The band is great at creating tight, delicate emotional pop songs and generic, yet catchy rockers, too. Suffice to say, they sound more comfortable during the softer numbers, where their true talents shine, but when they rock out they desperately feel as if they're trying to write a "hit". I'll give this a B-.
