If this is the only Lemonheads album on this list, you chose wrong. It should have been Lick. But as far as It's a Shame About Ray is concerned it's a good solid album. I think it's diminished by the fact that after the record companies got a bunch of free money in the 90s for re-releasing albums on CD that fans rebought, they signed EVERYBODY. Unfortunately, that includes bands that were in The Lemonheads' wheel-house ... some better, most worse.
