    Have only had a couple of listens but all good so far.
    Doesn't Track 2 sound remarkably like the Pixies?

    After two listens, taking it all in and its great. Knocked Up is probably one of the best opening tracks in a long time, great track. On the single, "On Call", very Pearl Jam like, and Charmer, yes it does sound like the Pixies!

    I only got it yesterday, have listened to it 3 times now + love it. All three of their studio albums are class, can't wait to see them at Oxegen.

    Also got Enter Shikari's "Take to the Skies" yesterday.......haven't really listened to it yet, seems a bit too heavy for my liking but I'm sure it'll grow on me over time.

    possibly cos they supported them on their tour?

    cant wait to get my hands on the album from the reviews here. I saw them in Lansdowne in 05 (i think...) supporting the pixies (went to see KoL mainly) but the sound was AWFUL. for both bands. Wont be there but hope they do themselves justice in Oxegen.

    To start you off, I would recomend their 2nd album "Aha shake Heartbreak" one of those albums where every song is quality and you can listen to it from start to finish several times over.

    In saying that their new one "Because of the times" is slowly catching up to it IMO.

    They'll be huge after this album - 3rd Classic in a row.

    brilliant live as well. The new album is a grower, very different but on constant repeat!

    Top band alright. Saw them a couple of years ago supporting Travis (of all fu**in bands) at Alexandra Palace in London. When the Kings finished their set half the crowd fu**ed off home! Mark of quality IMO

    cant stop listening to Charmer (veyr much like Pixies covering "Beat it" with added screaming) and Fans (which I find strangely poignant ) at the moment

    True Love Way, Arizona, Camaro all hitting the spot too. Just a class album, easily my favourite this year so far.
