Yeah, I saw them at a really small venue that probably should house 250 people, but seemed more like 500 were there. Still, even though you couldn't really get a lot of elbow room it rocked seriously. They are playing a festival near here this summer too, but I'm not sure if I'm going to make it to that one. Just so much to do this summer....But their sound is HUGE (and original), definitely festival worthy.

I just hope their second album isn't disappointing. I thought they only had the one?? (Oracular Spectacular) You know how you really like a band's first album and then they release the second and they haven't progressed? They are pretty original I hope they can keep it up. Great album though.

I got 'Oracular Spectacular' after being badgered into it. I wonder why really. I think I have played the album twice maybe? Certainly nothing spectacular in my book.

Their EP is far better. Less distortion on the songs so they're actually listenable.

The only song I like off of OS is Electric Feel.

Their EP is better but the album is still solid, getting better with more listens, even though its been out for like forever now.

I really liked this band at first... but I guess it was the videos that got me to buy their CD. You have to be absolutely high to really appreciate those music videos

I thought some of their songs were really great. I loved Electric Feel (also a strange music video...>_> ). But after listening to it for a while... their sound really gets kinda old...

I'm thinking about getting their EP though... I hear it's pretty good :/

I'm never listening to this band again. I can't get that ****ing single out of my head and I know that it isn't all that special...
