It is vital that a disc into the section of "Classic" is an LP of a timeless popularity. Obviously, Folsom Prison Blues by Johnny Cash or "Euphoria Morning" by Chris Cornell are legendary albums, but there is also room for those who got a lesser extent bring about change. One of these was, no doubt, "Bricks Are Heavy", the third LP from L7 Angelinas that you just show the real skills they bear within them the irreverent and protected wild Donita Sparks.
The legend was born of this LP from 1990, that L7 released a second album - "Smell The Magic" - which led to California to try something more refined, but with the bitter and crushing regustado that had characterized to date. This convinced Butch Vig, who by then was working with "Nevermind" by Nirvana, to produce a third album that would end up planting a precedent within the female punk wave that was beginning to poke his head.
With a perfect blend of punk 80's, 90's grunge and a thin halo of pop tart, L7 manufactured a disc with such memorable songs as 'Shitlist' (known to belong to the soundtrack of "Natural Born Murderers") or 'Scrap', theme based on an alleged skinhead who lived in the garage of Donita. The bass lines echoing beneath a thundering guitars that perfectly wrapped in a mesmerizing vocal Donita Sparks knew to rise to the occasion. There was something very dirty, very sexual charm he knew anyone who listened to the album. Both the semi subtle 'Pretend We're Dead' and in the cyclic 'Diet Pill', that was certainly omnipresent intoxicating effect.
Unfortunately the legend of Sparks, Gardner, Tanaka & Co. finally vanished by 2000. The formula no longer worked, leaving a witness - a reflection of their past LP - "Bricks Are Heavy" - was coming to be remembered as one of our favorite albums of the 90. Sex, drink bitter and dirty spaces came together in an album that will never forget. Donita Thanks!
