content: One of the benefactors of the New Hype is this NYC quartet. On their second release, Electric Sweat, The Mooney Suzuki stomp on the shoulders of rock giants. MC5, Rolling Stones, The Who, The Kinks - all are in attendance in these ten cuts of varying power and effectiveness. I like their energy and enthusiasm, especially on the mewling title track, but recoil from Sammy James Jr.'s sub-Hendrix echo-chamber of a voice. They're derivative: big deal. I just wish this record didn't sound like it was recorded in 1969 and lost in a vault until now.
