AMG Review of Safe

Brian O'Neill
All Music Guide

Kittie's Safe contains the title track in two forms, half a dozen live cuts from one concert, and an enhanced video of another three songs from a different show. The lead version of "Safe" is a remix that was done by KMFDM's Sascha, and the added electronica shows that the path between Black Sabbath and Joy Division is a lot straighter than some might surmise, yet it doesn't detract from the melancholic malaise of the Oracle original; in fact, it enhances it.
