Yeah, its pretty good
you can't really take it too seriously tho, it's a bit rubbish, in a good way! Awesome live!
yeah i like it
and i also like their second one, cause it's just like their first.
Yes.
And their second. Poppy goodness.
it's inoffensive
but i'd hardly say it's great music.
It's no New Found Glory.
Well, New Found Glory = "Meh"
But the album is okay.
that's what i meant
it's no New Found Glory as in "it's not unbearably embarrassing"
(not intended to be snappy there btw,
i recognise it was poor structure on my part)
Brilliant
as is the 2nd album. Me admitting to liking them did casue a vast amount of LOLs, but I do actually think they are a pretty decent band.
Great band...
Yeah the debut album is a cracker, but the second one is really their best. As has been mentioned here as well, they're great live too! But aye, the second album is a bit poppier and more immediate but the first album feels a bit more like a complete album.
I started a thread on BT a week or so ago
about their second album, which is fucking ace. Not got into the first album yet - I did listen once a while ago and it didn't seem to grab me as much as the second.
Is the second album better than the first?
I think I still prefer the first.
The second one's easier to get into: perserve with the debut for sure.
oh right
and where the fuck were you when I started that thread the other week, huh?
You've made me look like a FOOL.
(I will perserve with the 1st album.)
I'm surprised by all this love for their second
I couldn't get into it at all.
