Шаблон:Infobox album American Highway Flower is the second album by the American band dada, released in 1994. "All I Am" peaked at No. 27 on the Billboard Modern Rock Tracks chart. The album sold more than 50,000 copies during its first year of release.

The band supported the album with a North American tour. The album was reissued in 2004, with bonus tracks, by Blue Cave Records.

Production

The album was produced by Jason Corsaro and the band. The songs were written by Joie Calio and Michael Gurley. The album's original title was Backyard Fruit. "Feet to the Sun" addresses suicide.

Critical reception

Шаблон:Album ratings Trouser Press wrote that "the sweet harmonizing on '8 Track' is notable, but American Highway Flower feels too long by at least twenty minutes." The Indianapolis Star noted that "dada mixes a knack for fine pop with clever lyrics and traditional American guitar rock." The Washington Post thought that the "eclecticism seems a little too labored, and Dada is more often clever than committed."

The Milwaukee Sentinel determined that, "at their most satisfying, Dada reminds us of a Dire Straits for the '90s, thanks to Michael Gurley's artful guitar work." The St. Louis Post-Dispatch praised the "several concise and memorable pop tunes." The Star Tribune concluded that "Dada is full of all kinds of 1980s progressive-rock touchstones—from the two-part pop harmonies to the rocking guitar solos to the well-crafted hooks."

AllMusic wrote that the band's disciplined use of harmony is a rare find in the alt-rock world, and continues to define their sound."
