The Lemonheads "The Lemonheads"


It’s been a long ten years since The Lemonheads last CD “Car Button Cloth” – and fortunately Evan Dando brings the old sound back. With Bill Stevenson on drums and Karl Alvarez on bass – the Lemonheads manage to keep their old melodic rock sound intact and if you close your eyes it’s 1997 all over again. The songs are about equal quality to thier last album – but it doesn’t come close to the classic “It’s a shame about Ray.” On the song “No Backbone,” Dando sings “It’s become routine…” and the album sounds a bit routine to me. This will CD will definitely please the Lemonhead fans – but it won’t convert anyone else. The song “Pittsburgh” is my fave here – it’s got that great jangle and heavy drum beat.
