From Kim Ruehl, About.com

One of DiFranco's best efforts ever, Up Up Up Up Up Up features the excellent Ani DiFranco Band and well-written songs like "Tis of Thee" and "Trickle Down."

For some reason, I always think of this as the Buffalo album, probably because it came out while I was living there. There are a lot of great songs on this record, and it's in my personal top three CDs from Ani DiFranco's catalog. "Jukebox" features some really great basslines from Jason Mercer and "Angry Anymore" is a great banjo-driven folk tune answering the years of "angry girl" ascertions DiFranco had received from the press.

"Trickle Down" would, of course, be the Buffalo song from the Buffalo album. "Hat Shaped Hat" still makes no sense to me, but still gets stuck in my head for days, and "Up Up Up Up Up Up" is not only a slightly cheekily obnoxious song title, but it's also a very thoughtful tribute to friendship and other things that matter.
