This Illinois quartet's name may mysteriously trail off, but one thing's
for sure: The Academy Is...Loves...Girls. Much like their labelmates Fall Out
Boy and Panic at the Disco the band adheres to the poppier, more
anthemic end of the emo spectrum, and eschews the genre's poor-me
platitudes for good times — specifically, the kind that you can have with
the opposite sex. Songs like ''About a Girl'' and ''Coppertone'' are sunny,
jangling, and easily melodic — ideal dog-days-of-summer distractions. B+
