I just don't like the sound at all. I hate the standard whining "indie" vocals,, the repetitive drum beats that sound like a 5 year old banging on a steel trash can and synths sound like an Atari 2600 being raped by a swarm of bees.

Of all the songs I've heard, which is at least a dozen, I couldn't even tell them apart, it just sounded like they all had the same exact structure.

I'll give them an A for ambition, but that doesn't make them good IMO.
Have you tried Merriweather? It's a little more conventional on all levels compared to a lot of their other stuff...
