Having reinvented the girl-punk wheel with Call the Doctor, Sleater-Kinney continues to expand the boundaries of the form with the stunning Dig Me Out. Leaner and more intricate than its predecessor, the record is remarkably confident and mature; instead of succumbing to the pressures of "next big thing" status, the trio finds vindication in all of their critical adulation — the vocals are even more ferocious, the melodies are even more infectious, and the ideals are even more passionate.
