1997-EASTWEST
Produced by ERIC MASUNAGA
1. Digitize
2. Break Up With Your Boyfriend
3. Burn This Bridge
4. Herstory
5. You Might Want Me Around
6. You'll Never Know
7. Itch It
8. Discopolis
9. Luster
10. I Was Wrong
11. On The Slide
12. Seek And Destroy
13. Wished On The Wrong Star
The Dambuilders, from Hawaii of all places, finally found the perfect mix between their big sound, their great songs, and the production it all needed to pull everything together on Against The Stars. Much better than the earlier entry here (Ruby Red), this album is loaded with heavy gems: "Break Up With Your Boyfriend" is power pop perfection, and the chorus on "Itch It" is as good as it gets.
There's also an experimental side: "Luster" is a dancefloor trance that sticks in your head. Joan Wasser and Dave Derby trade vocals throughout the album, and the guitars are heavier than on any other Dambuilders release. This is the album to have from this band. Virtual unknowns who should have been a big thing. [First added to this chart: 04/12/2012]
