The Beauty Process: Triple Platinum is the fifth studio album by American rock band L7, released on February 25, 1997 by Slash Records in collaboration with Reprise Records. The band recorded most of the album as a trio formed by founding members Donita Sparks and Suzi Gardner, and longtime drummer Demetra Plakas, following the departure of bassist Jennifer Finch. The album marks a departure from the tough rock style of its predecessors to a slower and more adventorous style. The album received generally favorable reviews from critics, who praised its attitude-filled lyrics and more liberating style compared to previous L7 albums.

Even in retrospect, it's hard to tell whether "Pretend We're Dead," L7's signature tune from 1992's Brichs Are Heavy, was a blast from the past or a grenade set to detonate in some hazy future. Polished but powerful, the song had as much to do with leaden mid-'80s gal rockers like Joan Jett as it did with punk's exhilarating assault on the mainstream.

But let's not forget that when Bad Religion's Brett Gurewitz decided to turn his band's Epitaph Records into a real label, in 1988, one of the first acts he signed was L7. Then Sub Pop released a single and EP by L7 back in 1990, a solid two years before punk "broke." These tastemakers understood early on that in the unfolding punk universe, women would just as likely rule as men. As the band asked on 1994's Hungry for Stink, "How many times must you be told/There's no place that we don't go?"

On their fifth album, L7 finally usurp punk's throne – The Beauty Process: Triple Platinum is the first time the band seems in perfect sync with the times. Although a key member, bassist Jennifer Finch, has left the band (and been replaced by Gail Greenwood, formerly of Belly), L7 sound bigger and brawnier here, yet somehow crisper and more distinctive than ever before.

Guitarists Donita Sparks and Suzi Gardner, both of whom write and sing, have matured into punk's distaff Jagger and Richards. The syrupy-voiced Sparks plays the sly but smooth interloper on an inky-dark almost-ballad called "Moonshine"; elsewhere, the saltier Gardner growls through a wickedly brutal "The Masses Are Asses." The two of them pull together a unified sound, firmly anchored by drummer Dee Plakas, equally influenced by the knowing swagger of the early Stooges and the '50s girl groups from whom L7 are constantly borrowing backup-vocal phrasings.

Only op "Lorenza, Giada, Allesandra," an uninventive rip-off of Sonic Youth's "Swimsuit Issue," does The Beauty Process disappoint. It's a minor lapse, considering that L7 pack more fresh stylistic variations on classic punk into 40 minutes than most bands come up with during a career. Clever, cocky and ultimately ageless, The Beauty Process gives punk the face lift it deserves without smoothing the wrinkles.

Review by Alec Foege, RollingStone (RS 755)

Jennifer Finch left L7 after the completion of The Beauty Process: Triple Platinum, which is appropriate – the album feels like the end of an era. L7 still have enough attitude to make them underground rockers, but they continue to move closer to heavy metal/biker territory with each record. The Beauty Process has a bigger, harder kick than Hungry for Stink, and it also has its fair share of hooks – they just don't play them for pop effect as they did on Bricks Are Heavy. Which means that The Beauty Process will appeal to old-time fans and fans of Motörhead and AC/DC. In other words, it's a good hard rock record, but it'll make some fans yearn for the days when L7 appeared revolutionary, not just keepers of the flame.
