Baby I'm Bored

Amazon.com
In his thirties and no longer the poster boy of the post-grunge generation, Evan Dando returns a wiser and seemingly chastened man on Baby I'm Bored, his first studio album since the Lemonheads' 1996 finale, Car Button Cloth. His well documented difficulties behind him, it's heartening that Dando has returned with a set of genuinely lovely songs. Visceral, vital, and yearning, Baby I'm Bored boasts a wealth of gems. The opener, "Repeat," is vulnerable yet quietly resolute; "It Looks Like You" is as spectral and plangent as the Byrds; "Hard Drive" rehabilitates that widely despised genre, the list song. "The Same Thing," on the other hand, hints at mental turmoil ("I can't believe how far I slipped"), while "Why Do You Do This to Yourself?" berates a kamikaze party animal over the most muted! of acoustic strums. There is resolution in "All My Life," which gratefully delineates newer, sounder perspectives ("All my life I thought I needed the things I didn't need at all"), while the giddy, bucolic closer, "In the Grass All Wine Colored," is as pristine and pure as a baby's conscience. Members of Calexico, Giant Sand, Come, and Spacehog chip in support, but the focus is fully on Dando, an artist reborn, restored, and far from bored. --Ian Gittins

VERY NICE.......2007-04-03

Evan Dando steps up here with his first solo release. The sound is great and seems to stray from the lemonheads sound quite a bit. Singer-songwriter jems captured with a good backing band who doesn't over-power Dando's already perfect simple pop songs. The "alt-country" sound which the Lemonheads picked-up with "Lovey" is apparant here, but done in a different way. The sound is generally mellow and rocked-out. Get this homies.

I'm In The Grass All Wine Colored to Infinity.......2006-08-27

While some have been critical of this album for numerosu reasons, mainly that it is post-recovery, I still find everythign Evan Dando touches to be gold. The songs are pure musical perfection, and Evan still holds the same brilliant musical spirit as ever before. I have listened to Evan for many, many years, and a bad Dando album is till 100 times better than anythign else for me. I love it, and think it is a great album. "All my Life", and "In the Grass Wine Colored" are classics, to be sure. No matter what Evan sings, I find myself unable to shake it from ny head many hours later. Thanks, Evan, and keep writing. I have been through addicition, drug years, punk/power trash, etc, right there with you, and out the other side I am glad to have musicians like you blessing my ears.

Dissapointing.......2006-01-01

Ive seen Evan's' solo act as well as The Lemonheads.I grew up with all the Lemonheads albums,and was fairly optimistic about this release.The lyrics are generic for the most part.Its sad to see Evan's songwriting skills have been so damaged by his self destruction.The album has about three great songs though.

Baby it's Boring.......2004-12-15

Alas, I never heard the Lemonheads and perhaps they were something I would of liked. But after hearing former frontman Evan Dandos' solo project I somehow don't think so.
It's not that there is anything horribly bad in this record, but thats it's problem, there isn't much of anything in this record. The songs sort of plod along in an unchangeing dirgelike rhythm (you could tap your foot to this entire record at more or less the same speed). The music is unremarkable unadorned chord strumming and the lyrics are quasi-wistful innocuous sad sack garbage that I seriously couldn't remember a line of five minutes after the record ended. In fact, I couldn't hum a bar from one of these songs right now and I listened to it this morning.
In short, unless you suffer from a severe case of insomnia, pass this record over for something else.

For the grad student in all of us..........2004-10-24

Well, at least you can't accuse Dando of not growing along with his fans. If you rocked - kind of, sort of - to the Lemonheads when you were in your early twenties, now you can mellow out in your early thirties with Baby I'm Bored. None of these songs are particularly memorable but they capture the tone of pre-midlife-crisis angst perfectly: not so much depressed as resigned. Sure, life isn't as exciting as it was when you were back in the dorms but you know, uh, it's the only game around. Anyway, perfect for that moving-out-of-the-loft party you've got next weekend in Williamsburg.
