Whether dark and brooding or bright and urgent, the songs on Friction, Baby are precise and irresistibly musical. First single: \"King of New Orleans.\" Touring is scheduled for a full year to support the release.\n\n\nAmazon.ca\n\n\nThe first two albums from Better Than Ezra were recorded as low-budget demos and released on tiny indie labels, even though the second one,\nDeluxe, was leased by Elektra and turned into a platinum smash. The third album,\nFriction, Baby, is the trio's first with a big budget and an experienced producer (Don Gehman of John Mellencamp, R.E.M., and Hootie \u0026amp; the Blowfish), and it crystallizes Better Than Ezra's identity as a mainstream pop band relying on catchy hooks, straightforward lyrics, and top-40 arrangements (which in 1996 meant grunge guitar). Kevin Griffin, the group's singer\/songwriter\/guitarist, has excellent pop instincts, and the 13 songs on\nFriction, Baby are as pleasurable as they are unadventurous.\n--Geoffrey Himes\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eUPC:\u003c\/b\u003e 075596194426\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEAN:\u003c\/b\u003e 0075596194426\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguages:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding:\u003c\/b\u003e Audio CD\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eItem Condition:\u003c\/b\u003e UsedVeryGood\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"ID Shop.ca","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51459705930025,"sku":"59-L81X-N4SF","price":3.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0747\/6225\/6681\/files\/51LMjQPXc9L.jpg?v=1762030477","url":"https:\/\/konnichiwa.ca\/products\/better-than-ezra-friction-baby-cd-used","provider":"こんにちはマート | KON NICHIWA MART","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
