  Ted Leo fuses punk energy with power-pop craftsmanship better than almost anybody from this era. “Where Have All the Rude Boys Gone?” and “The High Party” are packed with hooks, but songs like “Bridges, Squares” give the album emotional depth beneath all the velocity. The playing is restless and precise at the same time.
