Hooky garage rock revival revival (think Vines, not Animals) that draws from a dozen can't-miss formulas (Pixies' soaring guitars + general west coast crunch) to make something that I gotta admit, does not miss. Always agreeable, striking clean lines, Mario Cuomo's voice finding grit and grace all over the place, this is perfectly good fist-pumping indie hard rock lite.
Don't come expecting any feats of derring do though: every 3 minute song still sounds stretched thin; there's no big moves, no innovations, nothing anything that will stick once the listen's over (beyond that admittedly catchy song from the Apple ad) 3/5
