First impressions?

For me, it's decent but I can see it growing on me even more.

It's great Chris, i love it, although it does need a few spins. 'Country mile' is a sweet track.

i think they've shirked their supposed-b&s sound nearly completely with this album. good, upbeat stuff. need more listens.

It's funny but I couldn't help but compare this album to B&S' latest release. Not that it sounds the same but I still did.

I heard "Lloyd, I'm Ready to Be Heartbroken" on the local college radio station, liked the song but had no idea who it was by. I'd never listened to Camera Obscura before. Then I downloaded this album from emusic today, and was pleasantly surprised with my find. Good songs.

This album was my first exposure (haha) to camera obscure and I was pretty impressed. The last song, Razzle Dazzle Rose kinda kicks ass. I haven't really listened to the new B&S enough to form a proper opinion but right now I'm enjoying Let's Get Out of This Country more.

Great song as are "Let's Get Out of This Country" and "Lloyd, I'm Ready To Be Heartbroken."

This is a possible number one for me. Not quite there yet but it's gaining momentum fast. Love everything but the creepy cover which I don't have to look at much because I downloaded it from eMusic.
