this is an amazing review, perfectly encapsulates the head-melting, common sense obliterating emptiness and frustration i feel when presented with a band like The Twang.

who deserve better than a reviewer who's obviously been handed the album, wikipedia'd them, gone 'omg theyre young!', 'omg theyre named after a curry house!', 'omg! i can shoehorn an unnecessary Interpol reference in because the singer had a mildly low singing voice' and rubbed his hands together with glee.

this is one of the worst reviews i think i've ever read.

in the album title = never to be labelled bedwetters! And for every moment of sensitivity there's a moment of fun like the little addition to the end of Ghost and the harder section in Cancel On Me. I think it's only his singing style that provokes that comment but for me the singing style elevates the songs and makes them a lot more affecting than had they been sung by your average British singer.
Bombay Bicycle Club for the win.

so I'm going to have to completely disagree, I think they're one of the most promising bands out there and Jack Steadman is definitely one of the strongest songwriters. The only reservation I have with this album is that as a standalone it's not the best representation of the band; you really need to hear the EPs, for songs like Open House, Pedestal, Maybe More, and better versions of The Hill. But yeah the slightly lukewarm reception to this album baffles me because I think they're an incredible band. They definitely warrant seeing live and investigating past this album.
And this was a terrible review, from the very first line.. it touched on (and then painfully dwelled on) all the same points that the journalist who writes for the Metro did, and that's not really what I come onto DiS hoping for.

:)

Fuck yeah!

Listening to the other two now.

Ready, Able really stands out, for some reason, probably because Two Weeks and While You Wait I was already familiar with... But I love the whole thing.

criminally overlooked!

don't bet against?

he actually makes a lot of sense. worst news ever.

but not Be Your Own Pet. they're trashy, loud and fun and that's exactly what i want from them. obviously there are times that I want more challenging music and interesting directions but Be Your Own Pet have their own special qualities and do what they do very well indeed. and any 'serious' review of an album like this is pretty much beyond belief. the best songs aptly sum up exactly how it feels to be in your late teens, and the other songs are just pure fun.

is brilliant too

this is my favourite album so far this year.

i love how he tries to be all badass and order the crowd to beat the guy up and the response is a much larger bottle being thrown at him.

are absolutely awesome.

is dire.

whilst thinking of dodgems and candy floss. you know it makes sense.

what you'd get if Architecture In Helsinki or someone similarly indie-pop covered the irritating music you hear at the amusements on Brighton pier.
