Kellin Quinn's vocals share their taut, thin chime (capable of some nifty Robert Plant androgyny) with the yowling guitars on this slice of ultramelodic rock -- a little punchier than you might imagine from the word "emo"; a little poppier than you might from "post-hardcore." Madness saves its best compressed-spring melodies for swelling power ballads ("Save Me a Spark", "Heroine"), but more ragged blasts of noise like "We Like It Loud" have a cathartic energy the showpieces don't.
