View More By Boys Like Girls Our ReviewOn this Boston emo quartet’s 2009 sophomore outing “Heart Heart Heartbreak” opens like the grand finale of a fireworks display, launching melodies that explode with barbed hooks, auto-tuned vocals and a hyper-glossy production. The anthemic title-track comes out punching with a four-on-the-floor disco beat and Martin Johnson’s in-your-face vocals mixed right upfront to sound like he’s trying to crawl out of your speakers. Emo stalwarts might be somewhat vexed to find Boys Like Girls veering away from the genre’s blueprints on this album, but you have to give the band props for flirting with the revival of ‘80s AOR pop/rock (whether they’re conscious of it or not) — “She’s Got a Boyfriend Now” recalls Bryan Adams’ penchant for nostalgic narratives crossed with an impassioned chorus reminiscent of “Jessie’s Girl”-era Rick Springfield.

BOYS LIKE GIRLS HAVE GONE POP. where's the angst-ridden guitar-driven emo-pop that BLG used to be? i loved the sounds of "Thunder" and "Five Minutes to Midnight." and now i'm stuck with...."Love Drunk." this is not the Boys Like Girls i grew to know and love. that BLG wouldn't feature Taylor Swift on any of their albums. not that Taylor's not good...she's just First Album Was Way Better (3 stars) I can’t say I was exactly a huge fan of Boys Like Girls’ debut album. But I definitely liked a lot of the songs on it, and I felt it was a decent effort. However, their second album, “Love Drunk,” seems to be a less than satisfactory follow-up. Rather than improving on the sound of their previous album, Boys Like Girls have gone for an even more pop album. Sure, this album has its catchy moments, but I don’t find that it comes clos One Is Better Than Two (1 star) The first cd was off the hook, absolutely loved it. this one is just pop noise mixed with pointless lyrics. This cd is a no go for fans of the first album BiographyFormed: Boston, MAGenre: Alternative Years Active: '00s, '10s Unafraid to wear their heart on their collective sleeve, the Boston-based emo-pop outfit Boys Like Girls features singer/guitarist Martin Johnson, bassist Bryan Donahue, drummer John Keefe, and guitarist Paul DiGiovanni (the last two members being cousins). After Boys Like Girls posted several demo recordings online, the band's lively hooks and youthful enthusiasm had gathered them quite a following by 2005's end, while also catching the attention of industry players like booking agent Matt Galle...
