God Save the Smithereens Poster
The critically acclaimed college-rock act's 1999 album featuring 13 tracks. Velvel Records.The title of the Smithereens' first album since 1994's Date with the Smithereens pointedly draws a parallel with the Kinks. Not only are Ray Davies and his mates an obvious influence here (check out "The Age of Innocence"), Pat DiNizio and company must also empathize with the Kinks' status as an underappreciated classic-rock band. All the elements that defined the Smithereens' sound back in their mid-'80s heyday--the shimmering guitar textures, the muscular rhythm section, the brooding minor key melodies--are in definitive effect here, and the mix sounds better the louder you play it. The songs, several of which share a premillennium vibe, display the group's assured grasp of rock & roll fundamentals, drawn from the likes of Buddy Holly and the Beatles to proto-grunge sonics. DiNizio might have been wise to leave the "Gloomy Sunday" cover to Elvis Costello. But "She's Got a Way," "Flowers in the Blood," and "I Believe" are destined to find a place among such Smithereens' anthems as "Blood and Roses" and "Only a Memory." -Rick Mitchell
