Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review

Veteran singer/songwriter/producer Gregg Alexander found the perfect formula for catchy, disposable pop songs with the inordinately hooky single "You Get What You Give", which owes more than a little to World Party. It's a pity, then, that the rest of the album doesn't live up to the promise of the one song--but then, it's somewhat fitting for an album from a 'band' that never consisted of anyone other than Alexander. Not too long after the album came out, he retired the name to concentrate on producing others. --Bucky Wunderlick


CD Description

On their debut MAYBE YOU'VE BEEN BRAINWASHED TOO, New Radicals meld sweeping hooks with aggressive harmonies and large dollops of stream-of-consciousness soul. Wunderkid Gregg Alexander is essentially New Radicals, with a voice that bounces between Karl Wallinger's husky rasp and Billy Corgan's nasal whine. His songs go by such odd monikers as "Jehovah MadeThis Whole Joint For You" and "Crying Like a Church On Monday". Having grown up with parents who switched religions like most people changed channels, it's no accident that Alexander avoids using heavy-handed didactic aphorisms to get his point across. Instead, his songwriting ranges from a tilt towards life's great mysteries (Amelia Earhardt's disappearance and the existence of Atlantis on "Someday We'll Know") to extolling the virtues of individualism in the face of media overload (the title track).
Throughout, New Radicals playwith an exuberance reminiscent of Style Council's breezier moments ("Mother We Just Can't Get Enough") and the blue-eyed soulful side of Todd Rundgren ("In Need Of A Miracle".) Actress-cum-musician Danielle Brisebois contributes backgroundvocals and piano and stands out particularly on the melancholy "I Don't Wanna Die Anymore".

5.0 out of 5 stars Some clarity, 12 Oct 2006
By Mr. Paul M. Turner "paulturner10" (Taunton Somerset UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
After reading a semi negative view from Amazon I feel incensed to write some kind of defence, my first review though i listen to a lot of music.. I first heard this album when visiting the states and my brother had it, four years later i still play it, its the first album in my car CD collection, and in fact despite CD's being sold as indestructible, something we have all come to realise is a slight fabrication..!! I have problems with two of the tracks and came onto Amazon to look at purchasing a replacement.. Now, i have to say.. I have never before had to replace a CD, so I'm still not tired of these haunting melodies and the depth buried in the lyrics.. This album is probably my all time favourite album, i never tire of it.. thing is, neither does my wife, and nor do my children (15 and 13)
There's a message in every song, not always there to tell you what to do, but to tell you how frustrated or elated or a myriad of other human emotions, experienced by the writer.
Don't expect to love it from the first second, you wont hate it, some of it you wont understand, but you will grow to love it.
Paul

5.0 out of 5 stars Definetly one of the best albums in a long time., 29 Jun 2000
By A Customer
This is a brilliant album, however don't buy it based on the one big hit 'U get what u give' as it is very different from the rest of the material on the album. Have a listen and you'll discover the songwriting talent of Gregg, the album is a real mix of songs which take a while to get into but once you do it's an album u won't be able to stop playing. I bought it over 6 months ago and still love it. Listen out for 'Someday we'll know' and 'Jehovah made this whoel joint for you'. It's a pity they had to split but Gregg was more keen on producing than performing (shame what a great voice!) but it's good to know that he's still writing great songs (Life is a Rollercoaster - sung by Ronan Keating). Definetly buy 'Maybe You've been Brainwashed too' it's well worth it!

5.0 out of 5 stars Aural Sunshine..., 2 Feb 2004
By Neil "Celtic Soul Boy" (Ipswich, England) - See all my reviews
This is a cracking album all the way through - You Get What You Give obviously stands out as a seminal feel good 'anthem'- but the remaining material is also exceptionally strong, catchy, inspirational and universally well-produced. Gregg doesn't do himself any favours by leading in on tracks such as 'Mother...' and 'Ihope...' with some wilfully obscure vocals but the overall effect is still beguiling. 'Someday we'll know' is an execptionally moving and wistful ballad - why on earth Mr Alexander is wasting his time producing lightweights like Ronan Keating rather than making another album like this one I'll never know - Go on Gregg let's have another - and in the meantime why not buy this one?
