Seeing Fat Wreck Chords reissue Masked Intruder’s self-titled album seems only natural — especially considering the bubble gum pop-punk gush contained on the 13 tracks on this album. This LP was originally released on Red Scare back in the summer of 2012, and the move from Red Scare to Fat is reminiscent of what carried out only a few years ago with Teenage Bottlerocket.

Simply put, this album embraces elements of traditional pop-punk in the vein of  the Ramones: the lyrics about falling in love, falling out of love, being lonely, and love in general. Three-part harmonies on the vocals bring out a doo-wop style that reminds me of a little bit of Teen Idols, in particular during the song “How Do I Get To You.” The lead vocals (which are sung by “Green Intruder,” I assume) hits a tone similar to KJ Jansen of Chixdiggit.

Musically, it’s pretty straightforward pop-punk driven by a traditional rock and roll beat. It’s pretty simplistic and repetitive, but they execute this super sugary sound quite nicely. There’s also a bit of storyline here with our masked band played out throughout this album. One could even say it’s a bit of a concept album, albeit a very simple concept. The Masked Intruders break into their “love’s” house and sing their undying love to her, only to eventually be sent to convicted and sent to jail. Yeah, wouldn’t have guessed that one, huh? But as an end product, this album archives what it sets out to do — even if it’s kind of cheesy and cliche.
