Friends Like Me (Atlantic Records 2004)

   The Donnas turns softer and mature on their sixth studio album but anyway, there's nothing to be afraid of cause these babes still know how to presenting The Best Medals to the die-hard fans out there. Packing with more melodic fragrance and AOR to punk-pop riffs with the mix of daily life lyrics and more reasonable solutions to be concluded in this almost perfect record that keeps on rocking.

Don't Break Me Down, Fall Behind Me, It Takes One to Know One and Is that All You've got for me may sounding too tamed but proffesionally, Donna R surely keeping her "Glamour-rock" spirit's riffs way up higher as well as her three cohorts do to and yes, she's sounded better than ever on this one !

   Thanks to Butch Walker to making sure that these girls didn't have to lose their rock-essence even though this might be followed by more mainstream fans attentions which is a very good way to promote your (once) suburb garage band to a wider massive crowds with or without teenage angst cuties and too much red lipstick.
