41 year old Art Alexakis and his rock outfit Everclear have recorded another good record! It's been a few years. No matter how boring their albums got and no matter how many Gap, Drug - Free, and car commericals they did, I still went to the shows. I like jumping around and screaming, " I used to know a girl, she had two pierced nipples and a black tattoo!" as much as the next guy, probably much more. I like the fact that even the bad, boring songs sound good when they play them live. I liked knowing that no matter how old they got and no matter how many people said that they were "the Northwest's biggest sellouts," the shows would always be fun. I always find out at Everclear shows that I still really like the band.
But still, I never expected to buy another album after "So Much for the Afterglow."

Ahh well.
