Review: Just Like the Fambly Cat

It is hard to describe how it was like listening to Grandaddy's last album. Kind of sad, while well aware that sadness will not help. Anyway, drop the mood and let us see how it was like.

Just Like the Fambly Cat is just like Grandaddy, one cannot see this last album as one of those last albums that have a sum-up effect over the artists, though. Compared with earlier peaks like Sumday and The software Slump, Just Like the Fambly Cat is simply "plane" Grandaddy. During the nearly one-hour time, one could even be reminded of Under the Western Freeway for some quite similar tunes. Well, sometimes it is difficult to drop the mood, isn't it; Summer...It's Gone is quite emotional, and so sad that it almost brought me to tears. One could also find some songs with that kind of "bright color" of Grandaddy's and when you are listening, it is like sunshine were on you. The album ends with Jason singing I'll never return. (Shangri-La (Outro))

Grandaddy, thank you for your talent, and whatever, you will always be one of my favorites!
