After breaking through with 2006's "I Wish We All Could Win," the Afters prove their early success was no fluke with this brilliant sophomore outing. Relentless touring has made the band an even tighter unit, as evidenced on "Myspace Girl," a quirky pop celebration of modern-day love inspired by a true story that is becoming an online phenomenon. The title track is a buoyant anthem with an incredibly catchy melody and potent lyric about not settling for mediocrity, while "Keeping Me Alive" is a gorgeous ballad that really shows lead vocalist Josh Havens' gift for interpreting a lyric. This talented Texas-based foursome manages to escape the sophomore curse with well-crafted songs, ear-grabbing performances and a musical joie de vivre that is impossible to resist. —Deborah Evans Price
