Album Notes & Community Reviews

Lit achieved massive, inescapable mainstream radio and MTV success with this deeply polished major-label debut[cite: 1]. Heavily anchored by the enduring pop-punk anthem 'My Own Worst Enemy', the album is filled with highly energetic, hook-laden alternative rock songs tailored directly for late-90s youth culture[cite: 1].
