Creator

Demonstrating an increased sense of pop, not only in their songwriting but also in their relatively measured performances, the Lemonheads turn in a winning second album with Creator. Although they still spend a little too much time mucking around with sub-hardcore noise, Evan Dando's gentler pop numbers are quite appealing, even when he treads a little too closely to dippy-hippie clichés, and they certainly point the way to the engaging punk-pop of Lick. -Stephen Erlewine, AllMusic Guide
