Sugarcult - Lights Out
Sugarcult seems to have sorted out its identity crisis. On its debut album, the SoCal quartet displayed a fondness for carefree, punky anthems of the blink-182 variety. On the band’s followup, the band shifted to a more serious, hard-rock stance. For their third album, singer Tim Pagnotta and crew seem to have settled on lyrically lightweight power-pop songs like “Do it Alone,” “Shaking” and the “Majoring in Minors,” about one-night-stands and longer-term affairs. A predictable, but highly commercial formula.
