AllMusic | [3] |
Still is a full-length studio album by the BoDeans, released in 2008. [4] [5] It peaked at number 194 on the Billboard 200. [6] It peaked at number 30 on the Top Independent Albums chart.
Mark Deming, writing for AllMusic, stated: "The scrappy enthusiasm that fueled the BoDeans' best music has given way to a more measured and mature sound in the 21st century, but Sam Llanas and Kurt Neuman are still capable of rocking a bit when they feel like it (cue up 'Lucille' for a taste), and the emotional ardor that's always made itself known in their songwriting is as clear and present as ever... Still is well worth a listen for BoDeans fans, but it falls a few notches short of what these guys can do when they're hitting their stride." [3] The Austin Chronicle called the album "a dozen inimitable tracks that veer from suburban psychedelia to folk-rock, taking off on 'Pretty Ghost', a swirling, guitar-based meditation on celebrity and fantasy." [2] Paste wrote that the BoDeans "settle into the durable, sometimes predictable bar rock they do best." [7]
