User Reviews
“Before Nirvana, before Godsmack, before Alanis, before anybody considered alternative nowadays, there was Christina Amphlett and the Divinyls, period. This album was made in 1984, when many of todays "alternative” band members were still in diapers. It is also one of the rare albums, you can play front to back without skipping any songs." Thomas R. Carley Jr.
“What A Life is, in my opinion, the best of The Divinyls releases. Much better than their breakthrough self titled 1991 effort. Christina Amphlett's angry and demonic voice blazes through this disc like a bat out of hell. From her schoolgirl confessions on "In My Life” to her pleadings with an abusive lover in “Pleasure And Pain”, her vocals are downright saucy. At her best, she sounds like an angel with hell scorched wings on the haunting “Dear Diary”. To put it plainly, there is NO voice today like Christina Amphlett's." PooBoo4u
