    The Wanted take cues from Coldplay ("Clocks"-style piano shows up on "Gold Forever") and Kings of Leon ("Use Somebody" moans swirl around "Lose My Mind") to no avail, and their dance pop droops where it should bounce.

    Ultimately, there is a musical sophistication and higher maturity level to the Wanted's sound than you might expect.
