Fun and entertaining. I preferred the first volume though. I felt like there was less of a plot to this one, and things didn't really pick up until the second half. Some of the music element was lost and I wasn't as interested in the characters this time, but I still enjoyed it.

 This volume had some mixed reviews which made me a bit nervous to read it but it was so good! I just love all of these girls. They are all so adorable and wonderful. The relationships are super cute and the plot while ridiculous is fantastic. I love how ridiculous the fight club vinyl store y2k plot is. It makes it fun and interesting to follow. This leaves it open ended so I am definitely on board if they ever continue with these characters. It’s gay and cute. I’m obsessed now.

Cute and a lot of fun! You can't beat a bunch of girl rockers who also secretly fight crime.

Really fun and entertaining but, to be honest, I wasn't totally invested in the plot. Don't get me wrong, I love the characters and the art is so colorful and absolutely gorgeous but the story just wasn't as good as it was in the first volume.

one of the girls calling D acid burn and then her saying "I'm more of a trinity" made me so happy i definitely also now need to watch hackers and the matrix edit: HOW COULD I FORGET ABT EMPIRE RECORDS

These Heavy Vinyl volumes are so cute and sweet, quite a cozy femme and queer world in throwback late 90s. It's lovely. Please make more.

The art is still really cute but the time jump? And the storytelling is very clumsy.
