THE THRILLS Teenager
On this Dublin band's third album, their airy, acoustic-laced sounds produce lasting pleasures like "I Came All This Way," "No More Empty Words" and the two-part closer, "There's Joy to Be Found ... The Boy Who Caught All the Breaks."

BO BICE See the Light
While his American Idol conqueror, Carrie Underwood, went on to superstardom, Bice no longer has a major-label deal. But this indie effort, letting him indulge his passion for Southern rock, feels like a labor of love.

JIMMY EAT WORLD Chase This Light
This solid but unspectacular CD fails to really separate this punk-pop quartet from the Good Charlottes of the world. Still, they keep it punchy on tunes like "Here It Goes" and "Electable (Give It Up)."

BOYZ II MEN Motown: A Journey Through Hitsville USA
The boys who brought us "Motownphilly" salute the label that launched them, making for a truly harmonious fit. Best is their a cappella version of Stevie Wonder's "Ribbon in the Sky."
