Full review
As part of the all conquering axis of bands from Mass. the Lemonheads gave us all perfect melodic rock. Although I initially prefered Buffalo Tom - the "Luka" cover helped Evan overtake the competition. The middle to later cds gave us the indie king and queen of our hearts - with Evan & Ms Hatfield the perfect couple.
Let me admit that I still bug my net friends with quotes from classic lines from "Ray" & "Bit Part".
As I stare at my copy with Evan's scrawl on the cover let me depart with one slight caveat - Lemonheads' covers usually rocked but "Mrs Robinson" is superfluous.
