"Sometimes, to do what's right/You must walk alone," sings Ronnie Winter on the third album from the Red Jumpsuit Apparatus, a Florida quartet who quietly went platinum last time out. Winter goes for inspirational platitudes all over Lonely Road, which suits a band that thanks God in its liner notes. But despite a couple of winners — see the very catchy, Fall Out Boy-ish "Step Right Up" — little in RJA's tunes inspires. The band skips between emo pop and orchestral pomp while applying plenty of major-label gloss. The result: Much of the time the Jumpsuits end up sounding like a lesser version of Hawthorne Heights.
