Sometimes, the simplest thing sin life are so refreshing and enjoyable. Sitting on the porch with friends. Lighting off Roman Candles during a foggy autmun night. Listening to J Church. The magic is in the details, the little mundane bits about rice and beans, this and that, that Lance Hahn throws into the lyrics, making the stories something real rather than some abstract anthem about politics or emotions.
Lance sings about actual lives and events, and that makes it far more affecting.
This Cd is a collection of tracks culled from various singles and compilation albums, along with a series of covers. I've been waiting for a new record from this band for a while now. After the phenomenal first album and some great live shows, I was excited. And for the most part, they don't let me down. I had a hard time remembering much about it though.
