When they performed "Take Me on the Floor" on So You Think You Can Dance, it seemed very poorly balanced sound-wise between the two sisters. But the album version has no such issues, instead providing a dance-worthy track that for some reason is now stuck in my brain.
And "This Is How It Feels" has almost a Blondie like feel, about a girl fighting a stalker. Though I can't imagine having a stalker calling incessantly and never leaving a message, I wouldn't wish it upon anyone. This is a take-no-prisoners approach to young relationships, going from love to hate as those involved question every decision. And the driving beat, keyboards, and backing guitar keeps it lighter than the topic might deserve, which made me have to listen a few times before I heard all the levels.
Based on their TV performances, I think The Veronicas would be a great duo to see live. So if they come to your town, I'd definitely check them out. And pick up Hook Me Up at your favorite online or brick-and-mortar retailer. For more info, check out their website and MySpace page to take a listen.
