    It might be better to think of Hotel Sessions as a surviving collection of demos and rarities rather than a planned project. Handled in this way, the album begins to exude at least some charm.
  5. All we learn from these wispy solo offerings is that Lemonheads songs are not improved by persistent cassette hiss and background noise.
