Boys Like Girls
近期看着Fall Out Boy/打倒男孩乐团在排行各榜呼风唤雨，似乎这股将畅快庞克不羁气焰完全释放，并渗入些许EMO风格夹带流畅声线，同时坚持早期地下化鼓噪乐音，跨越另类摇滚至流行区块的声调，已渐渐获得更多乐迷认同，虽然EMO乐种仍不能称的上是主流，但更为流畅旋律以及琅琅上口调性，绝对能在流行市场赢得潜力商机。Boys Like Girls的年轻组合，就是承袭这一派风格，展现他们超高能量音频，一倾而泄激爆出最为强悍之摇滚气度。

Oh, Boys Like Girls. With their eponymous debut for Red Ink, the Boston quartet marks its entry into the effervescent world of sugary, emo-blasted pop/rock. They've got the gleaming guitars, urgent vocals, and driving rhythms propelling three-minute ditties about their hearts, their girls, and those girls who just like to toy with their poor hearts. But unlike similarly styled bands, Boys Like Girls are largely lacking much of anything that could either separate them from the pack or, at the very least, give them more substance to appeal to more than just the teenaged girls who will be singing along enthusiastically at shows while secretly pining for the shaggy-haired, boyish clan. Boys Like Girls are simply without the overwhelming catchiness of the All-American Rejects or the unbridled enthusiasm of the City Drive. Instead, listeners are left with an offering that is almost catchy and enthusiastic. Even the few standouts -- like the summer drive of "The Great Escape" and "Heels Over Head" -- will be pretty hard to recall by the lukewarm album's end. Regardless, those looking for a quick fix will surely eat up the likes of Boys Like Girls.
