I finally broke down and - as one of the first parts of a totally inadvisable but completely worth-it spending spree - bought my first Tennis Pro album.
I picked Happy Is the New Sad because it had one particular song that I loved, which I believe I've mentioned before: "Rock Over Tokyo". That song alone is good enough to merit a ten dollar purchase, but the rest of the album isn't slacking.
Most of the songs are pretty straightforward rock numbers, since the band is a pretty straightforward outfit: guitar, bass, drums. They swing back and forth between totally rocking and very melodic, but this album generally staying in the first category.
Out of thirteen songs, seven of them are currently rated as five stars on my computer. The rest? Four stars. The only thing keeping that average as low as it is is the lack of a 4.5 rating.
Top tracks: "Rock Over Tokyo", "Fireball", & "Why Break Curfew (If You're Only Going to Break My Heart)"
