Big Money Item
Like The Rembrandts with louder guitars and better record collections, this Maryland quartet delivers an album that's as fresh as their debut, <I>Rapple Dapple</I>. Piling on the "yeah, yeah, yeahs," the Huseman brothers keep well-crafted tunes like "Round and Round," "Love Songs," "Go Without You," and "Super Geek" short, sweet, and simple. Power-pop nostalgics will approve, though it's probably too wimpy and retro for the kids. <i>--Jeff Bateman</i>
