Some words about the record...

"US Weekly have been lavished with faint/qualified praise from persons who think words like 'young', 'interesting', 'Austin' and 'underground' are in any way evocative of something worthy of your valuable time. Let's be very clear about this ? the quartet in question isn't merely interesting, they're nothing short of fascinating, a collision of parts-shouldn't-fit influences with the end result being more akin to a spectacular montage than a car wreck. Stylistically, they're nobody's idea of a prototypical Austin band (punk or otherwise), but if your local retailer wants to establish a bin marked 'smart pop experiments that totally work', I wish them lots of luck finding other records nearly this good to fill the space. A debut album this audacious yet artifice-free is pretty goddamn rare; whatever magician is responsible for accurately translating US Weekly?s wild onstage chemistry to the studio deserves a Merlin Awards (TM) trophy. Or perhaps something similar from a body devoted to recorded music, if one's ever formed (though it seems a little late a in the day for that). "

Nick's right - dumb and offensive. Call it something else, if you think it's important to note in the first place.

Haven't even listened to this band, because...I love my Denton pals, but it's hard for me to muster enough enthusiasm to check out Radioactivity (haven't) and this sounds like it would be similar/inferior to that. Mentions of "basement pop punk" don't help the matter. Seems like they're suddenly a big deal, though, so good for them.

Inferior? Nah. And uh, "basement pop punk?" Not really that either.

I'm digging them, try listening to them a bit more if you can't see the appeal at first. I think the comparisons are somewhat accurate, but there are many other bands who are more derivative and executing it worse. Got to see them live recently and they're good performers, quite intense, I guess.

I think their lyrics are pretty great, probably my favourite at the moment.

"Instant Disassembly" hits hard man, Savage's lyrics have grown into a beast of their own.
