In the 1970s and '80s,
Sparks
' American fans couldn't understand why
Ron
and
Russell Mael
weren't as big in the United States as they were in England. "Why don't more of our fellow Americans realize just how great these guys are?" was the question that
Sparks
addicts in the U.S. often found themselves asking. Whatever the reason, British audiences really connected with
Sparks
' goofy, insanely clever lyrics -- and the fact that
Russell Mael
sings like he could be an eccentric upper-class Englishman (although he was born and raised in Los Angeles) probably didn't hurt.
Indiscreet
, which was the
Mael
brothers' third album for
Island
and their fifth album overall, is state-of-the-art
Sparks
. The
power pop
melodies are consistently infectious, and the lyrics are as humorous as one expects
Sparks
lyrics to be -- nutty gems like
"Pineapple,"
"Happy Hunting Ground,"
"Tits,"
and
"Get in the Swing"
will easily appeal to those who like to think of
Russell
and
Ron
as the
pop/rock
equivalent of
Monty Python's Flying Circus
. Like other
Sparks
releases of the '70s,
Indiscreet
did much better in England than it did on the North American side of the Atlantic. In the U.S., this 1975 LP appealed to a small but enthusiastic cult following -- in Great Britain,
Indiscreet
was a big seller and appealed to a much larger and broader audience. Over the years,
Sparks
has experimented with everything from
hard rock
to Euro-
disco
. But
power pop
is the primary focus of
Indiscreet
, which went down in history as one of the band's best '70s albums. [The 2006 reissue features four bonus tracks.] ~ Alex Henderson, All Music Guide
