I liked this one pretty well at first, but it didn't hold up well at all to repeat listens. Got old real fast.

Silence is sometimes a result of tact rather than neglect. Just sayin'.

Just glad that you listened.

EDIT: And that doesn't change my own assessment of it.

they definitely seem like the type of band that would be exponentially better in a live setting

Well i can't disagree, that is surely alien to an American.

DBT, Beach House, Tame Impala, Wavves, and Sleigh Bells have been getting lots of spins. Though I see Sleigh Bells eventually wearing thin.

Dick Meatwood · **Posted:** Fri Jul 30, 2010 7:07 pm

Yeah at first I hated Sleigh Bells, then I really liked it, and now I think I'm becoming indifferent.

Maybe I'll end up back where I started.

I understand the wearing thin part. I think it absolutely is to be taken in small doses. But, for what it is, I love it.
