Negative Positive
Title: Nice power pop
Review: Hot Rod Circuit is a fairly easy band to overlook, seeing as they play just straight up, poppy rock and roll that seems to be so popular these days, but they're doing this much better than most of the bands on today's scene. These songs are ultra catchy, and the great guitar leads help them pull ahead of the rest of the pack. There are no pretentious stabs at being "emo" here, just good old driving rock. At times I'm reminded of Superdrag, which is definitely a good thing, and some songs have those bouncy hooks that Saves The Day crafts so well. This has certainly been done before, and there is not a great deal of musical territory covered on this album, but it is a fine work of power pop amongst a crowd of weaker bands.
Is the review positive or negative?
