Release Notes:
Bill Janovitz still is god and I'm getting old...
Enjoy their first new album in _9_ Years! :)
Ever wonder what happened to Buffalo Tom, the
seminal Boston trio whose early-'90s songs were
splashed about alternative radio and MTV? They're
back, and one spin of their first record since
1998's Smitten gives the impression that they never
left and that a decade has gone by faster than a Tom
Maginnis drumroll. The melodies still rumble with
elegance. The choruses are instantly unforgettable.
And the band's original members--Maginnis, Bill
Janovitz (guitar/vocals), and Chris Colbourn
(bass/vocals)--remain intact and chillingly in
synch. While it might be apropos to say they have
matured with age, as all three have seen 40 pass
them by, the angst and innocence of these 13 songs
could easily have come blasting out of 1992. Rockers
"September Shirt," "Bottom of the Rain," and "Good
Girl" surely entice, but it's the power-poppiness of
"Renovating" and "CC and Callas" (both sung by the
underrated Colbourn) that drift back to the band's
staples like "Taillights Fade" and "Mineral." Add to
that canon the radiant melody of "You'll Never Catch
Him," where Janovitz's gravelly tenor complements a
radiant hook that, together, recapture the
brilliance of this essential American band.
