While many of their melodies are infectious, it's true that many of their songs shouldn't be as enjoyable as they are. "Let's Dance To Joy Division", for example, is a blatant pitch to get played at those same indie dance nights where Ian Curtis' band is a staple. But despite its hokey premise (and the fact that it contains cringe-worthy lyrics like "Let the love tear us apart,/ I've found the cure for a broken heart"), its English children's choir (you can practically hear the school uniforms on the singers as they chant the chorus along with frontman Matthew Murphy), over-caffeinated rhythms, and power pop glee are rousing nonetheless. And "Patricia The Stripper", with its self-explanatory storyline of a "coked-up, Botox girl" who works the pole for a living, mixes rote dance punk cymbals with out-of-place moments of Coldplay falsetto for something akin to a Killers song delivered in an even heavier than usual British burr. Seldom does a pop band come along so shamelessly simple and fun, that even the most cynical of critics can’t help but kneel over in their wake.

The Wombats trio boast a genuinely accessible sound while keeping their album fresh and modern. There are no worn out stories of drunken romances, lyrics to cringe over or generic ‘up-beat’ melodies. Instead, enjoy fluffy tales of youthful innocence and discovery, delivered via a power pop punch of sing-a-long choruses and jittery guitar tunes.
