The Lawrence Arms are basically a reconstituted version of mid-'90s Chicago pop-punks the Broadways, whose singer/songwriters Brendan Kelly and Chris McCaughan serve the same function here, backed by drummer Nick Hennessy. Unlike the Broadways, where Kelly and McCaughan shared vocal duties about evenly, Kelly takes the lion's share of the lead vocals on A Guided Tour of Chicago, spitting out his politically tinged lyrics in a harsh, sore-throat bark. Similarly, the Undertones-like melodic pop-punk of Broadways albums like Broken Star is here flattened into a more one-dimensional blast of speed and fury. The sharp, cogent lyrics of songs like "Someday We're All Gonna Weigh 400 Lbs." and the Chicago-specific "The North Side, the L&L and Any Number of Crappy Apartments" struggle against the monochromatic blur of melodies and riffs that don't change enough from song to song to keep A Guided Tour of Chicago from sounding like the band's just circling the block. ~ Stewart Mason

Guided Tour Of Chicago songs
 $15.09    (MP3 Available for Download)
Duane Allman's greatness was apparent on his recordings with the Allman Brothers, yet there was another side to the superb guitarist. For many years, he was a highly respected session musician, playing on cuts by Wilson Pickett, Aretha Franklin, King Curtis, Boz Scaggs, Delaney & Bonnie, and Clarence Carter, among others. By including those session cuts, as well as a sampling of his brief sojourn in Eric Clapton's Derek and the Dominoes and a few rare solo tracks, along with a number of representative Allman Brothers songs, the double-album Anthology winds up drawing a complete portrait of Allman. He may have recorded plenty of other material worth hearing, but this has the bare essentials for an excellent introduction and retrospective.~ Stephen ...

| | Lawrence Arms Apathy And Exhaustion CD (2002)
Guided Tour Of Chicago MP3 Album
$6.69 (MP3 Available for Download)
Modern life is no picnic, and life on the road for a young band is oftentimes frustrating, tiring, and tiresome, brightened only by the occasional moments of glory and glee. So after a year of uninterrupted touring, it's no wonder that the Lawrence Arms felt little more than Apathy and Exhaustion. And why Fat Wreck Chords immediately signed the band and sent it straight into the studio, for Fat head Fat Mike has enough road experience to know that a band on the edge is sure to knock out a record of raw emotion and edgy exuberance bordering on total nihilism. Beyond the band's revved-up emotional state and got-my-second-wind exhilaration, the ...

| | Aberdeen What Do I Wish For Now? CD (2006)
Guided Tour Of Chicago songs
$13.59 (MP3 Available for Download)
Before Belle & Sebastian became the poster children for all things twee, there was Aberdeen. Fronted by high school sweethearts John Girgus (guitar) and Beth Arzy (vocals/bass), and a rotating cast of musicians (and a drum machine), Aberdeen issued a handful of singles and EPs for seminal U.K. imprint Sarah Records. But with the demise of Sarah in 1995, Aberdeen broke up, and they would do it one more time before ultimately calling it quits in late 2005. Creative and personal strains within the band during those early days didn't help matters either, but what's left is the blissful pop of songs like "I Think I'm Falling," "Super Sunny Summer," and "Miss You Now You're Gone." What Aberdeen did was much more than twee. What Do I Wish for Now?: Singles & Extras 1994-2004 is a representative look at how the California band succeeded ...
