2.0 out of 5 stars Cotton-candy synth fluff, February 26, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Inside (Audio CD)

Well, after listening to his later work first, I picked up this album and found it to be a disappointment. This is bland synth-pop, with pleasant, sugary melodies sung in a high, airy style, but absolutely forgettable in every respect. It goes in one ear and out the other and leaves no lasting impression.

Worse, most of the songs sound almost exactly the same. I almost thought the first three songs were all parts of the same song. Throbbing synthesizer eighth-notes on the bottom, innocuous melodies on the top. Yep, it sounds like a lot of the synth-junk that was being put out in the mid-'80s. Oh well, he improved. A LOT.

A mediocre effort from guitar god Matthew Sweet. I bought this album after his latter works (the spectacular "Girlfriend" and "100% Fun"), expecting more of the same, but getting very fluffy pop. It's not bad; it's just not the Matthew Sweet I'd come to know and love. "This Above All" is actually a very pretty song, something that one doesn't normally equate with Sweet. I would recommend this album for completists only.

5.0 out of 5 stars Sweet pop already full of hooks in first effort, November 18, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Inside (Audio CD)

"Inside", Matthew Sweet's first effort shows how 80s pop should have been done. Full of the trademark melodies he would later be praised for, Inside takes a more synth approach and comes up with the happiest, catchiest pop music you will ever hear.
