Photographers: Bill Stevenson; Stacie Stevenson.
By calling his latest offering THE LEMONHEADS and claiming that "it sounds like the Lemonheads," Evan Dando seems to be responding to the criticisms that his last efforts have been uneven at best. Consistency is the aim here, and he achieves it with a collection that recalls the Lemonheads heyday: grunge-pop chord progressions, bursts of Dinosaur Jr.-lite guitar solos, and hooky melodies all delivered in Dando's lazy bedroom croon.
Bolstered by a line-up featuring bassist Karl Alvarez and drummer Bill Stevenson--both of Descendents fame--and with guest spots by J. Mascis, the songs energetically reimagine early-'90s alt-rock. None of them are as memorable as his best (like "My Drug Buddy" or the title track from IT'S A SHAME ABOUT RAY), but Dando's druggy charisma and flashes of wit can still carry the day. As he sings on "Pittsburgh," he is still "fading in and out of consciousness/with a little bit of common sense."
Many bands break up at the right time, or at least a little past it, but the Lemonheads' disbandment seemed premature, particularly because it didn't seem like they officially broke up; they just faded away. For Lemonheads leader Evan Dando, it was a surprisingly quick fall from glory -- or at least from being a Sassy star and one of People's Most Beautiful People, touted as the next big thing after Kurt Cobain, to being alt-rock's most notorious also-ran. Not long after the group's fourth album for Atlantic, 1996's Car Button Cloth, he quietly pulled the plug on the group and slinked away from the spotlight, taking a long, long time to recharge. After seven years, he resurfaced with a sleepy but likeable solo debut called Baby I'm Bored in 2003, and that activity apparently lit a fire underneath Dando, since three years later he reunited the Lemonheads, releasing an eponymous album that fall. The album only confirms the suspicion that the group should never have broken up -- unless that Dando needed the time to sober up and get refocused, since he certainly couldn't have made a record as tight and direct as this in the mid-'90s. Lord knows he tried, but for as wonderful as much of 1993'sCome on Feel the Lemonheads and Car Button Cloth are, both are ragged and filled with aimless filler, two things thankfully missing from The Lemonheads. Like the 1992 power pop classic It's a Shame About Ray, this is brief, lively, and tuneful, filled with two-to-three-minute songs that make their point and then get out of the way. If this isn't as incandescent, joyful, and effervescent as It's a Shame About Ray, that's because this is the work of a different band, one that's a bit older and not quite as exuberant, but one that nevertheless displays a renewed vigor and sense of purpose. And not only does the band sound excellent -- whether they're working as a trio or being goosed along by J Mascis, who provides typically excellent guitar on occasion here -- but they have a good batch of songs here that add up to Dando's most consistent album in years. They're zippier and catchier than anything on Baby I'm Bored, and even if there aren't any outright immediate classics along the lines of "If I Could Talk I'd Tell You," song for song this builds into not only a strong comeback, but one of the group's better records. The best thing that can be said about The Lemonheads is that it sounds like the album Dando and cSpin (p.102) - 3 stars out of 5 -- "Dando chooses maximum accessibility, offering agreeably chunky guitar pop..."
Uncut (p.100) - 4 stars out of 5 -- "THE LEMONHEADS is a moody, giddy, charming album, as ragged and dynamic as those the band were making half a lifetime ago."
Alternative Press (p.200) - "There's still something endearing about his confessions...especially when they're this catchy."
CMJ (p.39) - "[The album] gets by on charm, energy and his wonderfully lazy, caramel-coated voice, which has rarely sounded better."
Mojo (Publisher) (p.104) - 3 stars out of 5 -- "The Lemonheads have never sounded so feral yet so tight....Predictably peerless on the uptempo romps, the ensemble handles more reflective material with real tenderness too."

Average Rating: (5 out of 5 stars) 5 stars

5 stars Recapturing the Early Energy
I bought this with more than a little trepidation. Evan was a lot older and some of the recent albums like his peers were devoid of the piss & vinegar that made them so great to begin with. Not the case here. Great songwriting and loads of energy. Definitely as much fun as the early major-label Lemonheads albums. You will not be disappointed.

This project began in 2004 when Damon Albarn & Simon Tong travelled to Nigeria to record with Afrobeat pioneer Tony Allen. Much later, Albarn gave the tapes to producer Brian "Danger Mouse" Burton & his attitude changed, feeling like he would just write the songs but not sing. Danger Mouse helped gel the project and Albarn just wanted to write tales of West London. The final collaborator was Clash bassist Paul Simonon, whose presence changed the whole dynamic. The result is a record that traces a journey from the English music hall tradition ...

Recorded between November 1964 and June 1982. Includes liner notes by Matt Kent and Andy Neill.
Following in the footsteps not only of Universal's many Ultimate Collection, but also the Beatles 1 -- a groundbreaking collection in the sense that it proved that a collection that contains all the hits will actually sell on CD (thereby proving the cynical ploy of leaving hits off a compilation in order to sell catalog is flawed) -- the Who's 2002 compilation The Ultimate Collection attempts to collect all their hits, all their anthems in one place. It fits that bill very well, providing all the big items from "I Can't Explain" to "Emenince Front" as it spans two discs and 35 tracks. Sure, fans will find personal favorites missing, whether it's "A Quick ...

Photographer: Kelly Castro.
Ask anyone who was there in the halcyon days of Y2K what it was like, what it was really like, to live through the changing of the millennium, and they'll answer you this: you couldn't escape that damned "All Star" song. Anywhere you turned -- radio, TV, movies, movie trailers, advertisements, sports games -- all you heard was Smash Mouth's irrepressible ode to clueless losers, a self-empowerment anthem for the ignorant and entitled (really, it was a tune ahead of its time, since it easily could have been mood music for the Paris Hilton era). For a couple of years there, Smash Mouth seemed ubiquitous, though in retrospect they only had a few big hits: "All Star," its peerless predecessor "Walkin' on the Sun," "Then the Morning Comes," and "Diggin' Your Scene," plus covers of Let's Active's "Every Word Means No," the Four Seasons/Fun Boy Three's "Can't Get Enough of You Baby," and the Monkees' "I'm a Believer." That's more than most bands have, but doesn't quite explain why it seemed as if Smash Mouth were impossible to shake for a few years at the turn of the millennium. Then, a closer inspection of the liner notes to their first hits collection, All Star Smash Hits (well, what else was it going to be called?), reveals an answer. There are songs from the following movies and soundtracks on this comp: Mystery Men, Baseketball, Snow ...

Lemonheads songs

Hot guitar leads, slamming electronic drum solos, funky bass-lines and jazz sensibilities...The opening strains of Eye of the Pyramid will bring you into the groove of the title track of this third Cat's A Bear CD. Originally produced in 1989, the music on this disk is partly-sequenced, funk-based jazz. You begin your journey with Cat's A Bear's take on a conventional funk feel in Eye, followed by The Current Sea, a shuffle-like groove in 25:16 time. Bearskin Rug adds ten, and begins in 35:16 time, with solos in 9:4. All of this will leave you rhythmically ...
