Warner Bros. Lemonheads - It's a Shame About Ray
American rock's very own boy-bimbo, Evan Dando, really wasn't happy with one particular part of this album: a rocking version of Simon and Garfunkel's "Mrs Robinson" (later to turn up on Wayne's World 2) which does, to be fair, seem a bit out of place on the best album the band have written. So let's ignore it and concentrate on the other twelve tracks of comparatively gentle (next to what other bands were up to at the time) melodies have to offer. Well, it's rather a lot actually. Dando's softly bewildered vocals seem to float over understated but perfect pop tunes like the sad little title track and "Rudderless," while "Bit Part" is adorably yearning, and about as unresistable as an Andrex puppy. Never underestimate the quiet boys. --Emma Johnston
