Sneer · 04-13-2005, 02:29 PM

I picked "who are they?" simply because these poll options are slightly retarded...

I dont think they ever claimed to be "rock" in the first place. It's pretty evident what they aim for, which is catchy radio friendly pop music.

Anyways, I dont dislike them nor do I think theyre horrible, theyre simply forgettable. Although, their self titled had some pretty good songs on it... specifically the first 4 tracks, it's all down hill after "Matinee".

I still have'nt heard their second album. Their debut did nothing for me when it came out but now all the hype has died down I am finding myself popping this on at work a little more. 'Take Me Out' is of course a great track but 'The Dark Of The Matinee' and 'Michael' are damn good too. It seems to have dated less and have more longevity than a lot of white boy guitar bands from Britain in the last few years.
