On the journey Liz Phair took from being the coolest indie female singer on the planet on her magnificent Exile In Guyville to her career crippling reinvention as a pop singer on her 2005 self-titled album (which one critic called Exile In Avril-Ville), she made a notable stop here with whitechocolatespaceegg. Moving away from the themes of sex and relationships that had dominated Exile and her second album, Whip-Smart, Phair’s third album was a much more mature affair. She had turned 30, had married and was now a mother, which are the main themes of this record. Good for you, Liz. Unfortunately, that doesn’t translate to a great album for the rest of us. Liz Phair was once that dangerous hot girl you wanted to lay, but you were afraid she might burn your house down in the process…
…But now, she’d marry you, have your kids, and be pretty predictable. The thing about Exile era Liz Phair was that she could snarl pieces like “Fuck And Run” and “Divorce Song” with such glee and energy that you only wanted to hear more. On Whip-Smart, she started to lose the songwriting…and on this album it was the energy that was fading to black. There’s just enough here to keep it from falling apart…”What Makes You Happy”, for example…but for the most part, this is not much more than the continuation of the descent of Liz Phair into the “she was once so cool” file. And after this album, it was further downhill. Still, there is enough worthy material on whitechocolatespageegg to keep it from being a complete failure, but this is, only two albums later, a far cry from the heights that she once travelled.
