  Rainbow Quartz is one of the best ( I'd even say the best ) power pop labels around, and here's yet another fine record in their discography. The Lackloves have been around for awhile ( with roots in the Blow Pops, as well ), and this fourth record of theirs finds them continuing to play jangly power pop in the vein of the traditional classics ( namely the Who and the Beatles, and to a lesser extent, the Beach Boys ) peppered with subtle hints of psychedelia now and again. There are a number of inspired moments, including "Marlena", "Hallmark Stars ( Take A Seat )" and the albums opener "On My Way" , But there are also a couple places where things seem a bit too much by the numbers, such as the main riff of "Another Kind of Girl" ( although I would actually put the song's bridge in former inspired catagory ). A great record for the upcoming summer.
