Disco de Kittie: “Safe [EP] [PA]”

Mmmkay! Well here we have the "Safe EP" by the excellent band Kittie.

I'll do a song breakdown review thingy.

"Safe [KMFDM Inc. Remix]" - Okay so this remix isn't BAD but it's not GOOD. It's VERY industrial and it's very...Electronic. No instruments or anything, just computerised really. I can't say anything negative about this remix, but nothing positive either. 6/10

"Safe [Radio Edit]" - Exactly the same as the album version except it features a sudden ending instead of the breakdown featured on "Oracle". They cut about 20 seconds off the song and that's literally it. Because of the lack of creativity with the radio edit and it's pretty much the same on the "Oracle" album, I'm giving it the same rating as on "Oracle"... 6/10

"No Name [Live]" - This is a good recording. Morgan's growling is very good. This is more hardcore than on the album! 8/10

"Severed [Live]" - This is by FAR my favourite live track featured on this CD! Morgan's growling is awesome! I LOVE THIS LIVE TRACK! 10/10

"What I Always Wanted [Live]" - Okay from this song forward the CD goes completely downhill. This is probably my favourite song off "Oracle", but here Jennifer is singing and Jeff is growling with Morgan doing back up growling. To be honest, this live track is disgusting. Jennifer makes horrible noises when attempting to sing, and another reviewer described it quite well when (s)he said she sounds like she's trying to give birth to a dolphin out of her nose! This live track makes me sick. Jennifer should keep her mouth shut if that's the standard of singing voice she's capable of. Now with Lisa in the band, I hope signing vocals will be done by her on tour. I've never heard Lisa sing, but I'm certain she's better. Oh, and Jennifer's bass on this song has MELODY?! She's playing the song how SHE wants it. Basically this song sounds nothing like the original on "Oracle" because of Jennifer. Jennifer cannot sing and she's not even capable of playing a 3-chord bass line without screwing it up. I don't even play bass and I can play that song! Oh Talena, where art thou? 4/10

"In Winter [Live]" - Jennifer opening her noisy mouth again. If she's not capable of creating tolerable sounds with her voice, they should have hired some singer thing or changed the songs slightly so Morgan could sing and growl. JENNIFER SHUT UP! AGAIN, where the hell is Talena?! In theory Morgan could have sang this song because there's barely any growling but NO they had to have Jennifer do it. 4/10

"Pain [Live]" - This song starts off VERY good until they get to the "you deserve nothing at all" part purely because Jennifer decides to make noises again. Seriously, if their live performances are going to be destroyed by Jennifer then I'm going to lose interest very quickly. She cannot sing. I'd give her credit for being a good bassist, because she is but she...changes songs to suit her.

As for the live videos on the CD. The live songs are "Mouthful of Poison", "Charlotte" and "Wolves"...They're good live tracks, but recorded with poor film. They're definitely watchable and I even burned mine to a VCD so I can watch them on my TV.

So basically, if you think you can tolerate Jennifer's singing then go for it...Buy this EP! I have warned you that she sounds terrible but hey if you think you're man enough for Jennifer's voice box!

I like this EP, but I tend to not listen to the last 3 tracks.

Kittie are my favourite band without a doubt I love them so much, so of course I'm going to buy all their CDs, but I don't find myself listening to this very often.

safe...kmfkdmf(or whatever the hell that bands name is)remix is awesome, even though all these people say it sucks. its better than the original cuz its got an actual beat and its kinda industralized with morgans voice which still sounds the same

-

then theres the original safe a little bit shorter, and boring as always, when i listen to this i miss the remix

-

as for the live tracks...thats what brought this cd down, the screaming made me laugh like it did on spit...and as for the singing, oh my god, that was worse...she sounded like she was trying to give birth to a dolphin out her nose

-

live footage...pretty ok but the live tracks werent that great so why should this be?

-

so basically, only for severe kittie fans that dont mind crappy music, with a really really great remix(despite what evveryone says), the remix is the only reason why i bought this in the first place any way...DONT LISTEN TO THEM ALL THE REMIX OF SAFE ROX A LOT

This is probaly their worst work so far.

- The "Safe" remix is very cool and i enjoy it. It's like industrial metal. They mixed it very well. I like it

- The "Safe" radio edit isn't any different from the album version, just this has a shorter ending. Still a very good track

- The live tracks. Well, let me start off by saying that Morgan's singing is what brought this CD down. Morgan's singing is HORRIBLE. It's very whiny and just plain awful. Her singing is really pretty on "Paperdoll EP"(and on all of the other CD's her singing sounds beautiful, but again she's in the studio)..i don't know what happend :(. I mean, i can sing better than Morgan on this CD. Other than the horrible singing, they sound quite good.

Overall, this is pretty good but could have been WAY better if the singing was better. (...)

I dont even like Kittie that much, just some of their stuff, but Safe is a good song. The only reason I bought it was because KMFDM remixed it. Save your money and buy a KMFDM cd instead. You'll like it better. Just d/l the one good song off of this album.

I think the best part of this album is that it has live performances, although is not a first for a Kittie album, is better than "paperdoll" just due to the fact that "oracle" has better songs than "Spit". This is a must for any Kittie fan and our collection just wouldn't be complete without it. The only downside to this album is the "Safe Remix" isn't really something that fits Kittie's style. but overall it's a good album and any Kittie fan would enjoy it.
