Who's heard it? What's the verdict? I typically like 'em, but Team Boo was something of a disappointment, especially considering it was produced by the great Jim Eno.

I am anxious to hear it as well. I have not heard anything about it either.

I've heard good reviews, but I am anxious to actually hear some trackage.

I have it and absolutely love it. It's far more straight-forward than their previous releases, which in my opinion, is a good thing. They've moved away from their baroque "Fiery Furnace-esque" tendencies and made some great acessable pop that relies on their trademark harmonies and counter melodies. "Fraud In the 80's" has been available as a free download for some time, so if you like that song, and I do, you'll like the rest. It's great.

alright kids, i'll be nice and upload. :)

my opinion of it? i haven't heard of them until i heard the track "think long" which i really liked then it opened me up to them... the album itself has been in heavy rotation the past week for me.

also on my "to see" list for coachella.

Awesome puma...

For some reason, I didn't know they had a new one until this thread.

They're fun to watch live. They're both extremely talented and really know how to sing well together.

!!! I heard a song on KEXP yesterday and just about creamed myself.

One of my favorite active bands. No band can make me smile like they can. GAWD!! I love them. Can´t wait to hear this.

I'm not in favor of employing the term "I just about creamed myself."

It´s certainly reserved for the most special of cases. Hearing a new Mates of State song is definitely cause for ´creaming´one´s self.

Okay, I really like this. I actually found myself going "aww, it's over all ready?" at the end of the first listen.

I liked the single, but haven't picked it up yet - been buying a lot of music and music-related stuff lately, so I'm holding off on this one...

She's definitely pretty, but doesn't he look like a young Harry Dean Stanton or someone equally repulsive? I mean, he's no Daryl Dragon.

I got their four-song EP for free and it's probably the gayest thing I've ever heard.
