What I like about this CD is that it expresses a style of individuality not seen in the nineties, or even in this day and age, especially among the youth of this nation.

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 Made This 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 play with 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-c**-musician Danielle Brisebois contributes background vocals and piano and stands out particularly on the melancholy "I Don't Wanna Die Anymore."

) This CD is outstanding. Not a weak spot on it. Here is the best Power Pop mixed with such variety -upbeat, from the heart, sad, pure fun without being stupid or weak. Despite the efforts to stay out of the lime-light, Gregg Alexander (THE New Radical)has got my attention.
I would buy anything this guy puts out because his obvious love for sound and distain for cliche is such breath of fresh air. Think Brian Wilson or Phil Spector willing to take more risks for the sound end. Add some lyrical edge and wit of Beck (yeah that'll bite me) or desperation and longing of mid 70's Springsteen.
It took a lot of looking to find out what happen to this guy- Go a record store- you'll find nothing. But then I found out he's also the guy put together Carlos Santana's guitar with Michelle Branches vocals on his song "Game of Love" - Got to admit the guy can mix a little bit of this and a little bit of that and come up with real fresh sound.
Why he wrote/produced one of the biggest Pop tunes of the last 3 years under the name Alex Ander is beyond me- maybe he's got some outstanding warrants or is it some witness protection program from the music-mafia? In 'Get what you Give' he has a young turks swing at the music establishment of the Late 90's.
"Fashion shoots
with Beck and Hanson
Courtney Love and Marilyn Manson
You're all fakes
Run to your mansions
Come around
We'll kick your ass in!"
Outside of Rickey Wright is there anyone out there who can't see that someone needs to tell Courtney Love - her boyfriends left the party and it is time for her to go home. People love to watch a train wreck. Marilyn Manson - artist yes, but it's not about the music. In those days Beck got as much attention with his buttoning his shirt to the top/pocket protector look as his catchly word play - and Hanson? SPLAIN IT TOOO ME RICKEY.
All in all- plug in the CD - Crank it up -& just listen. I grew up in Detroit and can hear the true melting pot of sounds here. Sad to think that Detroit is now better known for giving us knockoffs Kid Rock and Eminem.
Gregg Alexander- the world could use more of your music- where are you?

) What I like about this CD is that it expresses a style of individuality not seen in the nineties, or even in this day and age, especially among the youth of this nation.
Gregg alexander has written and recorded, with his group, some very good work that should make people think about what is going on in some parts of society in this country.
As such, I recommend it to anyone who cherishes this music, especially since the New Radicals song, "You Get what You Give", featured on this CD, is one of the great one-hit wonder of the rock era.

There is no other group, that writes songs like this. It's a pity that they've written only one album. Each song has its own energy and all of them are my personal favourites.

) This is a fantastic CD and contains one of my all time favorite songs!!
"You Get What You Give" is one for the AGES and gives me "chill bumps" each time I listen to it. I call it "FELL GOOD" Music!!
