First album; no

where he'd been drunk and seen the lead singer in his wheelchair. he'd only ever see the band on one of their music videos and so hadn't realised the guy was actually disabled.

"mate, are you the guy from mystery jets? what are you doing in that? stop playing around in that wheelchair, come on, out you get!"

silence. frosty looks. housemate felt bad. still eminates noticeable sense of self-loathing and guilt four days later.

the flotsam and jetsom EP, i hear thats the only place you can now get lizzies lion (their best song) other than the zootime 7"

I thought it was sub-Jonathan Richman consciously lo-fi pop that been done 6 million times before by 6 million better acts if I'm being kind.

Or Scouting for Girls covering the Pigeon Detectives if I wasn't.

I'm really confused based on the strength of that how they're seen as more critically credible than either of the two acts in the above sentence.

completely, but i think i prefer the first album. whatever it was called :/

I listened to their first album once, laughed at it and dismissed it as crap.

I then begrunglingly listened to their new album a few months back and can't stop. Truly a great, GREAT pop record and one of the best albums of 2008 so far. Nearly every song is wonderful especially Flakes, Veiled In Grey and Two Doors Down.

I really should listen to their first album again.

i really like it! it's one of my favourite records of the past year.

what is their first album like?

but the rest of it I can take or leave really still even after trying so much since it came out. The rest of it all blurs into one for me.

isn't it?

and ran away.

I loved You Can't Fool Me Dennis. But then they changed that. And then they released their album. And then I realised I seriously did not like them.
