Product Description
Amazon.co.uk review
Hand Over Your Loved Ones is more of the same from Wheatus--underdog rock bristling with sharp hooks, wry, knowing lyrics and a degree of wit and irony that lesser lights like Sum 41 and Blink 182 would die for--but edgier than their eponymous debut. The tone is set by the infectious, self-effacing opening track "American in Amsterdam", wherein Brendan B Brown and cohorts romp around the Dutch city before being beaten up by "pissed, drunk and raging" English football hooligans. Likewise, "Anyway" revisits the terminal dorkdom of "Teenage Dirtbag2" ("I'm a jerk and a weirdo, nothing but a zero") while "Lemonade" finds a cuckolded Brown begging his former lover to level with him: "Just tell me if his dick was bigger than mine". Yet for all the lewdness and levity, Wheatus have palpably grown up: "Fair Weather Friend" and "Randall" both take pot shots at the contradictions and hypocrisies of fame, and display an anger and belligerence that was utterly absent two years ago, while "Freak On" is the bizarre sound of the worm turning into a (rather nonplussed) babe magnet. Darker and (marginally) more troubled they may be, then, but Wheatus remain the kings of hook-laden, catchy, slyly entertaining nerd-pop. --Ian Gittins
Description
After the success of their self titled debut album and single 'Teenage Dirtbag', Wheatus release their second album 'Hand Over Your Loved Ones'. Recorded in lead singer/songwriterBrendan B. Brown's basement and taking inspiration from the9/11 terror attacks, the album is more somber in tone than the pop-rock sound that featured on previous recordings. Also included is the single 'American In Amsterdam'.
