Nice review. Although I have to say I didn't really notice the "jangling" guitars (granted, I'm not the most perceptive of people), maybe because I connect them with British dance-rock bands. Do I even know what jangling means? I always thought it was a high pitched guitar sound and the YYYs always sported the exact opposite, deep, dirty and distorted guitar which gave them such a huge sound even though there's only 3 people in the band (and effectively only 2 instruments). :\
Incidentally I like the album, although I would say it isn't on par with Show your bones.
