I was lurking at the CMJ board when Funeral was released, and there were a few people who weren't feelin' it as much as the rest of us.

Were YOU one of those people, did you ever come around? :P

I'm still not on the train. I don't like the vocals at all.

This album didn't grow on me, it shrank.

It’s fucking Brilliant! I held off playing it so I would not burn out, played it the other day and was very happy.

I made it through two full spins and shelved it. It will not be resurrected.

Not so big on riding music trains. CD's pretty good, though.

if someone put them on at a party i wouldn't complain. but if someone started talking about how awesome they are, i'd kick them in the neck.

bort

np: the vogues (the band that brought us such hits as "You're The One" and "5 0'Clock World"!)

I was not impressed. More bored with it than anything else.

I've heard it once and thought it had merit, but it didn't give me an obner or anything.

Oh, and after seeing the Conan O'Brien performance, that really sealed the deal that I don't give a shit about this band.

I caved in and listened to them. They suck.

I have 4 songs off of it. I really like the first track. I can't recall the others. I really haven't put much energy into listening to it. I'd love to hear the album as a whole.

I like this album. but I don't see the reason why it is looked at so heavenly. It's just music.
