This pressing is on orange / black splatter vinyl, with lyrics provided on a printed inner sleeve, packaged in hand-numbered outer sleeve; limited to 1,500 copies for UK/EU “Punk’s Not Dead! The Marvellous Return of Evan Dando.
The Lemonheads is a moody, giddy, charming album, as ragged and dynamic as those the band were making half a lifetime ago. It’s a small miracle that Evan Dando is still alive. It’s a slightly bigger one that he can still fend off maturity with such ruffled, wide-eyed panache” Uncut (Oct ’06) “Dando has revived the Lemonheads moniker and signed up drummer Bill Stevenson and bassist Karl Alvarez, both veterans of Eighties American punk-rockers The Descendents. The result is a more focused, less varied sound, and none the worse for that. Tight and passionate, “Pittsburgh” could be by an American version of The Jam, while “Become The Enemy” could have been written at any time in the past 20 years, its catchy indie-pop setting providing a stable footing for Dando’s account of a collapsing relationship.” The Independent (Sept, ’06)
