Just curious what everybody thinks. I confess to not having listened to a Smithereens album since 11. I like the song fine, but it doesn't grab me the way "A Girl Like You" or "Only a Memory" did, let alone "Behind the Wall of Sleep."

I like it a lot. Agreed, though, it's not on the same level as the classics Michael mentioned.

I think the new album's pretty good -- easily their most consistent since Green Thoughts. I'm not as big a fan of 11 as most people.

Agreed - there are a handful of tunes n 11 I like a lot, but I remember being really disappointed in it after Green Thoughts.

I may have to give the new one a listen.
