Tremendous Sophmore Album

"Dear and the Headlights returns with their sophmore album "Drunk Like Bible Times" with even more fervor than their debut work. Where "Small Steps, Heavy Hooves" at times gently missed the raw energy of a DATH live-performance, this new album captures it all. From the first line "Are you swingin' from the eaves in a tasteful noose," you get the immediate feeling that Metzger's lyricism has risen to incredible heights, which is then immediately matched in passion by the band's complex-yet-approachable torrents of sounds. DATH will give you a few pop songs on this album, but even then the lyrics merit considerable digestion. And they also challenge the listener with a handful of songs that require marination, but are entirely justified.
This is a standout album of the year and shows just how brilliant these guys are becoming."
