Description
A Date with the Smithereens may have not been a big album but that had more to do with the musical climate of 1994 than the quality of the songs. This may not be on the level of Especially For You or Green Thoughts but is on the level of the more popular 11. Early on, you can see the grunge soundscape affecting the band as "War On My Mind" and "Everything I Have is Blue" are heavy on the riffs and distortion and lighter on the melodies. However, starting with the super catchy "Miles From Nowhere", the real Smithereens emerge and from here on, the album is pretty consistent. The aforementioned "Miles From Nowhere" is one of their best songs period, showing off Pat DiNizio's gift for a great melody and memorable lyric. "Long Way Back Again", "Point of No Return", and "Love Is Gone" are all very solid while "Gotti", with its strong harmonies, and the harder rocking "Can't Go Home Anymore" are even better. "Life Is So Beautiful" is another tearjerker of a ballad while "Sleep The Night Away" and the melancholy "Afternoon Tea" are also good tracks. I never could get into "Sick of Seattle" but hey, they can't all be good. 11 solid tracks out of 12 with a couple gems in there is pretty good. If you only know the "hits" and like what you hear.
CONDITION: New . Promotional sticker on back cover.
