• In an era where everything from R&B to heavy metal has a Christian subgenre, why not seemingly ubiquitous Blink 182-style pop-punk? Relient K has a reputation for providing just such a thing, but its difficult to discern the overt Christian content on their third album TWO LEFTS DONT MAKE A RIGHT. Mostly whats on offer are satiric observations filled with equal parts youthful punk attitude, cutting humor, and smart pop hooks. This being a properly postmodern band, pop-cultural references abound. "Mood Rings" namechecks a number of TV shows, while the ostensibly ironic "In Love With The 80s (Pink Tux to the Prom)" features a character obsessed with Tears for Fears. "College Kids," a sendup of the academic experience, sounds like a subject these Canton, OH guys also know something about, as they seem to effortlessly throw 50-cent words into their bracing rock charge to fine effect.
