The Lemonheads is nearly as great as the band's masterpiece, It's A Shame About Ray, and far more dependable than the runner-up Come On Feel The Lemonheads. And it may be more fun than either.
-
Under The RadarIt represents maturity and growth, all the while retaining the essence of what made The Lemonheads great. [#15]
-
The best thing that can be said about The Lemonheads is that it sounds like the album Dando and company should have released in 1995.
-
The first Lemonheads record in 10 years makes a great case for meat and potatoes, verses and choruses, distortion pedals and minimal production.
-
Most listeners with a soft spot for those early-90s Lemonheads records will get a good spin out of The Lemonheads.
-
There's a broken feeling about this album, a resignation that reflects the trouble of the intervening years.
-
The Lemonheads is full of, for better or worse, comfort music. It radiates a blunted nostalgic glow that seeps through the frequent musical languor.

MattD.Oct 6, 2006A couple songs sound a bit out of place, but are good - and they provide needed change of pace in this excellent power pop CD.

JyotirmayaDMay 2, 2007I love the Lemonheads' great catalogue of good songs, but this album is only half-good. There are some winners and stinkers on it...
