This is an album that I feel kind of embarrassed about liking, because there\u2019s not much here besides cheesy synths, fast beats, and repetitive vocals to carry the songs through. Each track is an oddly infectious mix of what sounds like children\u2019s toy phone noises, Nat\u2019s clear and steady voice, and the playlist at the first nightclub you hit up when you turned 18 in 1985. <em>The Right Words <\/em>is fun and doesn\u2019t take itself too seriously, but all the same, there are some problems. There are just way too many disjointed, extraneous effects, as well as uninspired melodies where it seems they forgot some lyrics and filled in blanks in the beats with repeated lines and \u201coh\u201ds. Ultimately, though, the catchiness of the songs is the album\u2019s saving grace.
