5.0 out of 5 stars Great album, May 15, 2004

By	Reza "Biscuitsforsmut" (Lancaster, England) - See all my reviews

This is a great album. This is back in the days when Lemonheads were a bit more Husker Du than R.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

5.0 out of 5 stars DANDO & DEILY...DYNAMIC DUO, February 25, 2004

By	Thomas A. Corpino (Hartsdale, New York United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

THE best album released that year. Starting with the very first
song, you'll hear ALL their influences, from Black Sabbath, the
Psychedelic Furs, Kiss, the Replacements...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.

4.0 out of 5 stars The Lemonheads' Strongest Work?, September 21, 2000

By A Customer

I completely disagree with the other reviewers. I've always felt that the Lemonheads died when Ben Deily left, and this album showcases some of his strongest songs ("7 Powers" on Lick notwithstanding). Evan Dando has always seemed too contrived, too eager to offend, to be anything more than a novelty. Deily, on the other hand, had the goods: he could write songs as heavy and image-laden as "Burying Ground" (which seems to draw heavily upon Black Sabbath, not to mention W.B. Yeats) as well as nostalgic acoustic numbers like "Postcard," which, to me, ranks right up there with "Unsatisfied." Granted, everyone and their brother will tell you "Hate Your Friends" is a better record, and maybe it is. All I know is Deily's songwriting really progressed (musically at least) from "Friends" to "Creator." While still able to churn out amazingly literate lyrics, Deily successfully moved past the standard three-chord punk songs he sang on "Friends." Witness "Live Without" and "Falling" if you don't believe me. And that, friends, should be enough to warrant a closer look.
