All right, I know this has been getting big buzz forever and it's supposed to have some Song of the Summer potential and stuff, but c'mon: the crunchy, bombastic guitars and the sick-sweet lady vocals? This sounds like Evanescence found a dance producer. A few tracks, taken in isolation, are catchy and all, and I could see how it would be impossible to ignore if you heard it in a club, but just because it's blasting from some stereo headphones from a kid on a fixie instead of a drop-top Mustang doesn't make it any less big and dumb.
