Lil' Beethoven is the 19th album by the Americanrock band Sparks, released in 2002.
History
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. 1997's Plagiarism had been intended to introduce the group's history to their new German audience, while building on the success with high-profile collaborations for the UK and US audience. It had only been partially successful.
The next album, Balls, had not been at all successful and was generally perceived as Sparks treading water. Sparks then decided to change track, dropping the synthpop sound, reducing the musical palette and developing the music upon piano lines and lyrics of Ron Mael and the vocals of Russell Mael.
