Aah you Scots, I have no idea what you just said

Anyway, I am glad to see this back on the front page. Perhaps if we resurrect a few more, we could get rid of that review for that average scouse band.....Screaming Nights? Beaming Lights? I can't remember.

I might create a seperate account just to start the backlash

Hey I ordered this from HMV's website for £6.99 - bargain!

There won't be no backlash I can assure you.

£6.99 is a bit of a bargain - I got mine free but I did buy their earlier EP which is well worth the £4 it cost if only for the track 'The Pains of Being Pure of Heart' which ain't on the album.

You won't be disappointed I'm sure.

If there's one thing I've learnt Marky Mark, it's that there is sadly ALWAYS a backlash - pathetic isn't it?

How come you got it free, you lucky booger?

I got the promo copy from their PR so I could write some wonderful words about it, I think I'll be going out and buying a copy anyway as I like to have the physical copy as I'm a bit of a completist.

True I suppose a backlash could happen but I'd like to be naive and say there won't be I don't think it deserves it but then I guess if there were a backlash then clearly they must be doing something right to merit it.

Well it finally arrived this week, and I have to say I am not dissapointed one bit. It's an exceptional album.

What strikes me the most is how so many of the songs sound like absolute Indie classics. There is nothing original about them, but they do what the do so goddam well, and write reeeeeeally good songs.

Glad your diggin' it, I know what you mean it's like some kinds of greatest ever indie-pop classics compilation album - yet all by the one band.

I keep listening to it over and over, and my favourite tune changes with every listen.
