What are your thoughts on this? I've had it downloaded for a few months but only started listening to it recently. The lyrics are all delivered with a bit of a smirk and a wink, and quite funny. It's at least as good as the Formed A Band single last year. 'Emily Kane' and 'My Little Brother' are great songs.

i actually expected more from them. the production is crap, and takes away from the raw energy that art brut are known for.

i don't care for it at all, and i'm a fan since their demo days.

I'm not quite sure what to think of this. I've been listening to it a fair amount lately and like it, but I'm not sure if it will stick.

If I had enough money for two albums a week I'd probably pick it up but I only have enough money for one album a week do I probably won't pick it up.

I have the 'Formed A Band' single though.

I bought it while in Scotland. It's fun but I don't see it as leaving a lasting impression. I've a feeling that they're much better live vs recorded.

I listened to it twice while running errands for work. I love it so far. I love the lyrics, and they are totally putting themselves out there. Moving to L.A. is stellar.

I think it's really good and love how obnoxious they are. It is making a much stronger impression on me that I expected it to.
