Inside (Matthew Sweet album)

The album was recorded in multiple studios with a large number of producers and musicians, including Bernie Worrell, Chris Stamey, Scott Litt, Don Dixon, and Aimee Mann, among others. ==Critical reception==

Trouser Press called the album "a bit like R.E.M. and early dB’s doing sincere power-pop with keyboards." The Rolling Stone Album Guide wrote that the songs "come across like the snappy work of a brainy Tommy James." == Track listing ==
