K, I downloaded 33 Revolutions a Minute and it's pretty good, but hasn't grabbed me straight away, their choruses/hooks are weak.
My initial perceptions from the youtube clip haven't changed, I'd still prefer a harder edged delivery, especially when they pick up the beat (Spot on My Nose), the vocals tend to get buried. Some tracks, like Droppin Elocution strike the right balance.
The production is good, but not all that varied. The Irish folk influence is interesting, it doesn't always work but on Dark are the Days it's brilliant.
I'm going to let this sink in more, but right now my favourite tracks are Drifting and Demented.
