Balls is the 18th album by the American rock band Sparks, released in 2000. It's a Knockoff" was recorded for the movie Knock Off, starring Jean-Claude Van Damme, directed by the acclaimed Hong Kong based producer/director Tsui Hark (who had appeared on his own tribute song by the band on the album Gratuitous Sax & Senseless Violins).
Album · 2003 · 9 Songs. Two albums later, on Lil’ Beethoven, they took it further, building new songs with layers of grand piano and generous washes of shimmering strings, stacking vocal tracks to sound like lofty choirs, and generally sounding way smarter than your average pop band. The humor is as pointed as ever, exemplified by the stage-worthy Suburban Homeboy with plentiful strings and horns and Ride ‘Em Cowboy ’s rock-opera tale of a guy down on his luck

On Lil' Beethoven, by nearly totally avoiding drums, their wry lyrics and intricate, driving full orchestrations provide an infectious intimacy that draw the listener in and demands repeated listenings. The Rhythm Thief" is the very best among a very good set of songs - it truly has hit potential. Wouldn't that be something?

Lil' Beethoven is the 19th album by the American rock band Sparks, released in 2002. By 2002, Sparks had released eighteen albums, the last several of them in the new wave/synthpop vein. While this had been successful, breaking them in the US with 1983's "Cool Places" and in Germany with "When Do I Get To Sing 'My Way'?" in 1995, it had not secured them much critical acclaim or a consistent audience.

Lil' Beethoven does stand as one of the most substantial albums in the sprawling Sparks catalog because of its massive reach, but that reach will serve to alienate just as many listeners as it charms but, oh hell, who are we kidding? Sparks couldn't be any more of a cult act than they already are, and this (like every record they've put out for years) is very much intended for that cult, for everyone who's been following the plot all along. The album's opener, "The Rhythm Thief", does a good job summarizing the sonic direction of Lil' Beethoven through the lines "I am the rhythm thief, Say goodbye to the beat" and a multi-tracked chorus responding "oh, no, where did the groove go?" The drama is bolstered by a swarming string section, creating the aura of genuine drama - that whoever this "The Rhythm Thief" is, he really did steal the rhythm, and that the people are truly worried.
