I really liked Mirror. Much more abrasive sound and wicked catchy.
Out from the races... Good, dancy.
Echos grew on me, and eventually felt like it was the new Cure album that The Cure wouldn't make.
This new stuff is straight garbage.
Oh well, not everyone can be Skynyrd.

Since I haven't heard their previous work I don't think this is all that bad. But I agree about the vocals...not something I'd listen to normally.

awful. i agree to the trying to hard to sound hip point. the vocal gets annoying and redudnant, melodies aren't as tight, more mellow (radio friendly?), they're just worn out.
im comparing to echoes though, which was great. the album before that forget the name its yellow. very different sound.

there's a few good tracks, but for the most part quite weak. Much of it sounds like disco bullshit.

damn. i really like one song, hate some others. only disappointing in comparison to the last album. i think i'll still be listening to echoes after i stop listening to this one.

Think it's their third LP.
The first one was crap though.

I'm pretty sure this is their fourth album.

I always thought they sound like Robert Smith fronting some deranged Hot Chocolate offset on speed.

You'll like "Echoes" then...a little less dancey than POTPWL but good nonetheless.

Indie/dance type music is what I like....
- republik80
Dance-punk?
- republik80
Hmm, strange i didn't think it was like the debut at all. Much more party orientated.
Jaline > You should check out their first album, called "Echoes".

Sounds like the first album to a certain extent, which is not necessarily a bad thing.
Best out of the 4 is the title track I think.
I don't even know what to genre Rapture as, I just know I like it.
It's too dancey to be Indie, haha.
