk-fueled rock & roll, CORAL FANG goes straight for the throat from the opening surge of "Drain the Blood." The Distillers are the street-worn vehicle of Brody Dalle, who exorcises her former surname, Armstrong (as in Tim Armstrong of Rancid), in almost every hard-charging song on FANG. As far as break-up albums go, this one's a doozy, largely due to Dalle's gargled-with-gravel voice, which makes Courtney Love sound like a dainty 10-year-old schoolgirl.
Impressively, Dalle's self-penned tunes match her gutsy singing, and thanks to her proficient band and Gil Norton's muscular production, certain tracks sound like they could be outtakes from Nirvana's IN UTERO, most noticeably the stomping "The Gallow Is God." Other songs--such as "Dismantle Me," "Die on a Rope," "Love Is Paranoid," and the title track--pulse with a faster, frantic punk energy, while "The Hunger" leads off with an acoustic guitar and "For Tonight You're Only Here to Know" is propelled by a catchy, new wave guitar riff. A welcome antidote to the faux angst peddled by many bands, CORAL FANG proves that the Distillers can channel real rage and frustration into some seriously potent music.
After a pair of scorching indie albums that reminded fans how much fun it was to throw your fist in the air, The Distillers make their major label debut with Coral Fang, produced by Gil Norton (The Pixies, Foo Fighters). 12 tracks. Sire. 2003.

Rolling Stone (10/30/03, p.91) - 4 stars out of 5 - "If Nirvana had been led by a chick singer, BLEACH might have sounded like the Distillers' CORAL FANG..."
Spin (12/03, pp.129-30) - "...There's plenty of dicey karma to burn - which turns out to be the perfect fuel for CORAL FANG's bite-me mojo..." - Grade: B+
Entertainment Weekly (10/17/03, pp.79-80) - "...The latest incarnation of the Distillers has brawn to spare, and the quartet tears through these songs with the 'one-two-three-four' thrust of modern punk..." - Rating: B
Q (01/01/04, p.80) - Ranked #20 in Q's "The 50 Best Albums of 2003"
Q (11/03, p.114) - 3 stars out of 5 - "...Armstrong has a strange voice, oddly masculine, but occasionally vulnerable....She exudes charisma..."
CMJ (11/3/03, p.8) - "...A fervent commitment to edgy, femme, frothing punk rock...is fully exemplified on CORAL FANG....There's not one iota of corporate or faux punk residing on this disc..."

Coral Fang Music Review
Average Rating: (4.8 out of 5 stars)   List All 77 Reviews Buen remake de Hole
Brody Dalle suena bastante (demasiado) parecida a Courtney Love. Hay canciones que parecen sacadas de "Live through this" o "Celebrity skin", el grunge está en todos lados. No es un mal disco: "The hunger", "Coral fang" y "Death sex" (una canción de 11 minutos) están muy buenas. El grupo suena con energía "histérica" propia de las grrrl bands, pero en ese caso prefiero a Yeah Yeah Yeahs o L7.

Buy this album now!!!!
I have not been able to stop listening to this album since I got it. If you like " Sing Sing Death House" you will live this album. This album is polished, produced and easy to sing along to, but defintely not pop that some people call punk these days. Brody's lyrics and voice give are passionate and full of emotion and the bands playing is tight. A must have for any CD collection, especially for fans of real punk.

it's a wonderfull album, one of the best I ever heard, just after Nirvana's In Utero and Smashing Pumpkins's Mellon Collie and Infinite Sadness... but it's a really good album! The Brody Dalle voice is too cool! DISTILLERS rock's!
