    Bad lyrics, bad singing, but good beat.

    There aren't enough original ideas here to know if Rooney can shine as a relevant, modern rock band.

    Calling the World might not be radically inventive, but its solid songcraft and playful shout-outs to rock history are a lot of fun.

    Things get slightly clunky when the tempo slows and they stretch for drama, but there’s a growing self-awareness here that keeps Rooney within its comfort zone, which, refreshingly, is comforting more often than not.
