Lit – The Albums Ranked Worst to First

The band Lit actually started way back in 1988.  The were first known as a band called Razzle, then they dissolved and back Stain.  They released a demo and signed with a record label in 1995, but there was a problem.  The name Stain was already claimed, so they changed their name to Lit. Their debut album was released in 1997 and the rest is history.

The members from the classic Lit era (the late 90’s to early 2000’s) was A. Jay Popoff, Jeremy Popoff, Kevin Baldes and Allen Shellenberger.  The would make their first 4 Lit albums together before the line-up changed slightly in later years.  The members weren’t the only thing to change as did their sound.  They went from this Southern California Pop Punk type sound to more of a Pop Rock beachy feel all the way to Country on their last album.  Quite a journey.

I have followed them ever since their 2nd album ‘A Place in the Sun’ all the way until today, but I haven’t enjoyed the entire journey.  There have been hits and misses as with most bands.  If they continue with the Country sound though, I am pretty much done with them.  But until we see what happens, let’s go through their catalog and rank the albums from Worst to First.

And away we go….

Lit – These Are the Days – Album Review

Lit, the Pop punk, power pop, California rock band is back after five years with a new album and a very different sound.  They went from California Rock to California Country and why I have no idea.  They have always been a rock band; although that sound has changed a little over the years as they have grown as writers and musicians, they were still rock at heart.

Now I will admit, if you listen to their lyrics on their old albums, they could be Country songs as the word-play they do in the songs is similar to what you hear in Country music, only better because it was rock & roll.  Their music always made me feel good like I should be partying out on the beach with music blaring and a surf board in my hand (I have never surfed, but I wanted to if there were no sharks and no one watching to laugh).
