Comments for Let's Active, Big Plans For Everybody

This is one of the best albums of all time. Ever. Hardly anyone knows about it, but when someone mentions it it, it's a tip-off that they know something. A litmus test of good taste. On a par with REM's Murmur and even more so, the perfect,underappreciated Chronic Town.

Let`s Active`s second full length release, "Big Plans ForEverybody" is darker and less playful than "Cypress" or "Afoot",and less rock `n roll than "Every Dog Has His Day". But it`salso their best. As he proved while producing REM`s "Murmur"in 1983, Mitch Easter knows that there`s a big differencebetween country music and Southern-influenced pop. BPFE`s puresound and twangy riffs shine through even a decade later. After hearingit, you`ll realize that Easter`s distinctive twangy stamp wasall over the early 90`s alternative scene. "In Little Ways" and"Reflecting Pool" in particular are gems. The only problemwith this album is finding it. Good luck.
