Jeffrey Lewis & The Junkyard - Roll Bus Roll

Review by Blacklight Paradise Music

Roll Bus Roll, the 2010 album by Jeffrey Lewis & The Junkyard, is a unique and eclectic collection of songs that showcases the band's signature blend of folk, punk, and indie rock. The album features Lewis' trademark witty and introspective lyrics, full of social commentary and personal reflection.

The opening track, "To Be Objectified," sets the tone for the rest of the album with its catchy guitar riff and Lewis' sardonic observations on gender dynamics. Other standout tracks include "Slogans," a fast-paced punk anthem about the empty promises of political slogans, and "Cult Boyfriend," a tongue-in-cheek ode to obsessive fandom.

Throughout the album, The Junkyard's instrumentation is tight and energetic, with driving basslines and intricate guitar work. Lewis' vocals are raw and emotive, adding an extra layer of depth to his already poignant lyrics.

Summary by Blacklight Paradise Music

Roll Bus Roll is a must-listen for fans of indie rock and punk, as well as anyone looking for intelligent and thought-provoking lyrics. Jeffrey Lewis & The Junkyard have created a truly unique and memorable album that stands the test of time.
