 has shortened the fuse for its first full-length on Kung Fu, hacking off the keyboards that marred 2001's  and concentrating instead on uncoiling 's explosive vocal presence over an album's worth of boisterous brass-knuckles California pop-punk. While it offers much more than head-rush instant gratification, 's initial salvo is quite formidable. "Russian Roulette" douses its -style vocal harmonies in a punk rock solvent worthy of , and establishes a fun, freewheeling call-and-response vocal style between the beguiling  and her band of dudes. The same sound dresses up the raggedy new wave tour van anthem "Roundabout," and also saves "Top 40 Hit" from crossing the median into cliché. The latter song's anti-corporate message rant is admirable (and true), but its vicious hardcore riffing might have been better served without the baggage. But that's a minor misstep on a record full of face-punching riffs and vocal hooks that just beg to be shouted at shows. "20 Going On...," "Headlights on a Hand Grenade," and triumphant, pogo-worthy closer "In This Together" are all standouts -- the latter might feature one of 's most powerful lyrics. "I can't even convey how safe I am (when you're around me)," she sings, and it becomes as much a dedication to a partner as it is a thank you to the fans. That's probably the greatest thing about  and  -- the band's joy at playing is infectious, inherent, and totally ridiculous. It pushes their music past generalized comparisons to  or any rock band that was ever fronted by a woman, and makes their record something more than another series of anthems and chord changes -- it's an escape from the mundane and the moneybags.
