Big Money Item
Like The Rembrandts with louder guitars and better record collections, this Maryland quartet delivers an album that's as fresh as their debut, Rapple Dapple. Piling on the "yeah, yeah, yeahs," the Huseman brothers keep well-crafted tunes like "Round and Round," "Love Songs," "Go Without You," and "Super Geek" short, sweet, and simple. Power-pop nostalgics will approve, though it's probably too wimpy and retro for the kids. --Jeff Bateman
