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
