the thing with this album... its one of the strongest second albums ive heard for a while. BUT... it just doesnt generate the same excitement in me as the debut did. Granted, the hype and media furore surrounding it definetly heightened my anticipation, but the actual content itself was amazing, it sped along like a buzz zaw and ticked all the boxes i was looking for at the time, it was a breath of fresh air. YFWN to me lacks something i cant quite put my finger on, i listen to it and just sit there thinking, 'god i wana listen to fake tales of san francisco at the moment'.
