 This is good Cracker, which means many things. Sunrise in the Land of Milk and Honey is chock-full of hooks, smarts and the biting sugar-shit-sharp lyrics of David Lowrey. But then, hasn’t every Cracker record been like this? Aren’t they all uniformly great, but somehow in the end unspectacular? Cracker never seems to hit either level, staying on the same sonic path song after song.
Granted, that is a hell of a path. The power chords driving “Yalla Talla (Let’s Go)" and “Time Machine, blended with the C & W snarl of “Friends” and “Turn on, Tune in, Drop Out with Me” make for a record that never lets up on quality. But it also feels decidedly desposable, a record you only need to listen to once. Sunrise in the Land of Milk and Honey is another great Cracker record, but cool, smart songs shouldn’t sound this unmemorable....full text |

| After three years and an album that I don’t even remember listening to, American alternative group Cracker makes a glorious return to the music scene with Sunrise In The Land Of Milk And Honey; and it is extremely hard for me to fathom that the band has been around for 19 years now. Whilst in junior high, I was a somewhat devout of the group Camper Van Beethoven -- and when the group called it quits in 1990 (they have since regrouped as so many other bands do after about two decades), frontman David Lowery went off to form Cracker with guitarist Johnny Hickman and bassist Davey Faragher while several other Campers joined the Monks Of Doom. Personally, I always preferred Monks Of Doom over Cracker -- but, as the years went by and my taste in music “matured” (if you will), I have found myself leaning more towards the eclectic sounds of Cracker (c’est la vie, right?)....full text |

| There's a thin line between clever and annoying, but David Lowery is careful not to cross it in Cracker. (Things were dicier in Camper Van Beethoven, his previous band.) Lowery's piercing intelligence and smartass humor click on Sunrise, his smoke-stained voice adding genuine soul to the quartet's chunky guitar pop. "Friends," a hilariously scuzzy duet with Drive-By Trucker Patterson Hood, wallows in redneck clichés; "Yalla Yalla (Let’s Go)" conjures ominous images of global conflict. And simply to prove he can, Lowery croons a beautiful, unironic love song called "Darling One."...full text |
