Simpatico

(4 out of 5 stars)
"D.A.D. has always been a band that is about quirky lyrics wrapped around simple melodies and straight ahead rock; the type of music sadly bereft from modern radio.They don't disappoint with "Simpatico." With lyrics like "I burn the midnight oil, pour it on my salad," (Home Alone 4) and "Everytime that you throw dirt you lose a little ground" (Now or Forever) their spin on American colloquilisms is as strong as ever.D.A.D. makes music to have fun, but the somber "Hand Without Strength" shows a rarely seen side, and a glimpse of why this band should be as large as Aerosmith or the like.Barring the disharmony of the title track, this is a complete album and something old D.A.D.fans will enjoy, and also a great introduction for those new to this heavily underrated band."
