This eponymous set is Lit's fourth, and their most self-assured to date. After a three-year hiatus, during which they ended their relationship with RCA, the bandmembers are obviously raring to go; their self-confidence is evidenced by their decision to produce this album themselves, and they deftly emphasize their full-bodied styling while giving plenty of play to the strong melodies that set this set alight. They're even willing to hand over the crucial guitar solo on "Needle & Thread" to the Matches' Jon Devoto, who repays them with a searing performance. As listeners have come to expect of Lit, the album has a mighty sweep of mood and style, from the sweet acoustic jangle of "Lullaby," written by Jeremy Popoff for his son, to the storming '70s sound of "Too Fast for a U-Turn." The band continues to effortlessly meld together rock's many elements -- the speedy So-Cal punk heard on "Allright," the pop flavors of Elvis Costello (and by extension the Beatles) found in "Forever Begins Right Now," and the lush and lovely atmospheres of post-punk heroes the Cure via a cover of that band's "Pictures of You." Lit's continuing love affair with the sounds of the past make nonsense of the tag "modern rock," for it's their weaving together of a myriad of different yesterdays into a glorious sound for today that makes the band so special. This album does, however, feature some darker themes than previously heard, but even one of the blackest, "Bulletproof," written about a friend's suicide, shakes off the sorrow to end in an affirmation of life that simultaneously pays tribute to Cheap Trick. Back with a vengeance, this is Lit's best album to date. ~ Jo-Ann Greene
Taking into account the tattoos, nose rings, and spiky haircuts, one might be forgiven for instantly pegging Lit as a punk-pop band no different from a dozen other Orange County, California combos. One listen to the group's recordings, however, reveals what Lit fans have always known--the band creates some of the most diverse and well-crafted music of its genre. On the group's self-titled fourth album, Lit's trademark Cheap Trick-esque power-pop is very much in evidence, but the sound is fleshed out with echoes of Kiss, Billy Squier, Foghat, and a host of other 1970s and '80s arena rockers. Standout tracks include "Lullaby," a Dashboard Confessional-like life-on-the-road weeper, and "Forever Begins Right Now," a bouncy British Invasion-style rave-up.

5 stars Awesome Return for Lit
This album is great. Very Lit like and every song is extremely well written and performed. The whole album has a very personal feel to it because the lyrics are obviously about life. In my very biased opinion (I am a huge Lit fan and will always love them) everyone should get this album because it is wonderful and showcases the incredible talent these 4 guys have. It is an awesome return for Lit after a few years off and the whole thing just rocks. Get LIT, you will not be disappointed.

5 stars One of the year's best
Instantly catchy, melodic rock album that you'll listen to over and over again. Lit never gets the respect they so earnestly deserve as a great straightforward rock band. "Needle and Thread", "Moonshine", and "Looks Like They Were Right" are all very catchy, radio-friendly tracks that also subtly display that the band can rock out too. But the definite highlight is the outstanding, faithful cover of the Cure's brilliant "Pictures of You". This might just be the greatest cover song ever recorded, a perfect fit for A. Jay's singing style and Jeremy and Kevin's adept proficiency on bass and guitar. I've heard that Kevin didn't actually play on the album but the bass lines stand out on many tracks. I played this CD at a party and I had several people ask me about who it was, that it sounds great. These guys are awesome crafters of catchy party rock and double-entendre filled, toe-tapping, air-guitaring modern rock.

5 stars Best Lit cd yet!
Lit is one of my favorite bands and they never disappoint! Their new self titled cd just came out and it's AMAZING! Forever Begins Right Now is my favorite song on the cd, but Times Like This is in close 2nd. If I had never heard the song Pictures of You before, I'd think it was their own song and not a cover! They did such a good job on that cover that they made it their own! Everyone needs to own this cd, as well as all of Lit's past cd's.

5 stars A nice gift from the band...
The album kicks off with heavy guitar work from Jeremy's six strings, soon joined by the rest of the band, including tuff vocals from A. Jay that remind die-hard Lit fans of the underground club style heard on Tripping the light fantastic. The album then rolls into the first single, Looks Like They Were Right. This is a classic, catchy Poppish-rock tune we expect from the boys. Perfect choice for a lead single. But this album, like every Lit album, stands on it's own. After much label drama, the band took their music back home to Orange County, and it shows. No over-producing on this album. This album contains some of Lit's greatest songwriting to date. From Lullaby, the touching song written for Jeremy's son, to Bulletproof, which touches down on suicide. The album is great. Lit has evolved musically as a band and this record proves it. It's what the Lit fans need, what the music scene in general has needed, good ol' rock'n roll.

