So, this is really fucking good. It's absolutely the best thing they've done, and one of the best albums of the year. They've added alot of shoegaze type texture to their electroclash and it works so well. It rocks alot more then the other albums, yet is still catchy as hell. Guitars sound like synths and synths sound like guitars. There's alot more dark atmosphere which contrasts, but works well with, their usual seedy synth driven sound. "Destroy Everything You Touch", "International Dateline" and "Soft Power" are fucking stellar.

:shock:

I didn't even realize they had a new album coming out. 604 is at the top of my "to buy" list. I love that album.

What's the release date on this one?

I think it's out next month. It just leaked though. I can YSI if you want but i'll have to do it tommorow cos it's 1am and I have a mid semester test tomorrow so I should get some sleep.

I enjoyed 604 and Light & Magic, but this blows both away.

Hmm...August 29 isn't far away, but I'm leaving for San Francisco tomorrow and I'd like to have it for the trip. If you get a chance to YSI, I'd really appreciate it.

If it blows away 604, it must be amazing. That album really is excellent.

Well, what I can do is leave the Colinswood running and leave my computer on while I sleep, then you can YSI it.

Okay, got it.

Anyone who's interested can grab it from me on Colinswood.

Nonsense. Sugar is only like the 4th or 5th best song on there.
