Band: The Lemonheads Title: Creator Rating:  Release Date: 1993-05-25 Media: Audio CD Tracks: 1: Burying Ground 2: Sunday 3: Clang Bang Clang 4: Out 5: Your Home Is Where Your Happy 6: Falling 7: Die Right Now 8: Two Weeks in Another Town 9: Plaster Caster 10: Come to the Window 11: Take Her Down 12: Postcard 13: Live Without 14: Luka [Live][*] 15: Interview With Lemonheads [*] 16: Mallo Cup [Live][*] |
But their reasons are wrong: Creator is the effort that is sorely lacking. Other reviewers are correct: there is no comparison between this and later Lemonheads' albums such as IASAR. Merely OK even for a couple of youngsters, production quality is not so good, as the vocals are not clear on some tracks, and that is a shame because Evan Dando's voice reminds me of Elvis Costello. Furthermore the bass playing cannot hold a candle to Juliana Hatfield's on IASAR. Most of these songs were written by Ben Deily and they just don't hold a candle to Dando's later work. Comparisons of Deily-Dando to other song writing duos are ludicrous; Dando can be reasonably compared to Paul McCartney especially in terms of "pop sensibility" but Deily is NO John Lennon. This is of historical interest only, unlike some other band's overlooked early works, such as Green Day's Kerplunk which is indisputably excellent.
Sometimes the cliches are true
If that's the sort of thing you go for (like me), you'll love it. This album has been described as early Husker Du meets REM and that's a perfect description of it. On the other hand, if you don't, I have absolutely no idea how you'll take this.
Great album
This is back in the days when Lemonheads were a bit more Husker Du than R. This is a great album. E. M. It's catchy hardcore punk with a fair dose of melody thrown in. The soft songs are good too. Your Home is where your happy has to be my personal favourite here. This is one overlooked 80's album, good stuff.
DANDO & DEILY...DYNAMIC DUO
Starting with the very first
song, you'll hear ALL their influences, from Black Sabbath, the
Psychedelic Furs, Kiss, the Replacements. THE best album released that year. . . hell, Ben Deily's
guitar bridge in the middle of "Come to the Window" will remind
of early Hot Tuna. At this stage (and with this "once in a
lfetime" line-up) the 'Heads were an unstoppable, untouchable
supergroup. After Ben Deily's departure and Evan Dando's descent into the "abyss", they were never the same. Just think
kids-Dando/Deily up there, along side, hmmm. . . let's say. . .
Jagger/Richards. . . Lennon/McCartney. . . Mould/Hart. Who Knows?
Forget the haphazardness of "Lick" or the rawness of "Hate
Your Friends", on this disc this is one MAJOR force to be
reckoned with.
Charlie's Song
The Beach Boys messed up his song "Cease To Exist" and Guns-N-Roses ought to be shot for stealing Charlie's song royalties. I think the Lemonheads did by far the best version Charlie's song "Home Is Where You're Happy" that I have heard so far by any band. They were a great band in their time but not only did they do a real [bad] version of Charlie's song but they gave the profits to someone Charlie NEVER killed. To me that is not justice. That is a royalty shame.
