If I were to take every moment in my life that I had turned on Top  40 radio before boy bands and Spice Girls, it would vaguely sound like  this album. The instrumentation is really distinct, Dee Dee\u2019s vocals are  blissfully ignorant and wrapped in notably less reverb than <em>I Will Be<\/em>,  and Richard Gottehrer of the Strangeloves (who wrote \u201cI Want Candy,\u201d  among others) produced this album, as he did Dum Dum Girls\u2019 full-length.  And to top it all off, it ends with a cover of \u201cThere is a Light that  Never Goes Out.\u201d Seriously. So, if this EP is pop perfection\u2014the holy  ghost of pop music, if you will, and I\u2019m at the pearly gates, listening  to this thing, how could it possibly be <em>too<\/em> perfect?
