MOG Editorial Review

L7 released their third album, Bricks Are Heavy, at a pivotal point when grunge had broken into the mainstream thanks to Nirvana. “Pretend We’re Dead” has enough apathetic attitude and fuzzed-out guitars that it helped push L7 into the spotlight as female counterparts to the sound that originated in Seattle. Butch Vig’s production certainly got the best songwriting out of the Los Angeles band, as they never managed to come close to matching their frustrations with such sludgy but streamlined riffs. Within the 11 tracks, L7 successfully sounds off on sexism (“Diet Pill”), war (“Wargasm”), and rednecks (“Everglade”), all while maintaining a perfect balance of nasty power chords and hook-heavy anthems.
AMG Review of Bricks Are Heavy

Though they hailed from sunny L.A., L7 became the poster girls for grunge in 1992, with the meteoric success of their third album, Bricks Are Heavy. While their previous efforts had sounded sloppy and uneven, Nevermind producer Butch Vig helped the girls obtain a tight, compact sound on Bricks, pushing them to focus on their songwriting to boot. After all, great albums need great songs, and that's exactly what you have here. Mosh-pit anthem "Everglade" (sung by bassist Jennifer Finch) will simply knock you on your ass, and big single "Pretend We're Dead" is so good that its tough swagger harks back to seminal bad girl anthems like Joan Jett's "I Love Rock'n'Roll," Pat Benatar's "Hit Me With Your Best Shot," and even the Go-Go's -- well, maybe not the Go-Go's. The sardonic "Diet Pill" tackles female compulsions with clever irony, and even when they let their mega-riffing take over on such full-throttle stomps as "Wargasm," "Mr. Integrity," and "Shitlist," L7 still manage to imbue their lyrics with humor and substance. Inevitably, a few songs (especially "Slide") tend to push the Nirvana envelope just a tad, but Vig's involvement aside, these four ladies had been doing this kind of thing for as long as the Seattle trio. L7's crowning achievement, Bricks Are Heavy sadly proved to be an impossible act to follow, and the band gradually faded into obscurity thereafter.
