Divinyls

Desperate
1983 Original In Custom Inner Lyric Sleeve And Gold Promo Stamp On Front Jacket. Appears Unplayed. "Sydney, Australia's Divinyls Couple Christina Amphlett's Unusual Vocal Mannerisms With The Band's Rowdy Pop Sound — Kind Of Like AC/DC Meets The Pretenders, With A Soup‡On Of Lene Lovich And A Few Subtle, Unexpected Chord-Progression Shifts. The Thick Guitar And Keyboard Textures Pack A Marvelous Rock'n'roll Punch; The Downside Is The Band's Occasional Flirtation With Arena Clichés. Amphlett Appeared In The Movie Monkey Grip, For Which The Group Recorded The Six Songs Contained On The EP; Some Were Redone For Desperate. The LP's Standouts Include "Only You" (All The Above Comparisons Applicable In One Song, And It Works!) And The Goofily Lovable "Science Fiction." Even The Weakest Songs Get By On Sheer Gusto. The Easybeats' "I'll Make You Happy" Is Given A Hard-Rock Update, As Amphlett Blithely Assumes The Song's Assertive Role Which Had, After All, Been Written For A Man.” – Trouserpress.Com
