Skunk Anansie has tended to visit Heaven and Hell in alternate breaths. Though POST ORGASMIC CHILL is less extreme, the songs still plummet from the highest, hardest of metal rages into the most blissful and plaintive of whispers. What sets this album apart from the previous two is the subtle use of electronica, unusual percussion, and even snippets of jungle-perhaps a belated response to Skunk Anansie's sampling by the Prodigy.
The first track "Charlie Big Potato" is typical. After a brief drum-and-bass intro, Skunk Anansie launches into a thumping guitar motif and incredible vocals that leap from a hushed murmur into passionate screams of anguish. The repetitive, churning guitar themes latch onto the brain while, in contrast, the very American string arrangements add extra emotive power. Skin's incredible voice is celebrated for articulating black-feminist rage, but it is just as wonderful on the ballads. These were actually the band's more successful singles. CHILL includes "You'll Follow Me Down," "Lately," and "Secretly," which exhibits a terrifically impassioned, empowering response to infidelity and a lovely, uncharacteristic haze of guitars in the central section.

Professional Reviews

Q (4/99, p.98) - 3 Stars (out of 5) - "...intense, nasty, big and brutish: sonic warfare fed through speadkers, the singer enunciating words of fury so passionately, you can almost hear her teeth gnashing together..."

Alternative Press (11/99, p.123) - 3 out of 5 - "...reflects the past 10 years of indie-guitar-rock preoccupations with surprising effectiveness....the best bits are those that find the band toying with less conventional, even dance-deranged, inflections..."

Vibe (9/99, p.268) - "...the group's best, exploring both their fearless and vulnerable sides with equal determination..."
