The retro-rock of the Mooney Suzuki's second album, Electric Sweat, combines the soul and authenticity of Motor City's Dirtbombs and Detroit Cobras with the garage-rock simplicity of fellow New Yorkers the Strokes (two members of which reportedly auditioned unsuccessfully for the Moonies). The album's 10 tracks are littered with big riffs, fuzzy guitars, repeated harmonies, feedback squalls, and angst- and hormone-fed lyrics that pay homage to the MC5, the Stooges, and the best of the four-chord singles featured on the Nuggets and Nuggets II box sets, with some Booker T.-style organ and a couple of gentler, janglier numbers thrown in for good measure. Is this a groundbreaking, innovative album? Well, no. But it is an album that just plain rocks put together by four guys who clearly still believe that loud, danceable, '60s-style rock & roll can soothe pain, eliminate confusion, and induce rapture. If you're a believer, you need to hear this album--it could become your New Testament. --Steve Halloran

Dudes. What? Are you kidding me? This is so bad it's almost funny. As a comedy album it is somewhat funny. So bad. It's fake rock. and to take their name from one of the greatest bands in the world. Worst ever. I'm laughing right now. What is it people see in these guys? I don't know. The Deep Purple of the 2000;s = Worst ever.

This album is rock `n roll...pure and simple. It is raw, energetic and very real. It is so much better than their new major label debut "Alive & Amplified" which sounds nothing like this. There are a lot of great retro CD's out there right now but this is the best I've heard. This album should win an award for `most great guitar riffs per mile' not to mention some great distorted guitar sounds to cleanse your ears with. Like any great `60's garage rock album, this includes two rocking instrumentals ... Read More

The Mooney Suzuki is another great band from NYC. They are high energy, explosive and cocky as well. Although this album doesnt give off as good of an example of their attitude as their first album, People Get Ready, it is an excellent buy. Each song is a gem in their own right and the heart-wrenching ballad The Broken Heart is one of the most beautiful songs I've ever heard. Sammy James Jr. is a very soulful man, and he might as well be a preacher because he has given me faith in Rock'n'Roll many'o'times.
