Comments: Dr. Dog sounds like one of the most pop-rock sensible independent rock bands that I’ve heard. Psychedelia is there too, but isn’t too obvious. The bad thing about this band and this record is that they/it are/is not really fun standing alone. It’s almost like “damn, this is probably really good, but I’m not feeling it.” So rather than criticize the band for what they aren’t (yes, I’m pointing to you Bitchfuck Media), I’ll give them props and critiques for what they are. Dr. Dog aren’t fun. Maybe for some people. Maybe live. I wouldn’t know. Apparently they wanted a more live feel for this album. What was sort of enjoyable in the beginning is downright sleep-inducing by the end.

Grade: C (75)
