LIT: "Atomic"
3 1/2 Stars
Dirty Martini/RCA Records

While most bands from California's Orange County are rehasing played-out sugar-pop styles, Lit has welded its love for crunch metal to scruffy three-chord rock melodies.

That concoction is the reactor core of "Atomic," one of the most appealing musical hybrids to hit in a while.

The quartet tempers its aggressive attack with catchy melodies that give "Atomic" a sweet 'n' sour quality.

In the two years since Lit hit the big time with "A Place in the Sun," they've honed their chops with a rigorous concert schedule.

Although "Atomic" is a studio disc, it has the energy of a live record.

The lyrics don't try to shake the world - most tunes are about guys getting ditched by girlfriends.

Their loss is our gain - there isn't a bad song here. The best of the bunch include "Addicted," "Evertyhing's Cool" and the bonus track "Over My Head," featuring Steven Tyler of Aerosmith.

This album is rock 'n' roll at its finest - simple, heartfelt, irreverent and fun. Count it among this year's best.
