Start with the sing along title track, then enjoy the rest of the album, full of very witty song structures and Beach Boys and Beatle-esque melodies. "The Way Lazy Do," "Old Ways," and "Worst Trip" are all top-notch tunes, and the songwriting is always challenging, always looking for novel ways to tell a story, both lyrically and instrumentally.

It's a small wonder that Dr. Dog has grabbed the attention of the mainstream (network TV shows, Rolling Stone, etc.) media on this release. There's just something so familiar yet novel about the band's music and worldview. In its 38-odd minutes, We All Belong is capable of taking you back and keeping you in the moment.
