Agreed.

I always download a torrent or borrow from a friend before I buy. Otherwise what's the point?

I just don't understand people who don't download music, it's completely beyond me. Great thread idea, but it probably isn't going to work like Satchmo said.

Based on what I've heard, I don't like their sound at all. Sounds like very contrived indie to me. And I hate their name.

I really liked the song Some Loud Thunder. I got the version that wasn't all static-y though. The vocals were kinda bizzare but I liked that about it. Got the album and have yet to give it a good listen to. I also picked up In The Areoplane Over The Sea by Neutral Milk Hotel FINALLY (been meaning to do that for awhile) and I absolutely love it.

Yes they should, that name is both unweildy and requires too much typing...

But I believe Shoe is lookingfor opinions on their music... which, sadly, I cannot provide...

*USELESS POST ALERT!*

why isn't this a member journal called 'let's talk about my favourite bands this week'?

:p:

Because I wanted you guys to post bands you had questions about too haha. And seeing as mine has not been answered I'll just answer it myself.
The album was nothing phenomenal, but I did enjoy it. I like the vocalist even though its a little abnormal. Nothing made this really pop out for me but I did enjoy it enough I believe.
