The Click Five
The Album: Modern Minds and Pastimes, due June 26

The 411: New lead vocalist, Kyle Patrick, 21, joins guitarist Joe Guese, bassist Ethan Mentzer, keyboardist Ben Romans and drummer Joey Zehr on their second disc - thanks to a recommendation from their former Berklee College of Music professors. "The four of us wanted to go in this more power-pop direction," says Guese, 25. "We met up with [Patrick] and really developed a chemistry together."

Bonus TMI Fact: "We are all single for the first time in the history of The Click Five. We are excited to be back on the road."

Billboard:

ARTIST: THE CLICK FIVE

ALBUM: MODERN MINDS AND PASTIMES (ATLANTIC)

Twenty-seven years ago, the J. Geils Band proclaimed "Love Stinks." But fellow Bostonians in the Click Five apparently never got the word. Despite a few buoyant moments, the quintet's sophomore album is an emotional wasteland of broken hearts, unrequited affection, tortured souls, confused minds and such flip-floppy revelations as "It we stay together/It could get worse/Then again it could get better." But this is still a pop band at heart, and one that has a new singer (Kyle Patrick, a somewhat weightier frontman than predecessor Eric Dill) and a wider sonic palette from which to draw. More derivative than distinctive, there album offers forays into '80s-style electro pop ("Addicted to Me") theatrical modern rock a la Panic! at the Disco ("When I'm Gone") and prototypical power balladry ("The Reason Why").

The Click Five, Modern Minds and Pastimes: * * 1/2 (out of four) Familiar, formulaic Click tracks

For their sophomore CD, these darlings of YouTube and MySpace have assembled a collection of neatly produced tunes that adhere to familiar post-grunge power-pop formulas. Some of the more appealing numbers, such as Addicted to Me and Headlight Disco, have a retro quality. Other songs, both structurally and in their mix of earnestness and smart-alecky attitude, seem - for better or worse - very much a product of 21st century values.
