And I gotta say that their album really grew on me, like I never thought it could. I started getting this vibe from it that made me feel like a little kid again. There's a cool sort of youthful exuberance in a lot of their songs that I wasn't picking up on before. That said, the violinist must be blowing the engineer, because often it's mixed way to the front, and the drummer can't do anything remotely compelling. Beyond that, good album, after all.
