Info:
1992's Groovus Maximus was the second album from Swedish funk metal act Electric Boys. The band had a hit with their 1990 debut album Funk-O-Metal Carpet Ride, which was released just in time for mainstream radio's brief fascination with funk metal (back when you heard names like Bang Tango and Mindfunk in the same sentence as the Red Hot Chili Peppers).
Groovus Maximus picks up right where Funk-O-Metal Carpet Ride left off, with a bass-heavy, funk-inspired hair metal sound with plenty of horns. Like nearly all Swedish rock albums (I think it's written in their constitution), Groovus Maximus is a very melodic album. It's also, unfortunately, an uneven album. There are some genuinely memorable songs on the album, like Bed of Roses or the Beatles-esque Mary in the Mystery World, but there is a lot of filler as well. I'm not a huge fan of this kind of music, but the band's debut album impressed me in a way that this album just fails to do.
