I'm not listening to them very much nowadays. But they will be at the Meridian in Houston tomorrow. It's like one of 2 tour dates they have this fall or something.

I saw them twice. Last fall and this summer. I'm a huge fan, own everything by them, so I thought they were great.

If you're just a casual fan, it's hard to say.

Seen 'em once, I wasn't disappointed.

I've seen them once. I thought they were awesome musically speaking, but Isaac Brock wasn't that active on stage and seemed disinterested to be performing. The rest of the band was a bit more professional on stage IMO.

Same. I've got a live show from more recently that is pretty awesome as well.

From what I've heard, Issac is prone to having some off nights because, uh, he's a pretty fucked up dude.

I've seen them twice. The first show was great, but the second was less than stellar. If you're a fan I'd say definitely take the chance and see them.

I'm a fan in the sense that I love Good News for People Who Love Bad News and most of The Moon and Antarctica and Lonesome Crowded West. I have two other albums by them that I didn't really get into: This is a Long Drive... and Building Nothing Out of something. I'll try and check it out if it isn't sold out.

I've heard form reliable sources that their really old shows were drunken crap. I've seen them a couple of times recently, though (but not since Good News...) and they have been amazing - sonically, at least. Brock doesn't dance around so much, it's true. But that's OK by me.

Saw them open up for Built to spill a couple of years ago and they blew B2S away. I was pretty glad I went. Crowd might be a bit different, these days, since their popularity has kind of mushroomed.

Go see em.

I really wasn't into them until I saw them live.
