What do you guys think? I must say after my first listen I am totally let down. The most striking thing about this band was always their energy, which is why this record is so baffling for me. The spiky dance-punk rhythms and b-movie synths have been replaced with bland powerpop. Some small moments and nice bits (The guitar in "Big Difference" is fantastic) may perk interest, and the boys still have a remarkable knack for pop-punk hooks (however overused/Cheap Trick-y they may have become), it's just really sad that "End of a Spark" might end up being a pretty apt descriptor for this band so early in their career.

Bambi is definitely the best on the album. I wish I could say there were more great songs, but I was underwhelmed.

I wasn't a really big fan of their first one, but it was decent. Listened to this and it's pretty terrible, nothing stands out at all.
