With “House Of Lett” tying the funky backbone of the record to a modern Dance, House vibe and “Checker Wrecker” going in on the Go-Go beats of D.C., there is an undeniable modern element to this album that keeps it from being a portrait of the past. “Resonate” is a foray into the future with a deep respect for the music it is built upon.
Even though the groove is consistent through the album, that groove does find space for “Remember The Children” which could be considered the ballad of the album. The song is one of the few lyrical moments on the record which features the talented vocals of Nigel Hall.
While the instrumental heavy album is true to the identity of the band, at times one is left to wonder how some of the instrumental songs would sound with more vocals. Between Nigel and the many guest singers that Lettuce have had through the years, it would be interesting to hear a vocal heavy album in the future.
