3.0 out of 5 stars Public Drunkenness September 9, 2009
Format:Audio CD
The problem with Boys Like Girls' 2006 self-titled debut was that the group sounded like a mid-decade answer to earlier bands such as Simple Plan or Good Charlotte. It was easy to imagine putting various CDs into a stereo and hitting the shuffle button only to guess which group was blaring through the speakers. A few tracks share this on new sophomore set "Love Drunk," but the majority retain distinct flavor.

The verses surrounding the chorus of the Top 40 title track are probing and intriguing, and the jagged, fluctuating ear candy chorus of opening cut "Heart Heart Heartbreak," another potential hit single, indicates that the band has grown stronger. "The Real Thing," which smacks of Bon Jovi (in this case, a good thing) has an awesome lyric which works in all the right spots - relatable sans cliches, stream-of-conscious without being offbeat - as well as a winning, bombastic melody and awesome guitar riffs.

These are the kinds of songs that stick around in the minds of listeners upon repeated plays without wearing out their welcome prematurely, and they make merely adequate tracks like "Shot Heard 'Round the World" and the cute but less interesting "Contagious" sound better by rubbing against them.

Of particular interest are the ballads, the best of which find the band hitting a particular stride and threshold of quality. It is a lyrically banal coming-of-age tune, but "Someone Like You," with its solid, memorable melody and soul-searching, emotionally sincere vocal performance from frontman Martin Johnson elevate it to a stone cold winner. The lo-fi closer "Go" has beauty and bite, and "Two Is Better Than One," which is aided more by Taylor Swift's big-thing-of-the-moment star power than quality vocals (she does fine, but technically she is not ideal), is a potential monster hit with its sweeping arrangements and over-the-top romantic idealism. It is precision-tooled to win over legions of young women and annoy their boyfriends for extended lengths of time.

"Love Drunk" is a sturdy collection of tunes that avoids the sophomore slump. Boys Like Girls up their ante considerably. This record is bound to spin off hits for at least a year.

3.0 out of 5 stars Very Sophomoric Sophomore effort... September 21, 2009
Format:Audio CD|Amazon Verified Purchase
BLG's first album, Boys Like Girls, was an all around perfect album. Boys Like Girls Love Drunk, however, is not. I'm not saying it's bad, but it just does not even come close to living up to how good the first album was. I remember all the songs from the first album. All the songs on this CD, with the possible exception of Love Drunk, are very forgettable. Im not even saying Love Drunk is anywhere near as good as their older stuff, just sayin its the "first single" for this CD so ofcourse it will remembered. Is it worth a purchase? Eh...I was pretty excited to get it, and then not so excited after one listen through...I havent even had the urge to put it in a second time yet...I probably will and maybe it will grow on me...lets hope so.

2.0 out of 5 stars BLG's 2nd Album... September 19, 2009
Format:Audio CD
The sophomore album for an artist can be hard; usually they go in a new direction or mature into their signature sound. With Boys Like Girl's Love Drunk it didn't really go anywhere! I waiting for that push to make it go to the next level, but throughout all 11 of the songs, it wasn't there. I have to say I was really disappointed with this album. Being a fan of their earlier work, I was thought this album would be a the second chapter in their music history. It really wasn't. The songs are similar to their sound, with the poppy guitars and lyrics about lovers in the past. It was just wasn't really something you'd take notice of. It was really bland, and weak second album. The songs I like are "Love Drunk" and "Go" for their different sound. I got this as a birthday present...yikes. I suggest borrowing a copy from a friend before buying it. Just to see if you would take this plunge.
