Old, New, Borrowed, Not Blue..., June 22, 2002
Old, new, borrowed, not blue. The best way to describe this album. The band borrowed from old three cord rock and gives it a new sound. They are loud and bodacious. But they have the right rythem and beat. On many songs they bring back flashes of Seventies and Eighties bands, like The Producers or Elvis Costello. Their music drives with an energy that sends your mind reeling. Even on a slow song like Happy in the Meantime, there is an energy that radiates like an atomic bomb. On tunes like Sunny Weather, you will hear a sound like the Beach Boys on Steroids. Slip, into a sweet and tender ballad and be carried on a tidal wave of desire to hear more from Lit. Over My Head is from the Titan AE soundtrack and show us what most people at the Grammys have forgotten. This is what music is all about. Atomic, aptly named. Get in into your ears and crank it up.

Atomic, April 2, 2002
I've listened to all of Lit's CDs, Tripping the Light Fantastic, A Place in the Sun, and Atomic. Although that all of they are great, this, by far, has to be the best. There is something for everyone on this CD.
A.Jay's awesome, frat-boy-like voice, Jeremy's incredible guitar skills, Kevin's intricate bass riffs, and Al's fast-paced drumming make for an incredible CD. "Addicted" seems to be the sequel to "Miserable," with A.Jay singing "I'm so addicted to you, and you're such a dick to me." Most of the lyrics are delivered with a nudge and a wink, and everything is tied together with clever, joking wordplay. In "Sunny Weather," A.Jay says, "I've got alot of good drugs, but I don't know how to use them, so I threw them in the trash, and now my dogs are high as hell." Most of their lyrics are funny. "Happy in the Meantime" is new experience for the band, because it's their only acoustic track ever. All in all, it's probably the best album out there. Get it, I guarantee that you won't regret it!
