Review

Spin (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."

Title Note

The Lemonheads: Evan Dando (vocals, guitar); Karl Alvarez (bass guitar); Bill Stevenson (drums).

Additional personnel: J Mascis (guitar); Garth Hudson (keyboards); Josh Lattanzi (bass guitar); Gibson Haynes (sound effects); Spot (unknown instrument).

Recording information: The Blasting Room, Fort Collins, Colorado (2006).

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."
