Officially teenagers at this point in their career (four years and going strong), the cuties of Care Bears on Fire get poppy with their follow-up to 2007's I Stole Your Animal. Now a complete girl group, with the departure of Lucio and the initiation of Jena, they've moved in a mall-punk direction -- more in the style of Miley Cyrus, Selena Gomez, or the type of rock you might hear on Radio Disney than the classic punk groups you might see on their T-shirts. To be honest, they were never really that true to the '70s sound to begin with, but what do you expect? They're kids! It's hard to imagine any little girls actually getting excited by the bands their parents saw in the olden days. Instead, they should be pointing out the lame-itude of their parents, or engaging in typical lunchroom gossip: boys they like, girls they don't like, fashion, homework, and that sort of thing. Sophie, Jena, and Izzy tackle these types of schoolyard topics throughout Get Over It!, and while the music doesn't show any Patti Smith or Ramones influence, the girls do manage to channel the punk spirit of yesteryear with bratty adolescent rebelliousness.
CONDITION: Drilled case.
