Title: Excellent Melodic And Melancholy Album
Review: The growing tension and melancholy in Keene's lyrics belies the melodic power and contagiously confident sound of Based on Happy Times, an excellent, overcast album that alternately resembles Pleased to Meet Me-era Replacements and the darker side of Let's Active. Keene's songwriting (with some assistance from Jules Shear) has never been better; the playing and production (by bassist Joe Hardy, drummer John Hampton and Keene) is spot-on, except for the strings that occasionally intrude in several arrangements. Pete Buck guests on a pair of tunes, including a bluesy cover of the Beach Boys' "Our Car Club." - Ira Robbins/Jim Green, Trouser Press
