Rated a Very Helpful Review by the Epinions community Jun 28, 2012
Pros: Eclectic lyrics, carefully placed noise, dynamic sound and some of the catchiest hooks ever.
Cons: A couple tracks are a bit weak.
Summary: Where to start? Well, I guess I'll start off by saying that this is, without a doubt, one of the best alternative rock albums I've ever listened to. The record pulses originality.The moment you pop this baby in, "Summer Babe ... read more

Pros: never gets old
Cons: not for those who don't like flat vocals
Summary: I absolutely agree with dharma's opinion and there isn't much to add- she covered the subject well.
