This is the best place to start your initiation to the band. Imagine taking Joan Jett & The Runaways, The Ramones, New York Dolls and little of Ace Frehley's guitar, throw 'em all in a blender and...presto...you've got a slight idea of the Donnas sound. Buy this cd and every one of their subsequent albums. My advise is to stay clear of their self-titled debut unless you've got some extra cash to burn. But this review is about "A.T.R 'N' R. Machine" I second all the wonderfull things said on previous reviews with a few exceptions: 1. Most people who drive Jeeps (with non-removeable roofs) are weenies. Especially if he's sportin' the way out of style goatie beard or she's got her hair pulled thru the back of a baseball cap. 2. The Donnas have become "slight" media pimps doing ads for Target. But hey if they get some extra dollars, more power to them. 3. Save them fancy, big city words like "pathos" for reviews of the works of Plato or Aristotle...they don't belong when descibing great rock 'n' roll. Period!
