I love this record. It's melodies are bold and individual. I think the lyrics are bravely artistic. The album is overall cleverly abstract in its artistic air. I think that if it can be put down, it is in whist being cleanly finished, it is slightly patchy if you are not attuned to it. I kinda consider it recreational music. I would not listen to it all the time but when I do it's like it never left and I feel at home- away from home. The title track is fantastic, so dreamy, beautiful. It is one of those songs that you may long for even when it's playing, strongly followed by Rudderless which is a powerful song - one to yell along with.. 'Waiting for something to-break, Left my heart out to bake, It slipped my mind that I could use my brain..' I respect Evan Dando as an artist because he doesn't seem vain. It's a sign of integrity in this music that he carries such a strong sense of individualism. Not for that, we would not hear such upbeat sounds amidst the meloncollie air. A very worthwhile album that would stand the test of time in most people's collections who have their own taste. Would suit such different people but those who have a deeper love for music will gain the most.Read full review
I love this record, have done since the first listen. Rhythm driven accoustic pop songs in a nutshell. Each track 2-3 mins in length, none last too long. Evan Dando's compelling vocals and heart felt lyrics make this a rare album in that it is triumphant if you're feeling happy, yet sympathetically upbeat if you're thoroughly p****d off. Ok, it may have all been about the Mrs Robinson single at the time(added on later editions of CD), but you've got to see well past that to discover the real gems of Alison's Starting to Happen, Rudderless and The Turnpike Down. When i get to the end (which doesn't take long), it normally goes on again. Pop as it should be....Don't miss out
Fantastic mellow and meaningful early album from the beautiful Evan Dando and the Lemonheads. A classic!
