I think Farms was quite long for an album, bit of a shame because they do have some good songs there. They're just overdone.

The last album was a good length though, at about 35 minutes. For an album with a steady pace and a band with nearly constant vocals, that's about perfect.

I didn't know about this band until recently, Violent & Funky mentioned the album and I decided to give it a try, not really heard the others to cast a vote. Only heard
Fuckin-A once. But
The Body.. was instant with me, really liked it. I thought the vocals fit the music really well but that's just me. I do agree with the 'Indie' voice, but I felt it mixed the pop punk and Indie well.. Albums between 30 and 40 minutes are what I look for. Vampire Weekend's debut was like 30 minutes, straight to the point and I like that.
