    Great album. One of the best of the year, and its been a pretty dire year for music imo. Up there with their best stuff

    Yeah, these three months have really been awful and are the perfect indication of the whole year..

    Underwhelmed. A few good songs, a few duds, a few meh.

    I was so excited about it coming out that it just felt like a big let-down. It won't be getting too many plays once the novelty wears off and Room On Fire gets taken out again instead.

    Still, Under Cover of Darkness has been stuck in my head in a big way over the last few days. Makes football awkward as I have a weird habit of breathing to the beat of songs :D

    Ditto all of the above for me too, well except for the weird football breathing bit...

    Ya, I know, it's weird :p... Worst was way back in the days of polyphonic ringtones and right before a match The Torreador's Song rang off somewhere on the sideline. Needless to say I was out of breath for a lot of that match!

    Solid album imo :)

    Still, there older albums are better.

    Can't wait to see them at Oxegen, should be decent :cool:

    Love this album and their new direction, reminds me of The Cars and Julians voice really suits the poppy, synth sound, best track is Games love it. Check it out live on Conan:
