    Is it cheesy? Kind of. But sometimes your musical diet can use a little extra dairy.

    A radio-friendly collection of feel-good summer pop alongside teen-angsty ballads. [Nov 2007, p.147]

    There's just very so little of merit here--glazed pop-rock staggers into itself as the whole album washes past without you realising.
