4.0 out of 5 stars No synthing--just guitars!, July 25, 2000
By 
Kevin Gamble (Columbia, MO USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Sideways (Audio CD)
What a shocker this album was--gone are all the electro dance beats of their 80s heyday, replaced by loud guitars and live drums. The kicker--it's a really good album. The title track is loads of fun, and the styles range from gentle country-rock ("Fall Down Gently") to lovely ballads ("Everybody Wants to Know") to an improbable-but-highly successful cover ("I am the Walrus"--it sounds great!). It's an up-tempo, energetic album which shows that at its heart, this band was always about making good, thoughtful, and most of all fun music--regardless of what sounds they use.

5.0 out of 5 stars They actually pulled it off!, February 24, 2005
This review is from: Sideways (Audio CD)
When the 90's came along, synthpop went out of fashion. And some former synthpop bands found themselves playing guitars in order to stay 'in fashion' (ie sell out). The BIGGEST problem with this was that many of these bands ended up losing what made them great in the first place. That something wasn't really synthesizers. But rather, that fun-loving energy they had as synthpop bands. All too often, the music became slower and more serious in a stupid attempt to be more 'substantial' and less 'frivolous' (they became more pretentious, really). The end result was typically alienation of older fans without gaining younger ones (as they were considered an 'old' and 'uncool' band by younger folks). On the other hand, Men Without Hats managed to change their instrumentation without losing the essence of what they were. And for this, I applaud them.

5.0 out of 5 stars Thank God I got it when I did!, March 5, 2009
By 
Dave (Missouri, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Sideways (Audio CD)
I see that, finally, the "black sheep" of the Men's album lineup has been discontinued by the manufacturer. I'm glad I ordered and got it four years ago! I can't understand why people won't let bands and singers try something new every once in a while. Sure, the ditched the sound that made them famous, but come on, this album ROCKS! I love the title track and In the Meadow is just beautiful. Even their version of I am The Walrus is worthy to have been done, quite a feat to pull off a decent cover of the Beatles (and I don't generally like covers!). It's a shame that more people didn't give this a chance back in the day, and now will probably never get the chance to.
