    Well, I have to admit that I find her quite sexy even though its widely reported that she bats for the other side, so to speak.

    I'm also relieved that no one has given it a 1/10 (so far), thereby declaring that I'm a Knob



    Cheers,
    Martin

    Is the drummer female? (S)he seems to have a girls name, though looks as she might be that way inclined as well.

    Not my thing but I quite enjoyed it, told my daughter about it and she already has the previous album.
    I do really like the last track which is a remix of the second, my daughter knew the original and was very impressed by the remix.
    Cheers Martin I'll give it 7/10.

    Definitely a grrrrl, although I never noticed her before. I thought the band was Beth Ditto and 2 blokes

    It's a real foot tapper indeed, but for me the stand out track on the CD is Love Long Distance.

    I just realised that the youtube video titled 'Move in the right direction' that I've linked to, isn't actually on this album -ooops! Great track and video though.

    Cheers,
    Martin

    I've given what i can find of this lot a whirl and okay is about it for me.
    I don't think I would buy anything I've heard so far but I can listen to it without twitching too much.

    I really shouldn't worry in the slightest what others may think about your musical taste Martin.

    Thanks John,

    It's a bit scary putting up your first album, especially if you're a (relatively) new member

    I wanted to select something that most people didn't already have or had heard, although I did toy with putting DSOTM up instead at the last minute

    Cheers,
    Martin

    It certainly has some merit and a strong beat throughout. A couple of stand-out tracks are very listenable on their own - For Keeps and Heavy Cross. Not really my thing but I've voted according to your scale so 6/10 from me.
