[SACD-R][OF] Matthew Sweet - 100% Fun - 1995/2018 (Indie Rock, Alternative Rock, Power Pop)

Expanded edition with 7 bonus tracks.
Intervention's 19-track Expanded Edition SACD set is the defining presentation of this great album sonically and in all other respects!
"100% Fun is Direcct-to-DSD Mastered from the Original Master Tapes by Ryan K. Smith at Sterling Sound. The Master Tapes are 30ips 1/2" analog reels, and the seven bonus tracks are on their own reel. Intervention's cut is big, punchy and dynamic with plenty of producer Brendan O'Brien signature crunch completely intact. Matthew's amazing vocals really shine here amid the layered densities of O'Brien's mix. A big, bold improvement over the 1990s original LP, and so much better than the CD as to make that comparison a total farce." - from the Intervention Records web site.

1995's 100% Fun is the third leg of Matthew Sweet's Holy Trinity of Power Pop! Produced by Brendan O'Brien, it's a densely-layered production full of grinding guitars, heavy bass lines and BIG drum sounds.
"... an album that rocks its worries away without ever getting rid of them." -Stephen Thomas Erlewine, All Music
"...a classic power-pop record full of chiming guitar, powerful hooks and sing-a-long choruses ... a record I keep coming back to year after year ..." -DS Barrett

All Music Review
Clocking in at 45 minutes, Matthew Sweet’s third record of guitar-dominated, hook-laden power pop runs through its 12 songs at a classic speed, piling up songs that lovingly conform to the three-minute pop tradition. Richard Lloyd’s gnarled guitars save Sweet’s melodies and harmonies from being saccharine or sappy. Behind Sweet’s bright hooks lies something darker — the self-loathing of “Sick of Myself” and the mental manipulation of “We’re the Same” aren’t evident from the sound of the record, which obliterates any hidden meanings with its chiming guitars and driving rhythms. It might not have the consistent barrage of great songs like Girlfriend, yet it tames the wilder impulses of Altered Beast into an album that rocks its worries away without ever getting rid of them.
