The Donnas kick things off with "Take It Off," a flirty and ferocious ode to boy watching, a mood that Liz Phair furthers with her punchy "Take a Look." A few of the better-known tracks on Book of Shadows appear here in revamped form, from the simmering, sensual revamp of Ashlee Simpson's "Pieces of Me" (remixed by David Garcia) to the ether infusion that longtime Beastie Boys collaborator Dan the Automator lends to Sarah McLachlan's "Fallen." Some of the disc's most intriguing music, however, comes from its lesser-known names -- notably Shivaree's slinky, jazz-tinged "I Close My Eyes." The phrase may not get tossed around as often as it used to, but you'd be hard pressed to find a better manifestation of girl power.
