What makes for a good rock n roll band? And what makes The Mooney Suzuki untilimately a dissapointing musical venture? Electric Sweat is 35 mins of rock n roll. Its perfectly good but there is something missing. The band is simply too beholden to it's idols: The MC5.
Is it the number of influences. Does a band need a variety of sources. The Black Angels are great because they beldn the Velvets with Spaceman 3 and add their own Vietnam oil ooze. Maybe The Mooney Suzuki need more influences and their own ideas. But then icelandic band Singapore Sling copy The Jesus & Mary Chain squeal for squeal and come out triumphant. Is it personality? Because The Mooney Suzuki dont seem to have one. But then Black Rebel Motorcycle Club might as well be guitar wielding shadows. They walk the walk but they dont talk the talk. Maybe this is where the problem lies. Maybe The Mooney Suzuki's songs simply arent good enough. Hard working, knowledgeable performers but lacking the extra sprinkle of talent that sets aaprt the B graders and the A graders. I think this is where the problem lies: the 21st century is loaded with bands that pilfer the past but succeed at overcoming this burden of debt. Maybe the Mooney Suzuki need to burn their idols instead of living in their shadow. This is rock n roll... but ultimately safe... one quality rock n roll should not have.
Not that I want to be harsh: it is a good solid album and worth a couple of quid but it just has this hollow sensation. It may be dowsed in Eletric Sweat but the pulse isnt racing.
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.
