I've gotta agree with those who have been touting "For Real". I like how it starts out as a ragged 90s alt-rock type song, then morphs into something much more sleek and well crafted. Also, a cool little effect, in the intro, one when one guitar is playing a G chord another guitar creates feedback on an F note which makes it sound like a G7 chord is being played. It's a minor thing overall, but it's a cool little flourish that gives the chord a layered sound. As of now, though I've heard a few of their other songs, I haven't really paid close attention. i'll probably be giving them a second look. BTW...Is it just me, or do they sound a bit like Weezer?
