Synopsis

Album Description

The smartest, grittiest, solo-rich classic rock 'n' roll record you'll get this year. Informed by Thin Lizzy, T-Rex, and early Tom Petty, this album's brilliantly disheveled pop gems tell stories of dirty tricks, miscommunication, regret, bathroom graffiti, and misadventure. A record shot through with gritty, intimate, laissez-faire sentiment and soul.

CD Reviews

Review from the Synthesis

Synthesis_jason | Chico, CA | 06/16/2005

(3 out of 5 stars)

"On their past albums Love As Laughter has had a MC5, pre-punk inspired sound. With their new, aptly titled album, Laughter's Fifth, they depart from said sound to take on one that's even older. From the acid rock artwork on the cover, to the Keith Richards guitar tones, this CD screams late 60's rock and roll. There aren't any bells or whistles on this album, as the music is stripped down to bare essentially; drums, bass, guitar, vocals, and occasionally some keys. The only thing that really places Laughter's Fifth in this decade is Sam Jayne's distinctive vocal stylings. At a time when bands are reaching back to the 80's for inspiration, the heavy dose of late 60's rock put forth by Love As Laughter is as refreshing as it gets.

"this band hasn't put out a bad record yet. this flows in a way all the other converse clad poseurs wish they could. a lot more laid back than their previous releases, this album bares the soul of a true rock and roller in sam, without the played out, annoying cliches all the other rip-off artists are throwing at us these days. if you'd like something new and original that doesn't remind you of gang of four or joy division, check this record out."
