An appealing concept album about crushes and puppy love, Totally Crushed Out! is full of tight punk-pop and pretty ballads. Tracks like "Ms. Wrong," "Silently," and "One Summer Night" capture the giddiness of first love with their three-part harmonies and sweet melodies. Totally Crushed Out! is cute and clever without being too cutesy or precious, and almost as memorable as a first crush.
