Guitarist has a powerful sense of dynamics and arrangements, which gives the music an extra kick, but he also can write exceptionally melodic and subversive songs. Nothing on is quite what it seems.

All of it is told with a sense of humor, but it doesn't come off as cheap or smirking because of the group's hard-rocking drive and 's -idol vocals.
