Now it’s All This! Review on Absolute Power Pop

Posted on Nov 9, 2017 | 0 comments

10 years later, Swirsky and Ruekberg have decided to commemorate their partnership by releasing Now it’s All This!*, a 2-disc compilation that consists of those two full-length albums on disc one, and a second disc that features an EP of 6 new songs and 4 additional “unplugged” (I use the quotation marks because they don’t sound that unplugged) versions of tracks from the first two albums.

Now, they’ve remastered the pair and packaged them with a sparkly new EP. “Now It’s All This!” features six new tracks plus four unplugged takes on Button classics like “Picture” and “It’s No Secret.”

Writing melodic pop comes naturally for Swirsky.

“I grew up listening to that kind of music,” Swirsky says. “Two and a half minute pop songs. The hook came around three times. That’s what I deeply loved.”

Think not just The Beatles but The Monkees, The Byrds and Mott the Hoople.

“Now It’s All This” is a wonderful encapsulation of what the Red Button stands for. Hooks, harmonies, and catchy melodies are all addictive mind candy for those with that sweet tooth for pop, and it’s all found right here. I like to call it “Buttonmania”, and with this collection from the Red Button, it’s going to spread.

The bottom line is Seth Swirsky and Mike Ruckberg are two dynamic songwriting masters/talents, full stop.  One listen to The Red Button’s new Jem Records release, Now It’s All This!, will tell you all you need to know – all this musical goodness is courtesy of The Red Button.

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.

The remastered discs make Now It’s All This! Something of a retrospective, too. There’s something here for everybody. Speaking of which, everyone has that friend who no longer listens to new music because “they don’t record anything good any more”. Send them a gift. Buy then a copy of Now It’s All This! And let ‘em know what they’ve been missing. They’ll love you for it.

This album is power-pop at it’s very best. It’ll take you back with the good feelings of the songs from the 60’s, 70’s,  and 80’s while still being able to stand up to the very best in today’s pop music. Whether you download it or buy the actual CD, you’re going to love it! And for that reason…

I rate this CD, 4 out of 4 Beetles!

The six new songs leave you hopeful of a third album from the duo. With the exception of Solitude Saturday, these songs are even more Lennon McCartney like and the former could be Al Stewart. I really can’t recommend this double disc affair any higher than just to tell you to get your wallet out tout de suite.

The new material is absolutely consistent, “Can’t Let Candy Go” and “Tracy’s Party” has the Rickenbacker riffs, and hook-filled melodies that never get old. The gentle jangling ballad “Tell Me It’s Over” is a heartbreaker about waiting for expected rejection. Seth’s winsome “Solitude Saturday” has a rich orchestral approach, and the title track is a fitting finale. The unplugged tracks are very close to the originals, but “Genevieve” actually sounds much better without the studio mixing. We have already reviewed The Red Button’s She’s About To Cross My Mind, and As Far As Yesterday Goes and it goes without saying this talented duo is essential listening.
