 Marcy PlaygroundLeaving Wonderland...In a Fit of Rage Release Date 2009 07 07 Label Woz Records Rating:  Initially conceived as the sophomore solo album by singer/songwriter John Wozniak, Marcy Playground's fourth album, Leaving Wonderland...In a Fit of Rage, never quite shakes the feeling of being the work of one man: acoustic guitars outweigh the electrics and a hazy spirit of eclecticism hangs over the album, as do circular Lennon-esque psychedelic melodies, all fueling a feeling of introspection. This means Leaving Wonderland sounds quite a bit different than its loud, grungy predecessor, MP3, not to mention Marcy Playground's eponymous 1997 debut, but its weathered, worn sounds feel appropriate for the band 12 years on from &"Sex and Candy." Elements of that early version of the band can be heard here, largely in Wozniak's facility with a hook -- best heard on the lightly propulsive &"Star Baby" -- and also how the group can occasionally grind out some noise. But this isn't about pop or rock; it's a nicely inward-looking collection of adult rock. It does feel a bit like a solo album, but it's better that it's released under the group's name, because it deserves to be heard by a wider audience as it proves that there's more to Marcy Playground and Wozniak than one grunge-era hit.
