This band is awesome. I highly recommend their first and only album. Who else likes?

they have a few decent songs, but Alex is a total poser/faux hippie imo.

esp. if you watch this Ima Robot video from just 4 years ago and see what he used to be like:

I've been meaning to pick up their album based solely on that one song on the radio. I take it the rest of the album is awesome too, Matty?

I'm downloading this. If it sucks, I'm holding Matt and Pete responsible.

I really like it. One of the best albums I've heard in a year or two. It's fun and hooks you immediately.

I can't see how someone wouldn't like this album if they like Arcade Fire. I get a similar vibe.

Really? Were you purposely avoiding them? 'Cause they were pretty much everywhere about 5 or 6 years ago.

"Funeral" is pretty much a great record and I can prove that with facts.

I saw these guys at the Telluride Bluegrass Festival. I bought the CD. I haven't listened for a few weeks, but I like it... Time for another spin methinks.
