Since they have a new album coming out, might as well discuss them...
I actually really liked their first album. I thought making half of it more "classical" music and the other half more electronic was a neat idea. I thought that the lyrics could be witty at times but all in all I enjoyed the lyrics.
They didn't always sing about girls either, like a lot of people like to think.
So for their new album, it's supposed to be more Beatles influenced and upbeat. Nine in the Afternoon is a pretty good song so as much as I get shit on for saying this... I'm looking forward to the new album (Pretty.Odd., though I'm not a fan of the title).
