The Click Five - "Greetings From Imrie House"
(Lava, 2005) * * * 1/2
Blending the best of 90s era bands like Athanaeum with today's hitmakers including the adult alternative styles of Jimmy Eat World, Bowling For Soup and Fall Out Boy, The Click Five have crafted an infectious album of potential hits. From the opening strains of "Good Day" to "Just The Girl" (which screams out Top 10 Hit with its chorus: "She's bittersweet, she knocks me off of my feet! I can't help myself, I don't want anyone else ... she's too much for me, but I keep coming back for more.") Greetings From Imrie House is the kind of album you just have to crank up as you drive eighty-five down the interstate. And "I'll Take My Chances" has the slowed down ballad sound down to an art form, sure to send teenage girls into waves of passionate bliss. It's not rocket science, just a decent cleanly-produced power pop record. What the hell's wrong with that?
