Saves the Day - Jukebox Breakdown

A nice little drum roll starts this one off. The guitars in the verse are quite crunchy and catchy and very lively. The beat reminds me so much of Weezer, which is a bit odd. So far so good. Chris' voice is in its usual level of whinyness that I find tolerable and better than a lot of other whiny singers.

What strikes me the most about STD is how they can pull off seemingly generic songs like this(especially when they got a tad poppier) with charm and honesty. I like how the backup "aooooohh"s in the bridge is used, it heightens the song's teenybopper lightheartedness. There's not much to say about the structure, 'cause it's fairly straightforward and formulaic. But still, it's a very good song.

7.5/10
