Advantages: Fun, catchy pop-punk, with a humorous, non-serious approach to love Disadvantages: Mostly pretty samey and formulaic, punk rock is never going to win awards musically
...you don't need to be drunk to dance - put it on to bounce around to when you're happy or to pick yourself up when you're down.
Putting a strict 'music critic' hat on, this only gets 4* because it's generally simple, formulaic and repetitive.
