...songs’ twee inclinations contrast with the distortion of guitars and vocals. The sweetness of the melodies contrast, at times, with the subtle and the plaintively morose lyrics. “A Teenager in Love” would be at home in any John Hughes movie, a fitting soundtrack to Molly Ringwald eyeing a love interest across the gymnasium at a crowded school dance.
