You might have heard Tonight, Tonight, Hot Chelle Rea's first hit for a hot summer day, i.e., by the pool with a Corona in your hand. Back then, its sugarcoated melody and innocuous pop might have sounded not bad, or fun even. But Whatever, the combo's sophomore outing, is filled with so many marshmallowy, empty calories and packs of saccharin that the listener who endures an entire 40-something minutes of it will undoubtedly experience an instant diabetic coma...

Have you looked at today's mall-punk scene and thought "Hmm, what this subculture really needs is its own Jimmy Buffet?"

Sound: While being a new band, Hot Chelle Rae displays a sound similar to that of older rock bands (70's maybe) in Lovesick Electric. The style shows a mixture of technoish and rock sounds, giving a very unique sound compared to those of today. The sound of the album is very uplifting (except maybe "Bleed") and shows that they're having fun making it. All of this makes a pretty good sound, but not the best I've ever heard...
