2011 by The Smithereens
2011 is an album by The Smithereens, released in 2011. 1 song from it has charted on rock radio countdowns, with 3 countdown appearances in total. The biggest is “Sorry”, on 3 lists with a best position of #64.
2011, the Smithereens' 11th studio album, came out on April 5, 2011, and its title is a wink: the sleeve riffs on the cover of their 1989 LP 11. It was the New Jersey band's first set of new original songs since God Save The Smithereens in 1999, after an eight-year break from recording and four albums of covers between 2007 and 2009.
Don Dixon produced, and the band sounds happy to be back on its own material: Pat DiNizio singing and playing guitar, Jim Babjak on guitar, Dennis Diken on drums and Severo Jornacion holding down the bass in place of the departed Mike Mesaros. The songs are built the old way, on chiming guitars and big hooks. "Sorry" was the first single and the track that made a countdown, and "One Look at You" followed it.
