Former leader of The Format ew band.
I saw that a couple of you have heard it and like it, but there is a distinct lack of chatter on here about them.
I loved Dog Problems.
Curious to hear about this new project from those who have heard them.
Anyone?

This is pretty good, even if the chorus is a bit disco.

Favorite album of the year. Not close. Track one is pretty miserable, but the rest of it is pure awesome. Tracks 6 + 7 together make about 7 minutes of the greatest pop music ever recorded.

i dug the Format, and will make all efforts to hear this out!

I think it's a very solid album but doesn't hold a candle to Dog Problems which was my #1 of the year a couple of years ago. With Aim & Ignite, the whole thing is pretty solid but it's missing the really strong individual tracks Format albums had.

There was some talk on here before the album came out: http://www.obner.org/board/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=42359&start=0&hilit=Fun+The+format

Thanks for the link.
I am a piss-poor user of the Obner "search" function, so that is appreciated.

damn, did I miss the link?

they're fucking huge...sold out some pretty big shows here...

Tried and tried. Never could get into the Format. This is really not doing it.

Love the record, which was in my top 10 of last year. I dig all the tracks, but "I Wanna Be The One" is my jam.

Missed them when they were here last week (Fun Fun Fun Fest pre-parties overruled them, plus it was sold out) and am kinda bummed I did.

be calm was on my best of 2009 mix, i had trouble getting into the rest of the disc but its still fun. no dog problems, however
