Just finished listening through it at work. I had previously heard The Mother We Share and Recover on The Current, but for some reason couldn't really get into them that much. I liked them but nothing blew me away about 'em. Which was curious to me because I heard many people raving about the band.

After listening to the album I think I 'get it' now. I get it and I highly enjoyed the album. Really good all-around, but - like those two songs - it just didn't blow me away in any respect. I think By the Throat was my favorite song. A lot of the tunes gave me similar vibes to MGMT, but more poppy/electronic. Actually, the album reminded me a lot of the band Eight and a Half.

Although it's super catchy, I don't really feel compelled to listen all the way through again, but I'll give it a try and see if it grows on me.
