When criticizing albums of bands that I'm not entirely too familiar with, I try to give them the benefit of whatever doubt. In case the work simply doesn't click with me.I pretty much thing this album sucks. I loved "All Mod Cons" and then to get this generic, poppy piece of crap was a giant disappointment.
Especially maddening to hear them rip off Steve Miller's "Swing Town" ("Pretty Green") and then to get ripped off themselves by Franz Ferdinand ("Set the House Ablaze").
It took me about three solid listens to realize that I was never going to enjoy this album.
