i heard them for the first time in Europe a few months ago where they seem to be a lot bigger of a deal, and I am very surprised to see American put out a sound like this. better than most of the garbage posted here by far. so I can understand why most people on here aren't that into them.

The potential is there.

These guys blow live.

One of those bands where I like two or three songs, yet have no desire to pick up a full length. Call it 'musical intuition'-the ability to differentiate between a band who can pull off a full length, and one that can't. Judging by the majority of comments, I appear to be correct.

I'm going to have to disagree with you there.... I think. I saw them live at bonnaroo and I thought they were awesome. That was the only time I saw them live tho, and I was tripping hardcore at the time so that may have clouded my judgement lol.

I read an interview and the intervierer asked them why they suck live and they said they brought up a good point. They're young and getting alot of publicity. Everyone expects them to have it all figured out, but there still working out all the kinks in live shows and everything.

That being said they do suck live.

hahahahah, I have a theory that any electronic band will seriously suck live. Who wants to hear a computer perform? Now, I do think some of their album is not electronic, actually worth listening to, and not all exactly like Time To Pretend, Electric Feel and Kids. Those of you who said you only listened to part of the album, I assume heard those, as they are the popular ones. But, again, I gotta go with my electronic bands should be heard on an album with their friendly computers making it pretty. Save concerts for real musicians. (too harsh?)

OK, I just realized that Radiohead HAS to be excluded from my statement, for reasons obvious to us all.

Too much of a broad statement
but I'd say it's largely true
However, I am in an electronic music act...and we ****ing rock live.
