Mother we just can't get enough (New Radicals) (LP 3353)

New Radicals  Maybe You've Been Brainwashed Too (CD, MCA Records, 1998) ***  

Genre: Pop rock

Places I remember: JB Hi Fi (sale bins)

Fab, and all the other pimply hyperboles: You Get What You Give

Gear costume: Someday We'll Know

They loom large in his legend (The Album Collection playlists): Part 1; Part 2; Part 3; Part 4; Part 5

Active compensatory factors: You Get What You Give was my gateway to this album. That is one great song and marks them out as one hit wonders, but what a hit!

The band was short lived and centred on the duo of Gregg Alexander (lead vocals, guitar, songwriting, production) and Danielle Brisebois (keyboards, percussion, backing vocals), augmented by session and touring musicians.

The rest of the album has a bright sparkly set of songs, but there is nothing of the same instant quality as You get What You Give. They really peaked with that one song!

Where do they all belong? This was their only album.
