LICK

Lick is the third album by THE LEMONHEADS and the last to feature founding member Ben Deily. It was released in 1989 and was the group's last album before signing to major label Atlantic. Bouncing back and forth between punk-pop and folky pop, Lick is a thoroughly engaging record. The tensions between Evan Dando and Ben Deily are fairly evident throughout the album, especially since Dando's songs, with their immediate hooks and melodies, outshine his bandmate's, but that unevenness makes the record endearingly messy. Also, the mess makes the group's best songs, including an inspired electric cover of Suzanne Vega's 'Luka,' shine all the more brightly.
