Linus of Hollywood is a long time favorite power pop legend. Sounding alot like Glen Tilbrook without all that Squeeze baggage – “Triangle” pumps out lots of quick pop gems under three minutes each. “Farwell to the King” is an excellent single that floats on a melodic breeze and worth repeat listens. A few tracks feel a bit like throw-aways though. “How Do I do it everyday” is a quick comment on the music business he is in. The best part of this album is that you can listen to the whole thing on NotLame.com through this link. Linus’ subject matter is also more mature here, less of the optimism of earlier albums. The ballads are well written McCartney-styled songs. My favorite is the burlesque “I’m not so great,” a self-depreciating turn and it lightens the albums mood perfectly. Listen and you be the judge- Bruce at Not lame also has a special deal with this album.
