Lit - The View From The Bottom

The band Lit kinda unfairly didn't get to ride the success train like the lesser talented bands of their time period like Blink 182. Lit's return to the recording world is a pretty good album overall with some songs that are right up there with the best stuff the bands released but they have done the let's see if we can get a radio hit thing as well. So you get songs like "Miss You Gone" which could be from a Hedley record just as easily as it could be The Wanted or similar ilk acts.

The one aspect of their sound that is less present is the punkier hard rock stuff. The album is a little over produced and it pains me to say that because Butch Walker did the work. Again this band is coming back together in a completely different pop market from the one they vacated years ago. The music is a lot slicker if that's possible today than it was previously. Honestly the more I listen to this album the more annoyed I am by Hedley's last album. So I have to move on I know that so I will, buy this album as it plays well front to back and has some pretty good power pop like "C'mon", "You Did It" and gritty "Partner In Crime" complete with vocoder.

The most classic sounding song is "Right This Time" and it also closes the album.
