Soda Pop * Rip Off is the debut album by American punk rock band Slant 6. [2] It was released in 1994 by Dischord. [6]
AllMusic rated the album favorably, although it noted that it "works almost like a retrospective of a period in the band's career." [3] Trouser Press wrote that "the combo delivers succinct but clunky punk rock highlighted by unexpectedly strong pop hooks and occasionally odd instrumental angularities." [7] The Encyclopedia of Popular Music praised Slant 6's ability to "tackle topical subjects from unexpected angles." [5] The Chicago Reader wrote that "as with early Wire, Slant 6 avoid any sort of excess, saying their bit and moving on." [8]
Reviewing the 2014 reissue, the Washington City Paper wrote: "Though her voice was occasionally hidden behind distorted guitars and nasal delivery, [Christina] Billotte was still a better singer than many of her ‘90s contemporaries, a fact that’s perhaps more evident on the remaster." [9] Including Soda Pop * Rip Off on its list of essential riot grrrl albums, Rolling Stone wrote that the band "held up the capital city’s end with grooves like 'Time Expired,' goofing on Nuggets-style Sixties garage rock but with a sense of menace." [10] Pitchfork called it "an enduring model of punk rock poise." [11] Evelyn McDonnell and Elisabeth Vincentelli, writing for the New York Times in 2019, considered Soda Pop-Rip Off "arguably the best album of the riot grrrl era." [12]
