The third album by alternative rock band American Hi-Fi was
a pretty big departure for the band. With Butch Walker at the helm as producer,
the album was markedly more lighthearted and melodic than its grittier
predecessors.

Most people remember this band for their breakout single, “Flavor
of the Weak”, which just missed the Billboard Top 40 in 2001. The leadoff single
from “Hearts on Parade” was “The Geeks Get the Girls”, but it failed to chart. Nevertheless,
the album reached #129 on the Billboard Top 200.
The track I keep going back to is “We Can’t Be Friends”. The band's sense of humor is on full display in the lyrics, and the chorus is one of the catchiest the band has ever written. Overall, a very slick and memorable
song!
