** Dynamite Hack, “Superfast,” Farmclub/Universal.

Share

Call ‘em Blink-91--a cut-rate, half-price take on Blink-182’s melodic power-punk, minus the puerile wit and deceptively smart commentary (in other words, the character). Even the hit, a gentle folk-pop twist of N.W.A’s Compton classic “Boyz in the Hood,” though kinda cute, wears thin very fast. Could be a one-hit wonder--blink and you’ll miss ‘em. (The album is in stores Tuesday.)

Albums are rated on a scale of one star (poor), two stars (fair), three stars (good) and four stars (excellent). The albums are already released unless otherwise noted.