5 stars New album: same amazing band
It's been almost 3 years since Lit's release of Atomic making this self-titled effort highly anticipated. Lit once again does not disappoint. It's simply marvelous how down to earth this record is - so simple yet driven. It is no more or no less "Lit" than any other record, but they never repeat themselves. They have matured on this album, with more serious and personal lyrics rather than witty, satirical ones they are known for, but they do not lose one ounce of their loved sound. For fans of Lit, new and old, I highly recommend this album. Start to finish it is an experience.

Catalyst doesn't quite graduate New Found Glory from the punk-pop rungs. From its main aesthetic thrust to the pristine mixing and production, this is a slick and durable Drive-Thru missive, micro-tweaked for maximum Warped Tour ROI. Still, the guys in NFG have been at this a while, so a little exploration is not only understandable, it's expected. To that end, Catalyst's East Coast hardcore kickoff is welcome.

Andrew Bird Weather Systems CD  (2003)

Lit
CD $11.49  Audio Samples
Personnel: Andrew Bird (vocals, violin); Nora O'Connor (vocals, guitar); Mark Nevers (guitar); Kevin O'Donnell (drums, percussion, glockenspiel).
Recorded at Bird Machine Studio, Chicago, Illinois.
This is an Enhanced CD, which contains both regular audio tracks and multimedia computer files.
With 2003's WEATHER SYSTEMS, indie-pop singer/multi-instrumentalist Andrew Bird extinguishes his Bowl of Fire ensemble, and opts to carry on as a solo artist. The resulting collection is fittingly pared down, with the record's spare, subdued songs drawing greater attention to Bird's melancholy vocals and delicate violin work (see the drifting "Lull" and the dreamy "Action/Adventure"). With Bird aided by former Bowl of Fire members Nora O'Connor (vocals, guitar) and Kevin O'Donnell (drums), WEATHER SYSTEMS is not a complete departure from the BOF era, but it marks a new phase of the Chicago performer's impressive career, and readily stands out as one of his finest albums.
With Weather Systems, violin virtuoso Andrew Bird took another conscious step to broaden his career when he moved out of Chicago to a farm in northwest Illinois, renovated the barn into a recording studio, and left the Rykodisc label for the small indie Grimsey (the album was later licensed to Ani DiFranco's Righteous Babe label) to create his most distinct recording to date. Only two of the Bowl of Fire members lend their abilities here (hence the billing of the record as a solo venture): longtime comrade Kevin O'Donnell, with his fluid and melodic drumming, adds to much of the recording, as does vocalist/guitarist Nora O'Connor, whose voice sounds like it was made to duet with Bird's. Contributions by Lambchop collaborator Mark Nevers on minimal guitar and production round out the cast on this moody and transfixing effort. The violin is the most prominent component by far; layer upon layer create beautifully complex string sections and saturate the soundscapes behind Bird's eloquent lyricism. This is nothing new, as evidenced on his astonishing predecessor, The Swimming Hour, but his approach to the instrument -- a great deal of pizzicato, strumming, and liberal use of effects -- suggests that Bird prepared not only for a unique advance on his songwriting, but also how he would pull off these songs in a live solo setting, which was partially documented on his live EP of 2002, Fingerlings. An excellent display of this layering approach is the truly progressive title track -- one of the greatest moments in Bird's career. The entire track is assembled solely with multi-tracked violins fluttering in and out, one fingerpicked almost like a banjo roll, and at the three-and-three-quarters-minute mark, an octave pedal is applied to the pizzicato ...

Liner Note Author: Kieron Tyler.
Perhaps the most utopian aspect of the U.K. punk scene was that it offered creative, articulate young people the opportunity to express themselves, and to kick up an exuberantly noisy racket in the process. X-Ray Spex certainly came from this wing of the movement, the brainchild of two female schoolmates who re-christened themselves Poly Styrene and Lora Logic. X-Ray Spex was far from the only female-centered British punk act, but they were arguably the best, combining exuberant energy with a cohesive worldview courtesy of singer and songwriter Poly Styrene. As her nom de punk hinted, Styrene was obsessed with the artificiality she saw permeating Britain's consumer society, linking synthetic goods with a sort of processed, manufactured humanity. Styrene's frantic claustrophobia permeates the record, as she rails in her distinctively quavering yowl against the alienation she feels preventing her from discovering her true self. Germ Free Adolescents is tied together by Styrene's yearning to be free not only from demands for consumption, but from the insecurity corporate advertisers used to exploit their targets (especially in women) -- in other words, to enjoy being real, imperfect, non-sterile humans living in a real, imperfect, non-Day-Glo world. Fortunately, the record is just as effective musically as it is conceptually. It's full of kick-out-the-jams rockers, with a few up-tempo thrashers and surprisingly atmospheric pieces mixed in; the raw, wailing saxophone of Rudi Thomson (who replaced Lora Logic early on) gives the band its true sonic signature. ...
