wow, profound statement right there. 'they speak with the same accent they talk in' he says. speaking and talking, the same thing? who would have known! great insight man.

have you read the thread? we know that they've sold more in the UK and are more popular there, and that's fine, my argument is that i have no doubt in my mind that countless north american listeners are in love with their englishness and gimmicky style. i have nothing against english artists, my extended family is from britain and i am a huge fan of the country and its music. but having heard numerous frat boys and trendy girls blab on about how great the band is, what else am I to assume? they have wonderful instincts when it comes to music? no, they, like many others, are into clever lyrics with thick accents and radio friendly tunes.but that's fine, just isn't for me. cheers
