Harvey Danger- Little by Little. Release Date- September 13, 2005 (Phonographic)

K-K-K-Kick it! Back to 2005.
Harvey Danger are unfortunately best known for a clever, but now dated song called "Flagpole Sitta." The fact of the matter is that while most people only know this band for one song, they have a distinct catalogue, the best of which is their last album, Little by Little.
Most of their previous works had been polished guitar rock tracks, but Little by Little displays Jeff Lin's emotional piano work. "Wine, Women and Song" and "War Buddies" play with the contrast between a serious tone and playful lyrics and vice versa. "Cream and Bastards Rise" seems to be the only track that sounds like Harvey Danger of the past, which fades into "Moral Centralia," a great example of their more recent piano pop sound. "Little Round Mirrors" is audibly Neil Diamond inspired (in a good way), and with "Happiness Writes White" Sean Nelson is able to show off his witty lyrics and astonishing vocals. Starting out the back half of the album "Incommunicado" and "Cool James" give a breath of much needed silliness. "What You Live By" reshapes an old cliche and forms it to be more thoughtful than it was before. The album finishes on "Demising Returns," which has a bit of unfinished feel to it, much like the end of Harvey Danger that came last year.
I've never been much of a lyrics listener, but Sean Nelson's voice demands your attention, and his words always deliver. Too many people have never heard this album, and I hope more do, so that they can fall in love with it the way I did.
