Power pop used to pop harder, as anyone who saw Cheap Trick on bills with The Scorpions back in the ‘70s will tell you. Faster than the current pop speed limit, Attack! Attack! UK still fits in the harmonies, riffs, wordy verses and simple shout-along choruses. Restores the drum to its proper place in the pecking order. Derivative? Sure—but not of stuff that’s happening now. Of stuff you miss.
