Nemesisters, the third and last studio album from Babes in Toyland, came out on Reprise in May 1995, and this time the Minneapolis trio played it live in the room. Tim Mac produced and engineered at AmRep Studios in their hometown, over two separate sessions, and unlike on Fontanelle, where Maureen Herman had laid her bass down on her own, she, Kat Bjelland and Lori Barbero tracked together. Some of the songs had been written on the road in Europe.
It still bruises: Bjelland's shriek, guitars like rusty saws, Barbero battering the kit. But Entertainment Weekly's Tom Sinclair heard the rage easing off a notch, enough that "Sweet 69" edges toward power pop, and the record signs off with a cover of a Sister Sledge song. By 1997 the band had gone quiet, and in 2001 they called it quits.
