Pop and rock, eh? Sounds more like country when it starts, and the opener and title track reminds me of “Bird On a Wire” in its melody. “Malibu Man” is great too, though “Living in Sin” is a little too twee and jangly I feel. The album really fails to put a foot wrong after that though, with “King of a One Horse Town” a particular standout. “Cherrybomb” nearly manages to drag it back down, but recovers well. “Stand By My Girl” has a clever little lyric “Gonna stand by my girl/ Cos she'll kill me if I don't” (
) and it's just gold from there to the end. Another excellent album.
