Title: just beautiful....
Review: This is what happens when pop is done right! None of this plastic teenybopper fluff that we get bombarded with ala Ashlee Simpson, American Idol winners, etc etc. This is what happens when bands get together with great, timeless influences and craft a gem of an album with more thought and feeling in one verse than anything you'd be apt to hear on MTV. So what if they borrow some ideas or stylings from Morrissey or the Cure. Is that really so bad? This album is just freakin' beautiful from beginning to end, not one duff track or bit of filler material to be found. Wow, what a concept! If only more bands put as much work into their albums. Even Belle & Sebastian would be envious of this one. The best Britpop album to come around in years, and they're not even British! For fans of Morrissey/the Smiths, the Cure, Echo & the Bunnymen, Orange Juice, the Mighty Lemon Drops, etc. Get this now.
