	Amazon.com: Son of Altered Beast: Music: Matthew Sweet
		More like "Son of the Marketing Beast." Yet another spin-off disc from the "Altered Beast" release.
		The live versions of "Superdeformed" and "Knowing People" are nice and punchy, while the languid take of "Someone to Pull the Trigger" (with Greg Leisz adding more great pedal steel) seems to out-ache the "Altered Beast" rendition - though it's still a pale imitation of the demo version available on the "Goodfriend" CD.
		The remix, of "Devil With the Green Eyes" probably sounds different than the "Altered Beast" version, but I couldn't really say how.

	Matthew Sweet Interviews - Altered Beast/Son Of Altered Beast
		Altered Beast included two quotes from the Malcolm McDowell cult classic; one, where members of the Roman Senate, first hesitantly, and then with unanimous concord, vote to proclaim Caligula a god starts off Side Two of the album.
		Altered Beast retains the sonic elements that made Girlfriend so exciting: the buzzing guitars of Robert Quine and Richard Lloyd, the heavily compressed mix that gives the instruments a thrilling clarity, and a sense of conceptual unity in which songs seem to play off and respond to one another.
		Altered Beast falls in line with the evolution Sweet is allowing in his music and in his life.

	Record Company Bios - Altered Beast/Son Of Altered Beast
		On his new album Altered Beast, Matthew Sweet explores the thin line between man and animal, heaven and earth, love and hate, success and failure with an acerbic wit, a razor-sharp pop edge and a renewed perspective.
		Recorded in early 1993, Altered Beast was the flipside of the singer's sweeter, introspective Girlfriend.
		An odds-and-ends collection of remixes, live performances and studio outtakes, Son of Altered Beast (Son of A Beast for short) is a bonanza for Sweet fans.

	Amazon.com: Altered Beast: Music: Matthew Sweet
		Beautiful and sad, this is my favorite of Matthew Sweet's albums, along with the related EP "Son of Altered Beast." Perhaps it is my favorite album, period.
		I almost wish he hadn't later found love and happiness, if it would have meant more like this.

	Matthew Sweet Biography
		His most recent album 100% Fun (Zoo, 1995) while not as critically acclaimed as Girlfriend or the subsequent Altered Beast (Zoo, 1993) is, in my opinion, his best album yet, full of killer hooks, absolutely gorgeous harmonies, and perfect pop arrangements that allow the guitar playing to augment the music rather than dominate it.
		His third album, Girlfriend (Zoo, 1992), was a radical change of style, showcasing stunning lead guitar playing from Richard Lloyd and Robert Quine (both from the original 70s New York punk scene, and two of the best guitarists in rock and roll history), and more importantly, a newfound confidence that made his pop songs sparkle.
		Taken together, the five albums he made during the ‘90s can be seen as a young man’s spiritual journey, an old soul’s compendium of insights and a neoclassic epic from the decade’s ultimate pop formalist.

		The Matthew Sweet album discography - "Inside" (Columbia, 1986); "Earth" (A&M, 1989); "Girlfriend" (Zoo, 1991); "Altered Beast" (1993); "Son of Altered Beast" EP (1994); "100% Fun" (1995); "Blue Sky On Mars" (1997); "In Reverse" (Volcano, 1999); "Time Capsule: The Best of Matthew Sweet, 1990-2000" (2000).
		Sweet is just thankful he has fulfilled his final contractual obligation to the label previously known as Zoo Entertainment.
		I thought since it was a 10-year compilation, it was fitting to kind of reprise her role on it.

	Book Matthew Sweet for Event, Meeting, Gala
		Sweet released a mini album entitled Son of Altered Beast in 1994 in North America only.
		Sweet was something of a music prodigy and signed to CBS in 1985, who released his debut album, Inside, the following year.
		Sweet has been embraced as something of an icon by the new Power Pop movement as evidenced by the style of new releases by groups such as Fountains of Wayne and Silver Sun.

		But '93 follow-up Altered Beast drew mixed reviews and didn't take off on the charts or on the air.
		Sweet even carries that disorienting vibe to the album's CD jacket, which is printed upside down, with the track list appearing in a different order than on the disc.
		Sweet expects the album will include fourteen songs ("I guess I'm hoping so, because everyone complains to me the last one was too short," he says) and be out some time this fall.

	Nude as the News: Uncle Green: Book Of Bad Thoughts
		RiYL: Brad, Matthew Sweet's Altered Beast, 3 lb.
		Book Of Bad Thoughts is a little-heard gem -- a '90s rock record of the highest order that turned out to be Uncle Green's last album proper.
		However, in a mysterious turn, the full four-piece band would resurface in 1995 under the name of 3 lb.

		This brought to mind a favorite Matthew Sweet video of mine, for the song "Time Capsule," from Altered Beast, in which Matthew is shown covered in insects.
		Two months before the album was released, that was already becoming a familiar sight to the band.
		Since then he has managed (with the help of some of the most talented musicians and producers in the world) to prove twice more his ability to put together fun, hook-laden pop albums.
