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. Makes me feel like a kid again.

That album offered a broad church of styles and, while enjoyable enough, it made few ripples in the marketplace.

The Lemonheads is not perfect. A rambling jam during the closing December is unimpressive, and even 35 minutes is pushing it. But it is a welcome return.

The Lemonheads 2006 may not be breaking any new creative ground, but they couldn't sound in ruder health.

I know this sounds like a press release, but I am really so pleased that not only does it not suck, but it’s good -- thus, I can’t help but recommend it.

On this 11-song set, Descendants drummer Bill Stevenson and bassist Karl Alvarez add their post-punk propulsion to the mix, moving the sound closer to the band's louder, faster beginnings than their latter-day folk-pop.

Most listeners with a soft spot for those early-90s Lemonheads records will get a good spin out of The Lemonheads; it's always good to see old friends and have them come off this happy and unchanged, even if you don't really need them in your life anymore.

There's no overwhelming ambition evident in Evan Dando's second album since his rehabilitation from drug addiction, no sense that he wants to do anything more than create sweet-natured power pop. But when the result is as good as Become the Enemy, the first single to be released from The Lemonheads, why aim for anything more?

Fans of the band during their mid-'90s heydays will likely find this a welcome return to form for a songwriter who has been artistically quiet for much too long.

At its best, The Lemonheads sounds exactly how you want the Lemonheads to sound -- "Rule of Three," "Let's Just Laugh" and "No Backbone" apply that same gnarled mix of country, alt-rock and punk Dando has used ever since It's a Shame About Ray and Come On Feel the Lemonheads.
