Album Notes
Gin Blossoms: Jesse Valenzuela, Robin Wilson, Bill Leen, Scotty Johnson.
Additional personnel: David Zeman, Scotty Kusmirek, Danny Wilde, Dorian Croizer, Rick Steff.
Recording information: Memphis, Tennessee (2006).
The veteran Arizona band's first album since their 1997 split and 2001 reformation is a solid effort, combining hook-heavy, pop-oriented tracks like "Come on Hard" and "Heart Shaped Locket" with ballads like "Someday Soon" and a nod back to their original REM/Byrds sound with "Jet Black Sunrise." "Long Time Gone" shows the band is still able to rock when required, while "The End of the World" displays a winning combination of sensitivity and pop smarts.
Industry Reviews
