    It's sad that this band that was supposed to be "ultra-democratic" barely lasted a year before internal tensions ripped it apart, but at least they left us the 13 songs on "Ro Sham Bo", the finest 59 minutes of 90's power pop on the planet.

      Sometimes, you just gotta let one person be the leader. At least that's what I have found being in bands with several songwriters and multiple egos. Each person always has the final say if it's their song or album or whatever. But you just gotta at least ATTEMPT to take turns and let everyone get a crack at it.

    Funny, several years ago I finally checked out Ro Sham Bo and settled on a small handful of songs to include in my regular rotation and they were the exact songs featured here. I guess they really were the best songs on that record.

    Gosh, I forgot how great that album was. It still sounds great now. I used to play this over and over and over until i could memorize each little nuance.

    Very cool! The Grays have always been underrated, IMHO.

    Who says drummers aren't the brains of the operations in most bands? Dan McCarroll went from pounding skins in the 90's (The Grays, Lloyd Cole, Michael Penn) to the corporate boardrooms of the music industry. After heading up Capitol Records and Warner Brothers Records in the 2000's-2010's, he was hired by Amazon in 2018 as Global Head of Originals and Artist Relations.

    I adore their record, and don't understand at all why they don't have the posthumous acclaim that Big Star does. Yes, Big Star came first, but as much as I like them I think The Grays did it better.

    And then Jon would leave because he didn’t like that Jason’s songs were considered “better” by the producers. I love this band and Jon Brion but he’s kind of a egotistical diva.

      That's too bad. I really like Jon's songs too though. I like both. They both had good songs to bring to the table.

    Vastly overrated album. Trying waaaay too hard to be clever. Still a good 4/5 but by no means the work of genius the hyperventilating reviews would have you believe.
