If the Boondogs 2005 album Fever Dreams reinstated the band s belief in itself through catharsis, it did so at no obvious peril. Songwriters Indy Grotto & Jason Weinheimer have caroused another ten songs that swing from clamorous pop Holding Out to the brilliant dirge of side closers What Was On My / Your Mind . And while all of the usual glean and shimmer of the Boondogs previous albums remains intact again here, I d say that there s something else at work as well. This outing finds the band at a particularl sweet spot of sound tweaking and just laying it all bare.
