This album is alright. There's some obvious parts where they fly too close to the Paul Simon sun like California English and there's that brutal song White Sky (aaaaaa-AAAA aaaaa-AAAAA ooo-ooo-ooo-oooo.) But there are better songs like Holiday, Cousins, and the closer I Think UR a Contra.

I remember this was the first album of 2010 that I knew about, so I bought it blindly for $5 on Amazon. I enjoy it a little bit, but this kind of wimpy indie folk is just way too common nowadays.

I was a bit disappointed in this album when it came out, but now I've looked past that. It's not as good as their debut obviously, but it's still a very fun indie-pop record 
70/100

voted "The Whitest Band Ever" by some poll I saw 
but this is actually areally nice album, not as good as the first ut still...songs like White Sky, Cousins and Diplomat's Son and especially Run make it worth something.

I prefer this to their debut quite a bit. The last three songs really make it an enjoyable and interesting album.
