Here begins the Mooney Suzuki's decline. Let's see it. There are three main demographics here: 1. Those who are familiar with the Mooney Suzuki and enjoy them. 2. Those familiar with the Mooney Suzuki who don't like them. 3. Those who have never heard of the Mooney Suzuki. Now, let's see how Alive & Amplified affects each group's take on the Mooney Suzuki: 1. Those who knew and like the Mooney Suzuki are upset. The new CD features very juvenile lyrics. Apparently, they're trying to appeal to a younger/popular music oriented crowd. People who liked Electric Sweat are disappointed, it seems the Mooney Suzuki is selling out. 2. Those who didn't like the Mooney Suzuki have more kindling to burn them with. If they didn't like you the first time around, adding a more rebellious theme is not going to make them change their minds. 3. Those who didn't even know the Mooney Suzuki existed before still have no idea what's going on. Summary: Alienating fans and not quite spicy enough for anyone else, the Mooney Suzuki begins their downward spiral. Sorry guys.Read full review
Alive & Amplified is to Mooney Suzuki what Be here Now is to Oasis, or Give 'em enough rope is to The Clash - a fantastic album with a bad rep, most of it due to production values. Sure, it's overblown, overproduced and super cheesy, but there's enough irony and silliness here that it (narrowly) avoids being just another stupid overly macho punk rock 'n roll album. Naked Lady and Loose and Juicy being two great examples. If you don't mind a little extra cream on top, get it!
