Feel-good music can be annoying if you're not, y'know, feeling good. Even with handclaps, tap-dancing synths, and cheerleader chants, though, the Brooklyn duo sound more punk than twee in Lightning. Songs with shotglass-half-full titles like ''It's Alright'' and ''Not That Bad'' build to fist-pump choruses, but there's just enough attitude to counter that rah-rah spirit. ''You think I'm some little phony?'' Matt asks happily. ''Thing is, you don't f---ing know me!'' Only these two could make a total f--- you sound upbeat. B+
