Nah, it's not because of that. The reason why you're able to still be listening to this, is that you haven't yet contaminated yourself with the whole new music bug thing. My own problem is the very fact that I can't be content with what I have, but always want, no, demand something else and something new. That means my attention span for a new album these days is pretty much no more than three weeks (and that's a liberal estimate). It's rare for an album released these days to truly contain SO much enduring appeal that it's worth listening to for any longer beyond that.

On the album specifically, it isn't a bad album and I strongly disagree with anybody who claims so. Neither is it particularly derivative or generic/faceless, as others seem to be insisting on suggesting. What it is, is a somewhat enjoyable album (for your typical indie pop fan) which manages to do its own sort of thing within the niche, but without being remarkable all the same.

All I want now is another Ga Ga Ga Ga Ga or a Hissing Fauna...

I thought the album was pretty good. Reminded me of Band of Horses and a few other indie acts. Sure, it wasn't anything spectacular (like the Fleet Foxes s/t), but it was certainly a worthwhile accomplishment. I...don't remember all of it right now, but needless to say, I liked it. :shrug:

i really wanted to hate them
because my girlfriend plays frickin paul simons graceland like every day during summer
but i finally gave it a listen and now i really hope that this will take its place

Love it

Fantastic album. It's a really pretty and addictive sound, IMO.

i think its a case where they have such a buzz about them its "cool" to not like them. i thought it was a great debut album.

Absolute rubbish. They're just another corporate-mould indie band making an over-produced indie album.

-100/10
