LAGWAGON - LET'S TALK ABOUT FEELINGS (2LP)

Lagwagon Let's Talk About Feelings on 2LP

As the first band ever signed to Fat Wreck Chords, Lagwagon displayed a uniquely melodic brand of technical speedy pop punk that eventually established the band as a bellwether of the modern pop-punk movement. With more than 20 years of material at their disposal, the idea of honoring the band's vast influence by compiling a 'best of' album came about. Joey (singer, songwriter and driving force behind Lagwagon) had a decidedly different take on the functionality of a greatest hits collection, believing that there is so much more to a band's legacy than their hits.

Instead of limiting the scope of, and essentially artistically neutering their original material for future generation, the band agreed to go the opposite direction and expose the evolution of Lagwagon. Recognizing the sacramental status of their first five albums (Duh, Trashed, Hoss, Double Plaidinum and Let's Talk About Feelings) within the punk world, the band set to work, culling the archives in order to create one of the most comprehensive audio narratives ever compiled.

The resulting 5 re-releases are nothing short of spectacular. Each album boasts the original track listing alongside demos, outtakes, EP's, B-sides and unstructured jams from the accompanying era (including tons of previously unreleased material), all remastered from the original analog tapes. All 5 albums are also repackaged with expanded artwork including never before seen photos and an oral history provided by the band members.

Originally released in 1998, Let's Talk About Feelings is the fifth full-length from Lagwagon. Yet another solid 12-song collection of melodious and humorous pop punk. This Fat Wreck Chords vinyl reissue of Let's Talk About Feelings consists of a remastered version of the original album plus demos, outtakes, EP's and B-sides.
