it's ok...got bored of it REALLY quickly though

there's a nice bit of variety on the new album. bits of orchestral, 80's symph, and still plenty of their original rockier sound.

I'm liking it too! Looking forward to them coming back to San Diego!

You need to forget the awesomeness of the guitars we know from the others albums. They are exploring and trying something with this one. It was a wish from Karen O to do that kind of songs. Its not bad but...

yeah yeah, we know.

well, not going back on my original comments as i still really like the new stuff, but it's encouraged me to listen to their old stuff again and admittedly it's perhaps not quite in the same league.
same thing with kings of leon. loved their new album, then got back to listening to all their earlier tunes again, and my opinion slightly changed.
- I agree about the Kings of Leon. The old stuff is my favorite. Four Kicks is such a great song. Nothing new compares to it.Knuckleberry
- couldn't agree more. i had four kicks as my alarm call for a long time, and it was a great way to start the day :)dinnum

Bands should never mature from their original sound.

I'll give this a listen later. Hope Karen O gets voice training.
- what??? her voice is the best part of it. so sexy.iCanHazQBN
- I could point out so many shitty aspects of her singing. She's made it work.juhls
- i love her voice, you probably sound like a bear.nicole_marie

I love it...been listening to it over and over again. I really like the track "Hysteric."

it's HORRIBLE.

- FUJackRyan

JackRyan - Dion? ;)JackRyan
- That was more for Juhls...JackRyan
- you can't be serious. everyone knows - even qbn haters - that canadian indie rock is the cream of teh crop.inkpink
- who the fuck cares from where the music comes from..
grow upelektro - Yeah, who the fuck cares where the music comes from (he says on the solid as fuck footing of coming from Manchester)Wolfboy
- You guys are talking about Jack....pretty sure he was kidding.juhls

place your bets on the Pitchfork rating here and now... just for fun (yeah their reviews are full of BS but at the end of the day the #rating has some relevance).
i'll go on record @ 5.6
would like to think lower but the YYY's are PF babies so they won't bury them anything sub 5.
- inkpink0
case in point, the leather jacket song/video. zero is about right. all karen o. if you make it to the end you'll notice how bored the other 2 band members look. the drummer even had to wear sunglasses he's so uninspired.
- the boys have always look bored anyway.iCanHazQBN
- plus, she's the lead. what do you expect?iCanHazQBN
- airey0
if inkpink says they blow then i'm behind the theory. he know's a few things about blowing...
- Ruffian0
I really like Dull Life and pretty much everything after second track. I agree that their previous stuff was by far better.
- Horp0
I really loved Fever To Tell. Still do and haven't ever got bored of it. I was really disappointed by the follow up Show Your Bones and can't really make the effort to listen to it. I doubt I'll like this new one but I'll probably give it a shot for old time's sake.
I do however love the cover art image.
