Sideways

Men Without Hats

A radical pivot from synth-pop to gritty alternative rock. Heavy guitars and raw baritone vocals replace the bright electronics of the eighties.

April 30, 1991 · Mercury

A gritty, defiant rejection of pop polish in favor of raw, guitar-driven catharsis.

Moments Worth Listening For
The jarring transition from synth-pop expectations to the heavy, distorted guitar crunch opening the album.
Ivan Doroschuk's baritone stretching into a raw, gravelly shout during the climax of Harry Crews.
The psychedelic, slightly chaotic reimagining of I Am the Walrus that strips away the whimsy for something more aggressive.
Where This Album DepartsEach spoke is a trait. The orange shape shows where this album pulls away from — or holds to — the rest of the artist’s catalogue. Tap for more.
