Hugh Dillon — Works Well With Others

Few Can-rock comebacks are more pitiful than Hugh Dillon's constant attempts to resurrect his post-Headstones musical career.

Nothing here even resembles, let alone equals that great first Headstones album. I remember Hugh Dillon as the guy who sang tough shit like "God loves me/God loves you/God loves Hitler and them six million Jews," not this sad sap who views his diary as publishable material.

Dillon's biggest failing is in believing he's this twisted, complex guy. He even named one track "Puzzle I Am." But if anything, the dude's obviously plain and boring. You get the feeling on Works Well With Others that he doesn't even care about the music anymore, maybe the lyrics, but definitely not the music.

Dillon and his producer, Hip guitarist Paul Langois, back Dillon's "insights" with sonic wallpaper, filling the space with just enough sound to allow it to be defined as a song.

I swear, this guy was so much more interesting when he was on heroin.
