When I see a band using a generic "tagger" font to create their logo my first reaction is automatically, "oh s***, another Crazy Town!" and that's not far off here. Poptart Monkey opt for lame drum machine rhythm tracks but actually add in nu-metal power chords and melodic vocals that put them a notch above Crazy Town or Tommy Lee but only a notch. Still the vocals sound a bit forced. 

It's the guitars that saves this CD from sucking total ass and after spinning a few times it actually grows on you, but enough to save it from the recycle bin because it really offers nothing new and sounds a bit too generic to really turn heads.
