No sophomore slump here – this new Thrills record is just as good if not better than their debut…I’ve been listening to it a ton since I got it. With poppy hooks like they have, how can you not? Even if the album was crap, I’d be tempted to rate it well based solely on the fact that they have a song called “Whatever Happened to Corey Haim?”, and it’s a damn good and catchy song at that. If you liked the last album, this should be right up your alley; if you’ve never heard them before and like catchy Beach Boys and Byrds-inspired pop music, get thee self to a record store post haste. If you can give me a better band from Ireland channeling sunny California pop music, I’ll take it – but for now, I’ll stick with The Thrills.
