Synopsis

Album Description

The rockingest Femmes album returns! Originally scheduled for a 1998 release on Interscope, Freak Magnet was pulled when the band was dropped from the label. Promo copies fetched upwards of $50 until the album was released in improved form by indie label Beyond in 2000. Beyond soon went under, leaving Freak Magnet in limbo once again. Now, Shout! Factory is reissuing an even more improved version of Freak Magnet?including bonus tracks?finally giving it the widespread exposure it deserves.

CD Reviews

Probably only femmes fans will get something out of it.

Rachel E. Spence | Woodbridge, VA USA | 04/17/2006

(3 out of 5 stars)

"Some of the music on this CD is very catchy, I'm a fan of the first few songs Freak Magnet, Sleepwalking, and Hollywood is High. If you're looking for something the quality of Hallowed Ground or the Violent Femmes, this isn't it, but it still is an entertaining album. It is sort of a different type of sound, but if you like the femmes you will be able to find something good in this album, otherwise you probably won't like it so much."
