Review

We Use Our Hands is the best outing for Shitar since Long Way Home, and also one of their most underrated efforts.  Again, their are no superstars here, but loads of talent--much like the 1998 New York Yankees, though not quite as prolific.  Mark Mistysyn is back as a part-time guitarist and does admirable work.  This makes Matt Gorney's guitar playing somewhat expendable although he still wields a mean axe.  The songwriting happy Matt also plays bass on the entire album.  John contributes some of his strongest work on recent efforts with I Guess I Like You and the top-40 smash Hide it Away.

Rating (Out of *****)
