Discretamente noti in patria (Iunaited Steits of Emereca) e sbarcati anche nello stivale nell'anno 2007 con il tormentone "Cupid's Chokehold", i Gym Class Heroes suonano una innovativa (?) miscela tra rock e rap.
Il tutto, sia beninteso, comunque finalizzato ad ottenere brani spudoratamente orecchiabili e non ardite sperimentazioni sonore.
Il disco in questione, definito più di una volta nella rete come "troppo rock per un disco rap e troppo rap per un disco rock", o sempre su questa falsariga "troppo indie per essere un disco mainstream, troppo mainstream per essere un disco indie", a parer del DeRecensore dovrebbe essere giudicato semplicemente per quello che è e non per quello che dovrebbe (o vorrebbe) essere.
Anzi, a dirla tutto di "rock" in questo disco non c'è niente, a meno che un basso e una batteria "live" non ne siano condizione minima e sufficiente. Piuttosto si può parlare di energico, vivace e piacevole pop.
Quindi se amate ciò che è "catchy" in una via poppeggiante, lasciatevi sedurre dalla sfacciatamente danzereccia coppia "New Friend Request"/"Clothes Off!", dalla zuccheratissima (ma a suo modo irresistibile) "7 Weeks", oppure per qualcosa di meno ammiccante e più profondo concedetevi una "Shoot Down The Stars" o una "The Queen And I".
Pop da classifica è e pop da classifica rimane, eppure "it's so cute"!

Curse you aquascum, follow the leader
Made today's big fish outta yesterday's bottom feeders

Seriously, for one, if I gave a fuck, my eyes would be locked onto yours,
And not to nothin' that's goin' on behind your back homey,
For two... Oh, I'm sorry, I forgot, what were you sayin' again? Exactly
Ignorance is bliss homey, you my dear make it fact
I'm just curious as to why you take yourself so serious
You missed the joke a year back, man,
The punchline just hit you in the mouth...
And it's okay to be a little risky
The Good Times
Forget work it's all play at the end of the day
The Good Times
Just be sure to send the females my way

Forget work it's all play at the end of the day
The Good Times
Just be sure to send the females my way
The Good Times.
