I rarely get this excited about a CD, but I've been listening to the new Lemonheads album almost constantly. OK, I know.. Evan Dando. Forget what you think about him.. this is the most invigorating rock album I've heard in at least 10 years. Every song is great, and there's some excellent bass playing, mostly from Karl Alvarez of Descendents & ALL, also from a guy named Josh Lattanzi. Nothing flashy, just song-perfect parts that I wish I'd written. There's even some inspired bass from Dando on one song. Bill Stevenson from Descendents & ALL played drums, co-produced the album and wrote two of the songs. Between that and Karl playing bass, there's a definite ALL-esque feel throughout.
This CD will brighten your day and creep into your brain. Go get it, now.
