This review is from: Treble in Trouble (Audio CD)

Ted Leo, who staked his claim to fame over the years for fronting the mod-punk band Chisel, has released a follow-up EP to his Pharmacists CD. While his first solo disc was more of a trip through his large record collection and exposure to many different forms of music, Treble in Trouble leans more towards the traditional Ted Leo playing an angsty guitar and singing about things that matter to him. Leo's sound also matures from the bare-bones tape loops that characterized his first record to the more-polished "full band" sounds on Treble in Trouble.

While many listeners may be stirred by the provocative "Abner Louima V. Gov. Pete Wilson," Leo reassures his fans that he can still write great pop songs with bouncy melodies, solid guitar and intelligent lyrics on "Come Baby Come" and "The 11th."
