If you're tired of hearing the same old pop crap on the radio these days, why not spend a little time on the wild side.  The new Smash mouth CD may be just right up your alley.  While relegating this group to one particular music genre is a challenge at best, their sound has many familiar overtones.  Smash mouth gives you a major degree in heavy rock with minor overtones in just about everything else.  From the 60-ish funky sound of  "Walking on the Sun" to the Reggae-like sound of "Let's Rock", to the 50-'s sock hop sound of "The Fonz", there's something for everyone.

Trying to imagine a mixture of all of these sounds plus a juicy twist of headbanger thrown in on the same album  is almost impossible without hearing it.  Take my word for it though, it works! What Smash mouth delivers is a fresh sound that hasn't already been overplayed on every pop station in the nation.  If more talented musicians today dared to be this different, we would have a much better crop of music to choose from.
