Best song on Reject All American. Very simple structure - verse chorus verse chorse verse chorus - but the little variations make the difference. the guitar tone is authentic riot grrl grunge - i particularly like the full over driven sound of the down picked power chord runs - but the pace is far more aggressive. the song climaxes when the drum roll rolls in the finale, kathleen starts holding her notes, and the beat cuts its tempo in half. counter intuitively, these changes stoke the flames earlier ignited.
Is it Carnival? No. Is it Suck My Left One? No. It's not even Pussy Whipped. Nevertheless, Bloody Ice Cream is proof that Bikini Kill can deliver the punk out even though their prime had passed.
