Review

An album often overlooked in the Shitar catalogue, No Dogs Allowed is the model of consistency.  There is no other album in all of Shitar's past that offers as much equal input from all three band members.  Mark Mistysyn makes a strong showing with 4-and-a-half lead vocals, his most ever.  Another Shitar comedic tune, Turkey & Cheese received plenty of airplay nationally.  Other tunes like Anymore, Hedgehog and No Dogs Allowed also did well on the charts. One can't help be impressed with with the virtuosity of Stimulate," a song that allows the band the freedom to let loose musically.  There are, however, some weak songs on this album.  But overall, another base hit for Shitar.

Rating (Out of *****)
