What can you say about a band that just plain rocks?

Each song on Moth’s third record couldn’t have been done better.

Hailing from Ohio, the same state that spawned Nine Inch Nails, Devo and The Breeders, Moth contributes a solid major label debut by molding generous portions of geek rock in with some dark and satisfying love songs, such as “Lovers Quarrel,” one of the album’s best.

Brad Stenz’s gritty vocals glide along the same horizon as U2’s Bono, and even occasionally slightly hints at Jeremy Enigk of the now defunct Sunny Day Real Estate.

The music somehow manages to incorporate punk rock angst with a tint of spunk by nailing each song’s theme, whether it be bittersweet, relaxed or carefree.

A decent number of songs on the record sound like they were written for radio airplay. The title track has an almost goofy overtone, and it follows the traditional chorus-verse- chorus theme.

The opening of “Burning Down My Sanity” has Everclear written all over it, and features reverb and delayed vocal effects on Stenz’s repeated phrases.

The unexpected tempo and volume changes make “Cocaine Star” and “Sleepy” some of the best recent rock songs on the platter.
