So why is Plumtree’s Mass Teen Fainting on this best 1,000 albums ever thing?
Plumtree has such a comfortable, inviting energy while at the same time consistently pumping out super catchy, upbeat, and fun pop punk with great harmonies and vocals. Mass Teen Fainting’s lead track, “Tropical,” is a perfect example of this.
Don’t let the casual-seeming vibe fool you though – there’s really inventive musicianship going on here, particularly the meshing of unique chord changes and wonderful vocal harmonies on songs like “Only in the Movies” and “The Phone, The Phone.”
“In the Sink” is such an interesting angle on pop punk: it both rocks but could also almost be perfectly at home at a coffee shop (albeit a ‘90s hipster, indie rock kind of joint, mind).
For pure pop punk catchiness bliss, you can’t do much better than “I Don’t Know.”
Interesting note via All Music: the album title, Mass Teen Fainting, “was taken from the liner notes of a Bay City Rollers album.”
