Limbeck - Limbeck
Reviewed by agloriousruin
Limbeck is back with their new self-titled release from Doghouse Records. The album finds the band getting back on track after their last release, Let Me Come Home, saw them wandering off into even more country tinged places than ever before, resulting in what was not their best effort. This time around, however, the band definitely rocks a little harder ("Big Drag" and "Keeping Busy," for example) while still staying true to the alt-country feel they do so well (most obviously in "Bird Problems" and "Friends"). The lyrics are classic Limbeck, as frontman Robb MacLean tells stories of home and the road in a way only he can. The major issue is that it doesn't have the closeness nor the staying power of Hi, Everything's Great, the band's breakthrough album of 2003. Still, those who've loved the band before will still enjoy this, and it might just bring in a few new fans as well. [ww.limbeck.net]
