Title: They know the formula for good music, but don't apply it.
Review: Peplab has good rifs and solid beats, but instead of flowing into one fun album, they scatter and leave the beat in pieces. Their synthesized lyrics are clearly inspired by Daft Punk, and yet even more loopy. It will give them props for having an original sound, but originality doesn't make the album sound any better.Personally I feel like I'm shopping at Old Navy when I hear this music. It sounds remarkably like the genre of Muzak the store aims for, to smother the yuppies and high school cliques as well. This is exactly the type of thing echoing throughout the mall -- that spunky, yet completely forgettable noise that occupies the space. You may not, however, hear the track "Pornstar" in Old Navy. In this case you'd be shopping at A&F.;It's not a bad album, but nothing to recommend to a buddy. Some people like this sort of synth-bubblegum pop melange. If that's you, then you might just enjoy this. No guarantees though.
