100% FUN Matthew Sweet
(out of four stars)
Matthew Sweet is good. He's the
kind of musician that doesn't rely upon
techno-junky synthesizers and prefabricated
tunes as some sort of mainstay.
Rather, he relies upon himself.
On Sweet's latest release, "100%
Fun," he manages to play at least two
instruments on every song, as well
as provide vocals - like he has done
on most of his releases such as "GirlMend"
and "Altered Beast." Yet, on
"100% Fun," Sweet turns some of the
duties over to the more than capable
Brendan O'Brien.
O'Brien, who is known primarily
for his work with producing and mixing
Pearl Jam, lends his piano and
guitar talents to each of Sweefs songs.

Stuart Johnson on drums and Greg
Leisz on mandolin, lap guitar and
pedal steel guitar.
With all the aid Sweet gets from
these artists on "100% Fun," the true
quality of this compact disc reverts
back to the fact that Sweet manages
to dominate most songs with his vocals
and guitar contributions. The
latest release off this CD, "We're The
Same," exemplifies this. On this particular
song, Sweet plays the electric
rhythm guitar, the electric 12-string
rhythm and lead guitars, the acoustic
guitar, the electric bass and handles
the vocals.
"We're Die Same" is a great choice
for another reason - its poppy lyrics.
Sweet is, for no other description, a

purely pop song writer. He writes
about love in almost every song mixing
it with death ("Lost My Mind"),
sadness ("Giving It Back"), hate ("Not
When I Need If) and dedication ("Sick
of Myself).
Deep within the sugary sweet lyrics
of love, Sweet manages to be a bit poetic.
For example in "I Almost Forgot":
"You would never turn around \
You're laughing at everything\Thafs
bringing me down \ Did you say you
loved me?\I almost forgot \ I almost
forgot." Well, he's poetic in a rhyming
sense.
Anyway, "100% Fun" is a good attempt
at redemption, which Sweet
seems to be doing after his "Altered _
Beast" CD that was chock-hill of upbeat
emotions such as self pity and .
loathing. Sweet seems to be getting
back in the successful "Girlfriend"
mode that seemed to work more than I
well for him.
