Meet The Real You has its weak spots, but there are a handful of gems on this album that are certainly as good as anything Ben Lee has ever done. If I hadn't discovered the video for "16" late one night on 120 Minutes, I might not have ever discovered this album since it didn't make any mainstream noise in the United States. Too Bad because Brinsley, 16 and Exorcism Babe are songs I constantly revisit on my iPod. Along with Ben Lee's earlier Noise Addict labeled ode to Evan Dando, I Wish I Was Him, they stand up with the best alternative rock of the nineties.

I absolutely love this cd. I am not a big Ben Lee fan at all, but I think Noise Addict was one of the most underrated "bands" ever. I loved this cd on first listen in '95 or so (when it was released), and love it MORE now, in 2007. That is pretty good in my book. Definitely give it a listen!

I got this disc when it came out a few years ago. Its absolutely awesome. Leader Ben Lee blends charming melodies with head bobbing guitar pop, along with humorous and witty lyrics to round off the deal. The only bad thing about it is that there won't be another one, since Lee went solo in '97.
