10. Endless Day - I Am Lovedrug

According to the I AM LOVEDRUG album sleeve, "Endless Day" 

was originally recorded by Glamour School. Not sure where 

they originated from. I can't seem to find anything on them. If 

this cover song is anywhere close to being as good as the original, 

then I am pretty confident they are a decent little band. A great  

cover song is a song that the band reworking it makes feel like it 

was written by them. That being said, this feels like it was a 

Lovedrug creation.

09. Ladders - Ep, Part I

There is two versions of this song. Both are equally powerful. The 

first coming to life on the first of 3 back to back EP's. This choice 

coming from the first one titled Ep, Part I. A much thinner rougher 

song in production. The 2nd version being much thicker and 

immediate in its production values. Both are fantastic. This is a 

song that belongs on a short list of Lovedrug songs that will win 

them new fans upon first listen. If someone doesn't instantly fall 

victim to this doomy sunny summer vibe of a song, then they will 

never truly enjoy this rock group.

08. Angels With Enemies - Pretend You're Alive

This song is the perfect blend of theatrics and emotion. So many 

beautiful moments laced throughout this one. Sometimes these 

guys are criticized for being much too polished sounding. Maybe 

that is true, but most times it benefits the mood of the song. Even 

in those moments of grandeur, they almost always sound creative 

and meaningful. Despite the much too friendly radio shout outs, 

they almost always make it work to their advantage. Never better 

than on their debut album "Pretend You're Alive."

07. Down Towards The Healing - Pretend You're Alive

This dirge of a tune crawls along with an easy piano melody to start. 

The build up is ever so slow. The waiting and anticipation is well 

worth it, once this song gets going. This musical piece of art is a 

stunner. Sure to warrant many many late night repeated spins.

06. Strange Heart - Ep, Part III

It's easy to overlook the guitar work on many of their songs. But on 

"Strange Heart" you are forced to stand up and pay attention to the 

sweat induced dual guitar attack. The main guitar riff just beats on 

you like a mad drummer. Such a great rocker of a tune.

05. Thieving - Everything Starts Where It Ends

If you are in the business of making mix tapes, this one is well 

worth being selected when wanting to impress someone. Especially 

if you have your sights set on a young adorable special kind of girl. 

Michael's lyrics aim right for the sentimental at heart. This 

melancholy affair is as good as it gets. Another winner if you ask me.

04. Pretend You're Alive - Pretend You're Alive

"Pretend You're Alive" is quite the mood piece. As many of their 

greatest songs are. Cryptic lyrics along with excellent keys, lead 

this epic journey of discovery. This is one of their most obvious 

songs that truly deserves the distinct Radiohead comparisons. 

But where Radiohead sometimes falls short, Lovedrug comes 

thru with great vocal delivery and heart felt emotion. This is a 

song that begs big time attention. It's hard to not come back to 

this song over and over again.

03. Pink Champagne - Ep, Part I

If there is one thing Lovedrug understands, they understand 

timing and rhythm in a song. Not forcing things, giving the 

song a chance to develop and grow. They are great at letting 

the song breathe. Something U2 has long since perfected. 

Both versions of this song are awesome. But once again the 

1st version wins out. This interpretation just feels more 

comfortable and honest.

02. Premonition - Wild Blood

Once again we have a song within two different lives. The 

difference is this time the suped up version is the obvious 

winner. It's much more deliberately focused in its delivery, 

which in turn helps take this song to the next level. Where 

the first portrayal of this one falls a little short of the finish 

line. Either way you would be lucky to have either song 

playing on your radio.

01. Spiders - Pretend You're Alive

If there was ever a Lovedrug song that deserved 

obnoxious radio play. It would be "Spiders." There is just 

something instantly contagious about this one. It just 

feels like it was meant to hit the ears of millions of 

innocent unsuspecting people. If The Beatles taught us 

anything, it's that the power of a 3 minute pop song can 

go a long way in this world. Lovedrug struck gold with this 

one. It's a shame that not enough people have heard this 

little wonderful gem of a song.
