Its much poppier that the last one. It's a typical radio rock album. However, it is bloody catchy and very singalongable.

Joe Lally Nothing Is Underrated

I'm not gonna lie. I wouldn't have bothered checking out Joe Lally's solo stuff if i didn't find out he was touring Australia. Being a Fugazi fan myself,I knew i would kick myself in the head if i missed the gig. I had missed The Evens when they came out here 2 or 3 years ago and i am still bummed over that.

So i downloaded (gulp) his latest solo effort, Nothing is Underrated not knowing what to expect. I'm not really good at describing something but if i were to describe his music it would be a minimal, sparse, bass-driven alternative rock. Upon first listen, i was disappointed. The songs were nice, calm and well...safe for the most part. But they seem incomplete and goes nowhere. They didn't have that explosive feelings that Fugazi evoke nor the striking uniqueness that a lot of Dischord bands have.

After a couple of listens, the album started to become more interesting since i am picking up things that i wasn't before. Guitars in Scavenger Garden is simply 3 minutes of ear-blistering walls of noise and feedback. Pieces of String is a quiet piece only utilizing Lally's simple bass as the backbone and organs at the end. It became clear to me that Nothing is Underrated is a really personal album. The lyrics are very much social-aware and poetic at the same time. I personally think Lally's sparse arrangements and somewhat monotone vocals delivery achieves what his songs intended to do. Nothing is Underrated is not an amazing or groundbreaking in any way but Lally's attempt at individuality and honesty is simply admirable and enjoyable.
