On their sophomore album, the follow-up to 2010's Stuck on Nothing, the Philadelphia pop-rockers make good times their primary mission. The cowbell-pumped riffs that start album opener "Electric Fever" make that goal pretty clear, as if song titles like "Dance All Night" and "Hangin'" didn't already. Singer Paul Sprangers keeps the conversation light, and the band makes the music easy to dance to, like good party hosts should.
