This album = "In Reverse" (1999)
Next album = "" (2000)"In Reverse" is the seventh album by
alternative rock musicianMatthew Sweet . It was released on Volcano Records in 1999. While not known as one of his most impressive albums via sales, it does attempt some unconventional tracking. Sweet combines three bass guitar lines on the song "Thunderstorm", and other selections, such as "If Time Permits", hint of sound/song reversal as implied in the album's title [http://www.popmatters.com/music/reviews/s/sweetmatthew-in.shtml] . Effectively, Sweet attempts to reverse subtle would-be conventional pop riffs and solos to make them sound like they are being played backwards. Some may find this ironic because Sweet's conventional sound, which was established on his first six albums, still endures and remains distinctive.Track listing
