Big Plans for Everybody


Big Plans for Everybody is the second studio album by the American rock band Let's Active, released in 1986 by I.R.S. Records. It was produced by band leader Mitch Easter at his own Drive-In Studio, in Winston-Salem, North Carolina.
It was the band's first album without drummer Sara Romweber, who left the band in 1984.

Critical reception

The Los Angeles Times determined that the album "combines lush, textured melodies with bright-eyed and bushy-tailed vocals." The Chicago Tribune wrote: "It's pop, it's Southern, it's quirky, it's ringing guitars, it's neo-psychedelic, it's haunting." The New York Times concluded that Easter "breaks the symmetry of ordinary pop tunes into irregular phrases, while his lyrics are quizzical and pessimistic." The Philadelphia Inquirer opined that "Easter's rock-group hobby founders this time around on a series of Beatle salutes and a tedious obsession with '60s rock."
