    On the second album by Minneapolis four-piece Howler, an energy level worthy of forebears the Replacements, Soul Asylum and even, in places, Husker Du is dialed up, making such tracks as the thrumming/thrashy “Indictment” and the hardcore-tilting “Drip” buzz around the listener’s head like so many hornets.

    The trouble with World of Joy isn’t that it’s bad, but that it seems perfectly content to stop short at “pretty good.”

    The vivacious, visceral World of Joy is the musical equivalent of riding a well-worn mechanical bull.
