 SOUNDTHESIRENS.COM - Review :: Lit - Lit
Lit opens the album with a song full of cheap metal hooks that leaves you wondering if this is the real face of the band that has been hiding for years.
The rest of the album goes back and forth trying to figure out if they are a pop rock band, a metal band, an alternative band, or a band that should have ended their success a few years ago.
With Lit flying solo on their latest release and churning out a recipe for disaster, it leaves one to debate that maybe they were just like every alternative, record label built machine- because when they try to stand on their own, they fall flat on their faces.

 IGN: Lit Review
To put the success of that album in context, it was released within 4 months of Blink-182's Enema of the State, which effectively blew the doors off of the Pop/punk genre.
Unfortunately, Lit was unable to ride this wave of success and their third album Atomic didn't reach the broad audience that "Sun" had attracted.
Lit maintains its catchy brand of pop rock until the album collapses on itself with the surf-rock rip off "Forever Begins Right Now." This track seems to borrow from a number of early Beatles and Beach Boys singles and it is best suited to play during the credits of G rated animated film.

No longer on a major label, Lit still offers similar work to their previous efforts except this time around their earnest dedication to their influences is more apparent.
Lit pulls off a song which will be stuck in your head for days, and you won't necessarily be pissed at them for it.
And through hearing these chants as the music fades, Lit proves that their self-titled album is their best effort to date.

Lit are known for being pop-rock or lite-sounded, so it's very possible that someone who hated Lit because of the Place in the Sun feel would like this, or possibly since they showed so much promise and "album feel".
Lit is a band who I'd categorize as "Mainstream Rock" rather than any other subgenre of rock.
I still think they'll be best-known of their albums ten years from now on this, although they kind of flattened down with their other two albums.

Lit seemed to have mis-spent at least as much of their youths listening to Cheap Trick as The Replacements, and sounded all the better for it.
I first started listening to Lit in 1999, after their Place in the sun album, (which is a masterpiece of feel good punk rock which everyone should listen to or buy!).
This album is great it oozes rock and roll, it kicks off with the great something to someone and ends off with over my head, there are too many highlights on this album to mention, Just buy it and prepare fopr an atomic blast of rock and roll at its best.

 Lit - Lit
This eponymous set is Lit`s fourth, and their most self-assured to date.
After a three-year hiatus, during which they ended their relationship with RCA, the bandmembers are obviously raring to go; their self-confidence is evidenced by their decision to produce this album themselves, and they deftly emphasize their full-bodied styling while giving plenty of play to the strong melodies that set this set alight.
This album does, however, feature some darker themes than previously heard, but even one of the flest, "Bulletproof," written about a friend`s suicide, shakes off the sorrow to end in an affirmation of life that simultaneously pays tribute to Cheap Trick.

 Music Review for July 8   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
Lit is one of those bands that I had almost forgotten about entirely.
I thought for certain that Lit was done for and to write them off with the rest of the 90’s pop/rock acts that cratered or disappeared under the radar such as The Refreshments, Better Than Ezra, Dishwalla, or Presidents of the United States of America.
Lit’s self-titled release won’t burn up the charts over the months to come, but it’s worth picking up for those who were fans of the post-grunge rock of the mid to late 90’s.

Ok this may not be Lit's finest album, it is more raw and louder, nothing wrong with that i must admit, I first got into Lit in 99 when a place in the sun was released.
I cannot say which album is better out of the four, as I love each one of them equally, so I would have to say they are all as good as eachother, just proving Lit are an awesome band.
Being a huge fan of Lit's later albums I found this album to be far from the usual "polished rock" that i have come to love.

 Lit: self-titled - PopMatters Music Review
Lit have never been ashamed to admit that their music is a combination of the stuff they listened to during their formative years: heavy metal and pop music.
Still, it's such a solid rendition, blending the melancholy feel of the original with the band's own sound, that it deserves to be a hit; it's a shame it couldn't have made the cut for the 50 First Dates soundtrack, which propelled 311's cover to its lofty chart heights.
Lit might not have the indie cool factor of groups like Yellowcard, New Found Glory, or Saves the Day, but their music has easily as many hooks and just as much enthusiasm propelling it.

Album lead-off "Diner Girls" is another multi-layered highlight, successfully blending Edward Hopper loneliness with a boombox beat.
The album is a sonic marvel - earnest vocals tinged with honeyed twang rising over the soothing white-noise of loops, beats and a battered boombox.
Their debut album is a melange of alt-country rock and ambient noise> There is a true atmosphere to the music that conjures up thoughts of loneliness and hardship through the introspective lyrics of singer/songwriter D.Ahearn.

 Lit CD
On the group's self-titled fourth album, Lit's trademark Cheap Trick-esque power-pop is very much in evidence, but the sound is fleshed out with echoes of Kiss, Billy Squier, Foghat, and a host of other 1970s and '80s arena rockers.
The album kicks off with heavy guitar work from Jeremy's six strings, soon joined by the rest of the band, including tuff vocals from A. Jay that remind die-hard Lit fans of the underground club style heard on Tripping the light fantastic.
They have matured on this album, with more serious and personal lyrics rather than witty, satirical ones they are known for, but they do not lose one ounce of their loved sound.

With a fast, predominant drum beat and heavy guitars (again) Lit this time throw in a few fancy solos and serve up a middle-of-the-road song, which is quite nice at this point in the album.
Lit are destined for a few more top 20 hits yet.
The biggest test will come with their third album when we will find out if they really are capable of doing anything completely original.

 Lit Reborn With New Album, Label   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
Fronted by vocalist A. Jay Popoff and his brother, guitarist Jeremy Popoff, Lit made a splash with its 1999 RCA album "A Place in the Sun," which sold 1.4 million copies, according to Nielsen SoundScan.
Lit's new album, which Popoff says will probably be self-titled, will be issued as a joint-venture project bearing the logos of Nitrous, DRT and the band's own Dirty Martini imprint.
The new album, which features the punk-inflected sound of previous Lit ventures, was recorded a short drive from the group's Orange County homes.

The success was a long time coming and well-deserved (Lit had been grinding it out together for more than a decade with an indie EP and album under their belt before they signed to RCA).
The success also upped the ante for Lit when the time came to record the new album, Atomic, but the band rose to the occasion.
And while LIT's sound is grounded in a heavy vein, their love of pop is revealed on tracks like "Quicksand" and "Four." The group's debut album, "Tripping the Light Fantastic," was released in April 1997 on an independent label.

 ORANGE COUNTY WEEKLY OC Weekly: Cover: Still on Fire   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
Writing the album early this year—after Lit finished more than two draining years of nearly nonstop touring ("Toward the end, we were definitely changing; we were turning into these, like, these road jackals," says Jeremy), wasn’t so easy, though.
In a sense, Lit have two albums coming out: their own and the debut album from Orange County’s Handsome Devil (released Sept. 25), which Jeremy produced as the first release on Lit’s very own label (in conjunction with parent label RCA), Dirty Martini.
Lit perform with Handsome Devil and MxPx at the Santa Anita Racetrack, 285 W. Huntington Dr., Arcadia, (626) 574-7223.

This album though not a summer soundtrack like 'A place in the sun' still has a lot of cool tunes to offer.
Lit mixes things up on the acoustical 'Happy in the meantime' where they add strings, reminding me of a few years back when Green Day came out with 'Time of your life' It's a perfect example of a good rock band branching out into new directions.
Most of the music on Lit's new disc is pretty cool and worth buying if you liked their major label debut.
