I really love this band's debut. So I was pretty dissapointed by how boring this album was. I really like 'Horchata' 'Taxi Cab' and 'Giving Up The Gun', but those are the only stand-out tracks. Overall I'd say 'Good', but I excpected a lot more.

I felt exactly the same my first listen. But now, to me, this album is a lot more sophisticated than their debut. It doesn't have the same hits, but after my 3rd listen straight through, I found that every track had an endearing quality to it. They have kept their quality sound and just changed their style. I love it.

This album was far less immediate than their debut, but I have grown to write it. The lyrics are atrocious though, bland, non-sensical...an irritant to an interesting mix of sounds.

I heard cousins and they could leave off the last two minutes of the song. However, I'd love to know where they found the cover art.

one of my faves so far this year

I voted good. There's some really good songs on it and it's fairly consistent overall, but there's just that extra magic touch missing. I still have it on high rotation at the moment though, and i really love that album cover.
