RCA 65740 (CD promo)
In a world where labels will do about anything to get their records
noticed, the latest single from oh-so-hot rock outfit Lit includes no
less than four different call-out hooks on the promo CD single. Tsk,
so very insecure. No need to oversell this immediately gratifying
record, guaranteed to ignite radio with the gusto of the latest track
from hook-consistent Collective Soul. This time around, vocalist A.Jay
Popoff offers a Tom Petty-esque melody with a chorus that delivers
with the dependability of a guaranteed overnight-delivery package
filled with aggressive but radio-friendly TNT. Set amid a bonfire of
momentous guitars, this track is likely headed for the top of the rock
charts, with the hooky potential to be remixed into the band's first
reality-based bid at adult top 40. But first, mainstream rock has
further reason to wrap its collective arms around a band that has what
it takes to slap the chart bell again and again.
