Default Peter Bjorn and John

So yeah i've kind of had this shoved down my throat but I actually like it so its cool. Young Folks is one of my favorite songs right now its really catchy, I don't really know who to compare them to cause the most similar artist I can think of is Belle and Sebastian but they're not that similar at all. Listen to Young Folks first.

Young Folks is a lot of fun, but nothing else they've done comes anywhere close. Plus that song is really getting kind of annoying now, it's been played to death.

It is a solid pop album, but none of the other tracks are anthems like Young Folks is.

I like Up Against The Wall and of course Young Folks, but I think the album is uber bland and boring.

They play Young Folks at least once every hour and a half on Radio One but I'm still not bored of that song.

I had a listen to the 30 second samples of the other songs on the album and nothing jumped out at me.
