''Troublizing'' is an album by Ric Ocasek, released in 1997. Production The album was produced in part by Billy Corgan. Melissa Auf der Maur contributed backing vocals and bass. It was recorded at Electric Lady Studios. Critical reception AllMusic reviewer Stephen Thomas Erlewine called ''Troublizing'' Ocasek's "best solo album since ''This Side of Paradise''." ''The A.V. Club'' called it "a vital album that recalls the driving rock of Ocasek's much-loved former group while sounding fresher than many acts currently being passed off as cutting-edge." The ''Sun Sentinel'' wrote that "Ocasek's music is as lean, gangly and oddly interesting as he is." ''The Baltimore Sun'' wrote that "even though the twitchy choruses, edgy textures and defiantly unfunky rhythm arrangements evoke the flat, futuristic sound Ocasek conjured with the Cars, not even the presence of synth ace Greg Hawkes makes ''Troublizing'' seem second-hand."
