Editorial Reviews

Just what is "Lemonade for Vampires"? A tart summer beverage brewed to ward off the undead? A magical transfusion that keeps aging punk rockers young? To date, the worldÕs greatest minds have failed to answer this question. In the meantime, here are a few things we do know about "Lemonade for Vampires": It is the title of GAS HUFFERÕs 7th album. It also represents the bandÕs first collaboration with producer Johnny Sangster, known for his work with Mudhoney, The Briefs, The Murder City Devils, The Fallouts, The Pulses, & many more of todayÕs popular combos. This recording is the effort of a musical group at the peak of its creative power

4.0 out of 5 stars my medula split open like a melon rind, August 5, 2007

these guys, oh these guys. honestly, i thought "rest of us" was a bit of a letdown. maybe not, but it just never really caught on w/ me. "lemonade," however, is a great note to go out on. this is one of their most consistent records; i can listen to it all the way through, unlike say, "just beautiful music," which is a bit spotty. one thing i've noticed here is that the guitar absolutely shreds, and i know that one of the myriad reasons the boys are hanging it up is that Tom has contracted parkinsons disease. i don't really think there's a standout track here, although if i were pressed i'd probably say "another wafer please"(is that an organ? right on!) or "kingdom of the sun." while i wouldn't start here, you won't be disappointed w/ "lemonade." for the record, my fave huffer records in order are:

1.Inhuman Ordeal...

2.One Inch Masters

3.Interity,Technology and Service

4.Lemonade For Vampires

5.Just Beautiful Music *

6.Janitors of Tomorrow

7.Rest of US

* I could rate this record higher for "Don't Panic" alone--it is the Hap-Hap-Happiest song I've ever heard, and I defy anyone to prove me wrong!!!

Great note for Gas Huffer to go out on. There are the songs about things (a doomed movie production, a statue, nano-technology, fugitives, Easter memories...), but it also has a couple of first person songs, a change for GH. Great melodies, and the organ is a good addition. It would be a good choice for someone new to the group. Alternatingly loose & fun and borderline serious, it fits well in the Gas Huffer canon, not quite a "I.T.S.", but they never are, are they?

Also, the first album to carry a lyric sheet!
