Recording information: Ardent Studios, Memphis, TN; Cowboy Outfit Studio, Los Angeles, CA; Pueblo Sound, Thousand Oaks, CA; Uranus Recording, Tempe, AZ. The veteran Arizona band's first album since their 1997 split and 2001 reformation is a solid effort, combining hook-heavy, pop-oriented tracks like "Come on Hard" and "Heart Shaped Locket" with ballads like "Someday Soon" and a nod back to their original REM/Byrds sound with "Jet Black Sunrise." "Long Time Gone" shows the band is still able to rock when required, while "The End of the World" displays a winning combination of sensitivity and pop smarts.
Entertainment Weekly (p.87) - "[T]his comeback LP marks a solid addendum to the Gin Blossoms' multiplatinum peak output." -- Grade: B
Defiantly waving the flag of power pop and jangly guitar rock at the height of the grunge movement, the Gin Blossoms proved to be an unlikely pop success in the mid 1990s. The band's 1992 breakthrough, NEW MISERABLE EXPERIENCE, produced several charting hits, including the jangle-pop classic "Hey Jealousy." Tragedy struck the band when principal songwriter and founder Doug Hopkins committed suicide in 1993. The rest of the band persevered, however, and continued to tour and record into the new millennium.
