Details: Product Description 1993 album features the tracks the Great Big NO, Into Your Arms, Paid to Smile and more. Atlantic. Amazon.ca The Lemonheads' third Atlantic album has its moments: "The Great Big NO," "Down About It" and "Dawn Can't Decide" don't break new ground (the dB's jangled better 12 years ago), but they're catchy, rollicking pop tunes. Unfortunately, frontman Evan Dando wants to be taken seriously as an artist dealing with big issues. "Big Gay Heart" is a country-flavored protest of gay-bashing in which he takes a cue from Kurt Cobain and flirts with bisexuality. The truth is, he's probably too narcissistic to care about another member of either sex. In "Paid to Smile," Dando protests that he shouldn't be treated special because he's a handsome rock star. But his attitude says exactly the opposite. It's a bit like that old shampoo commercials where the model crows, "Please don't hate me because I'm beautiful. --Jim DeRogatis
