Greetings From Imrie House-The Click Five

"Catchy-as-hell Power Pop? Check. Cute guys? Check. Cute Guys In Suits? Double Check."


I was in Wal-Mart two days ago, quickly browsing over the cd titles. I was actually searching for a hard copy of Interpol's Antics, preferably the new edition that was released. My eyes stopped on The Click Five's cd. $9.72. Typical weird as heck Wal-Mart price. I thought for a second.

Me: "Ah, hell. I'll buy it."

I bought the single "Just The Girl" off of iTunes a week or so ago. I thought it was alright. So here I am reviewing the album.

I knew I was in trouble when I opened the cd and found a trading card in it. "Oh freaking-no. Teeny bopper alert!"

The album was what I expected. Nice, power pop to the extreme. Comparable to Rooney's album. I wasn't expecting too much, and I found Greetings From Imrie House to be catchy. Very catchy.





It does have a bit of an 80s power pop feel to it. If you listen to "Lies," the whole beginning reeks (in a positive way) of a homage to the 80s pop rock music scene, with the synthesized drums. The harmonies are tight, the guitars are slick and the chorus hooks reel you in(no pun intended).

Despite my heavy-listening-to-Interpol-leanings, I enjoyed this album. Good to be happy to. It's definitely not my scene, but hey, if you like power pop and cute young guys in suits....by all means, buy this.

Oh rating! Uhm, 7.5/10 shakas. That dang card.

Get this: Just The Girl, Catch Your Wave, Angel To You(Devil To Me), Lies, Pop Princess
