We Care

Melody Maker (12/23-30/95, pp.66-67)
- Ranked #34 on Melody Maker's list of 1995's `Albums Of The Year.'

NME (12/23-30/95, pp.22-23)
- Ranked #46 in NME's `Top 50 Albums Of The Year' for 1995.

Rolling Stone (10/19/95, p.152)
- 3.5 Stars - Good - "...satisfies a raging appetite for distorted guitars while remembering punk and betraying an inevitable background in Abbaesque pop..."

Musician (10/95, p.86)
- "Spunky in every sense of the term, this Swedish trio revels in the cheesiest aspects of rock culture: naughty jokes, nasty sex and noisy guitars....they're definitely going after the Beavis & Butt-head in us all--it's hard not to appreciate the wit involved..."

Melody Maker (7/29/95, p.33)
- Recommended - "...chunky, junky, bad-assed and funky....it's better when it heads into stranger lands..."

NME (8/12/95, p.42)
- 8 (out of 10)
- "...one third the Beasties, one third Beck and one third the Banana Splits. And one third EMF. Yes, that's four overflowing thirds of gloriously excessive hip-hop attitude, screamingly tasteless thrash-punk riffola and shouty dayglo teenage lust rammed into one regular-sized debut album..."

Vibe (9/95, p.174)
- "...possesses all that's happening on your FM dial....WE CARE exhibits an alert grasp on the desires of the fast-food, on-line generation. In this troublesome musical world of do-or-die sharks and spineless jellyfish, Whale comes off as hard as Moby Dick."

Entertainment Weekly (8/4/95, pp.58-59)
- "These wacky Swedes fare best when they downplay their weirdness and just rock hard. Their dumb insults and pornographic come-ons can be fun, and they're capable of stretching a couple of tunes into tasty jazz treats..." - Rating: B
