Nothing Is Underrated

Nothing Is Underrated is the second solo album by Fugazi bassist Joe Lally. As the follow-up to Lally's debut, There to Here, it stylistically similar in its woody, bass-oriented grooves. Much like its predecessor, Nothing Is Underrated features various members of Washington D.C. groups such as Faraquet, the Capitol City Dusters, Medications, The Out Circuit, the Delta 72, Capillary Action, Rites of Spring, and Lally's band mates in Fugazi. Reception In a review for AllMusic, Chris True wrote: "While There to Here was a slightly jarring affair, best described as an artist suddenly out on his own and finding his feet, Nothing Is Underrated is Lally a bit more comfortable... [it] is a fine record that shows, without a doubt, that Lally is continuing to grow as an artist on his own." Pitchfork'''s Tom Breihan commented: "The main problem here, if it's a problem at all, is that Nothing Is Underrated never sounds anything less than pleasant, which means it always sounds polite... the sense of near-messianic purpose that drove Fugazi is missed... [it] is an easy record to like but a hard one to love."
