Every Dog Has His Day

What's in a Name?.......2006-01-06

I grew up in Winston-Salem, so Let's Active were hometown heroes of mine. From what I've heard, and choose to believe, the name Let's Active comes from a mis-translation of "Let's Get Physical," seen (presumably by a member of the band) on a Japanese t-shirt written "Let's Active." So the band name, like the music it produced, is genius. This was their swan song and is probably their most "rock" album. "Big Plans. .." should have been their first commercial success and this should have been their "sell-out" follow-up. And maybe in some alternate (better) universe, it was. If you want to learn where a whole bunch of today's hip bands were weened, check out Let's Active. It may take a few listens to get into Mitch Easter's unique (original) vocal stylings, but you cannot deny the rock.

Let's Active is a fantastic band name. Sorry I just had to say that. I've had this album since I was in my late teens and the older I get the more I realize how much this particular song writing technique has influenced me. Mitch crafts tight cohesive arrangements that feel like an amusment park ride designed for both thrills and contemplation. Great american rock and roll.

Let's Active is a stupid band name. Why anyone would name a band to insure commercial failure I don't know, but they are a decent band and this album in particular is a great listen. Every song works well and they even rock out at times. If you are looking for an undiscovered pleasure this album is highly recommended.
