BOYS LIKE GIRLS - Love Drunk |
There are far worse descriptions than a less interesting, more pop, version of Jimmy Eat World, but that is precisely what emo rockers Boys Like Girls are at heart. Full of catchy instantly accessible pop-punk tunes, their 2nd album "Love Drunk" works more often than not. "the band sticks to the same basic template of super slick, glossily produced emo pop with uptempo songs that sound stadium singalong-friendly and ballads that seem destined to melt teenage girls` hearts. The difference this time is that the songs are better-written and hookier, especially the rockers. "She`s Got a Boyfriend Now" and "Contagious" sound like 2000s updates of the classic `80s sound of pop/rockers like Bryan Adams and Rick Springfield; "Real Thing" even conjures up the red leather and headbanded ghost of Loverboy. Strip away a few of the modern things like Auto-Tune and programmed drums, and there you are. These very catchy, super fun rockers comprise two-thirds of the album, the strongest part of the record and a definite improvement over the debut" - AMG.
