    Classic Imperial Teen. Moves mostly between the sounds of "On" ('Do It Better' is a close kin to 'Sugar') and "What Is Not To Love". "What You Do" is probably their best bittersweet closer yet. Good to have them back.

    When the Teens youthfully chime in behind sheepish disclosures, it's like they're arguing that a baby seat in the tour van doesn't have to slow down the ride. And quite often, they prove it too.
