"I find this alum really bland and repetitive. I liked Don Cab 2, it seemed really innovative and dynamic, but this seems like lots of the same thing repeated with little variation for 5 or so minutes at a time. Also, the whole happy vibe doesnt really fit well with the genre, at least to me"  Reply

"I still prefer the bareness of "if it was you" but they've evolved their sound in a more "professional" studio setting (partially helmed by death cab's Chris walla) to deliver some fun, new wavey lite girl punk that still finds a way to display their narcissistic view of love in a sunny, upbeat f..."  [+]  Reply
