Fake Sound of Progress - Good, still sounds kinda fresh. My most listened to album during college (alongside Incubus's Morning View). I still quite like it.
Start Something - Technically better, more polished production. A couple of gems but loads of skippable songs. Pretty much mainstream stuff although not too much on any particular bandwagon. Doesn't stand up to many repeated listens.
Liberation Transmission - I'm not even going near this one. The Rooftops has put me off as its just blatant emo bandwagon, pop stuff that just annoys me. Even the video is generic and pretty terrible.
My music taste has changed, but even if it hadn't I reckon I'd still hold the same opinion of them. The term sell-outs springs to mind although I don't like labelling bands with it.
