READYSEXGO is an absolutely killer slice of pop/punk/metal. Marvelous 3 are essentially Cheap Trick retooled for the 21st century, although these guys also have the sex-and-drugs misogynist attitude of mid-'80s hair metal bands (which may explain why Motley Crue's Nikki Sixx makes a cameo here on an answering machine message). High class musical references abound, such as Def Leppard and Queen in some of the choruses, Material Issue and Green Day in some of the guitar parts, plus hints of '70s glam (which may explain why "Cigarette Lighter Love Song," co-written with David Bowie, has a chorus which sounds suspiciously like "All the Young Dudes.") |
|
The bottom line is that even though these guys are loutish enough to put an inflatable sex doll on the cover, they're also capable of wit and wordplay (see "This Time"), and they're terrific tunesmiths--nearly every song here has an insanely catchy hook scattered somewhere about its person. Don't miss the hidden bonus track; it may begin with a radio announcer reading the album's credits, but after about four minutes it segues into a dance remix of the ninth track, "I'm Losing You." |
Producer: Butch Walker; Jerry Finn |
