ANCIENT ALBUM VAULT – Change Everything by Del Amitri – 1992

by Shael Risman | May 8, 2021 | Ancient Album Vault | 1 comment

Justin Currie and band just nailed the shit out of their sophomore release CHANGE EVERYTHING. We played it endlessly in the store when it came out in 1992. From the opening chords of Be My Downfall through Surface Of the Moon and right to the final glow of Sometimes I Just Have to Say Your Name, Del Amitri truly delivers on the blissful power pop I loved in the 90s. Nothing special about the lyrics – which is weird coming from me I know – but the catchy hooks and soaring melodies make them almost unimportant to the joy. It was huge in Scotland where they are from, but it was almost completely missed here at the time.

Agree? Disagree? Like it? Hate? Let me know what you think in a comment below. I can take it 🙂

And then Paul Langlois’ opening riff from Little Bones exploded across the store like it was kicking in a door. Holy Fuck. Nothing makes me bang my head more than that song.

Regardless of the outcome, one thing is inarguable: Melissa McClelland is a very rare commodity in music – profoundly talented, whip-smart, and unswervingly committed to her art – in no particular order.

I don’t know how you say the lyrics on this album are nothing special – it’s a masterpiece and the lyrics are perfect in their intentional understatement. Anyhow – one of the best albums either way.

Peace!
