Lit - Lit

When freed from the expectations of a major label deal, some bands break free and find a creative resurgence. Not Lit. If you've heard "My Own Worst Enemy," you know their sound, and it hasn't changed in the two albums after that. That's not a horrible thing, and this album is about as good as anything they've done, i.e. if you like "My Own Worst Enemy," it's definitely worth a try. All the hooks are strong, and the band is energized, but the closest thing to stepping out of their comfort zone is a cover of "Pictures of You," which the band is ill-fit for. Lit aren't the kind of band that comes up with timeless power-pop, but think of it as the best disposable music you heard in the background of a pretty good party.
