This CD is outstanding. Not a weak spot on it. Here is the best Power Pop mixed with such variety -upbeat, from the heart, sad, pure fun without being stupid or weak. Despite the efforts to stay out of the lime-light, Gregg Alexander (THE New Radical)has got my attention. I would buy anything this guy puts out because his obvious love for sound and distain for cliche is such breath of fresh air. Think Brian Wilson or Phil Spector willing to take more risks for the sound end. Add some lyrical edge and wit of Beck (yeah that'll bite me) or desperation and longing of mid 70's Springsteen. It took a lot of looking to find out what happen to this guy- Go a record store- you'll find nothing. But then I found out he's also the guy put together Carlos Santana's guitar with Michelle Branches vocals on his song "Game of Love" - Got to admit the guy can mix a little bit of this and a little bit of that and come up with real fresh sound. Why he wrote/produced one of the biggest Pop tunes of the last 3 years under the name Alex Ander is beyond me- maybe he's got some outstanding warrants or is it some witness protection program from the music-mafia? In 'Get what you Give' he has a young turks swing at the music establishment of the Late 90's. "Fashion shoots with Beck and Hanson Courtney Love and Marilyn Manson You're all fakes Run to your mansions Come around We'll kick your ass in!" Outside of Rickey Wright is there anyone out there who can't see that someone needs to tell Courtney Love - her boyfriends left the party and it is time for her to go home. People love to watch a train wreck. Marilyn Manson - artist yes, but it's not about the music. In those days Beck got as much attention with his buttoning his shirt to the top/pocket protector look as his catchly word play - and Hanson? SPLAIN IT TOOO ME RICKEY. All in all- plug in the CD - Crank it up -& just listen. I grew up in Detroit and can hear the true melting pot of sounds here. Sad to think that Detroit is now better known for giving us knockoffs Kid Rock and Eminem. Gregg Alexander- the world could use more of your music- where are you?Vollständige Rezension lesen
What I like about this CD is that it expresses a style of individuality not seen in the nineties, or even in this day and age, especially among the youth of this nation. Gregg alexander has written and recorded, with his group, some very good work that should make people think about what is going on in some parts of society in this country. As such, I recommend it to anyone who cherishes this music, especially since the New Radicals song, "You Get what You Give", featured on this CD, is one of the great one-hit wonder of the rock era.
