i got hold of this album the other day, really disappointed. Lust For Life is ok (although it does start to bore after a couple of listens) but the album as a whole is MASSIVELY overrated, variation between songs is minimal, there's only so much of a formula you can do before it becomes tiresome and grating. 9.0+? Fuck that.

I'm really on the fence about this band. My co-workers play their album, Album, all the time so it's grown on me slowly but I don't think that I would ever buy it. In terms of longevity, while they've seemingly "blow up" in the blogospehere, I really don't see them growing and continuing past a second album. I was watching this live clip from their recent show in Barcelona and it only confirms my suspicions that there's nothing too remarkable about them.

They've released a new video for Lust For Life that is hardcore *** porn.

EDIT: Gay is censored...?

yeah, the video is just garbage too. I really think this is one of those bands that people will convince themselves to like just because PF gave them a good review. I mean, they really are crappy. For once in the short time I have been on this forum I agree with Stu about something.

Not bitching. Just pointing out that some people do it. I love Pitchfork, and I love Musicbanter. Go be an advocate with someone else.

That was directed towards the people bitching, not you.

i thought it was pretty tame. there's what - 2 shots of a dick? it's nothing to get excited about.

though i did hear they wanted to do a more explicit version, the record company forbade them from releasing it.
