Product Description Formed in San Francisco in 1994 by Roddy Bottum (Faith No More), Lynn Perko (Sister Double Hppiness), Jone Stebbins and Will Schwartz. Their thrid album is a power pop aesthetic of crunchy guitar riffs, classic boy/girl harmonies, soaring meloides, and pure pop lyrics. Produced by the band with help from Steve MacDonald and Ann Waronker. Amazon.com Despite growing a respectable mullet at the height of the band's fame, keyboardist Roddy Bottum never seemed at ease with Faith No More 's menacing rap-rock doctrine. Things haven't been easy since striking out with Imperial Teen in 1996--the group's first two albums, Seasick and 1999's What Is Not to Love, didn't even rack up a fraction of The Real Thing's massive sales. But rather than retreating to safer commercial ground, Bottom and his coed San Francisco crew sound more determined than over on this third album. Employing angular new-wave rhythms, furious pop riffs, and stop-start melodies that gyrate over lines like "Shake, shake, va va voom / vis a vis / Go go I do you, you do me," songs like "Undone" and "Teacher's Pet" evoke the high-gloss punch of early MTV acts like Altered Images and Sparks while steadfastly looking forward. It's not only good fun, but far more illuminating than anything the latter-day nu-metal crybabies are whining on about. --Aidin Vaziri
