This is the first studio album from Less Than Jake since bad diagnosis in 1997. It has been nine years Less Than Jake’ last studio CD, “Losing Streak” which won Array Emmy� Awards and was nominated for album of the year. It’s natural for Less Than Jake to take a stab at ‘Automatic’ considering her long-professed love for 2 Unlimited. Such great and happy songs.
is a strong cut, one of many.
Less Than Jake is hitting on all cylinders in Happyman. In 9th At Pine the light shines equally on lyrics, vocals and instrumentation. Sugar In Your Gas Tank is simply cool. Shindo is one of my favorite songs by Less Than Jake. 107 is a song that definitely grows on you and becomes an album favorite. Johny Quest Thinks We’re Sellouts (2:49) - Oh, this is one of my favorites! Krazy Glue as well as many of songs is a short story in miniature. It took me a little time but I ended up loving Never Going Back To New Jersey. After few listenings I started to like How’s My Driving, Doug Hastings more and more. Just Like Frank is flawed, nonetheless pretty good song. Album opener Ask The Magic 8 Ball is a bright, upbeat ditty. Musically Dopeman is superior to other tracks in Losing Streak. Jen Doesn’t Like Me Anymore is the funkiest number on the album. Less Than Jake sings Kock-N-Roll Pizzeria in such a comforting, confident voice that you can’t help but be moved. Lockdown is a song to enjoy for years to come.
