Sweet's desperation culminates in the semi-delusional vibe ebbing from \"Lost My Mind\": while Menck plays a constant militaristic cadence, Quine and Lloyd riff in and out of the song and O'Brien's mellotron pulses and oozes in a vortex that has Sweet's voice ebbing in and out of a fog.\u003cbr\u003eWhile the scenery around this part of Sweet's psyche may seem familiar, the tight production and crack playing groove enough to shed some light on this darker side of town.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReleased: 5\/4\/2015\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGenre: Rock\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormat: Vinyl\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Matthew Sweet","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44586949902569,"sku":"0PZ6RT-ZHZL-00","price":33.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0654\/3523\/8633\/products\/matthew-sweet-100-fun_3DfUv.jpg?v=1737884374","url":"https:\/\/www.vibinvinyl.com\/products\/matthew-sweet-100-fun","provider":"Vibin' Vinyl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
