How the Music Critic Score works
Teaming up once more with Trial of the Century producer Doug Boehm, the French Kicks turn in an even more polished, poppy-sounding set of songs with Two Thousand. Problem is, even though the album overflows with pop signifiers -- strummy guitars, appealingly breathy harmonies, and infectious beats -- they come together in memorable songs at a surprisingly low rate. That's not to say that Two Thousand is flat-out bad.
