It's a tremendous album. Short, sweet and infectious as fuck. Gets a bit 'glam' in places as well which is terrific.
It took me a while to truly appreciate Brothers (which I now love) but this new one is far more instant and packed with tune after tune.

Lonely Boy is also the catchies song I've heard for a very long time.

So far it's just a song or two that I don't find at least to be great. Nova Baby, Little Black Submarines and Run Right Back are breathtakingly good.
So far so good with their fame. They haven't crashed and burnt like Kings of Leon did.

Yeah that's the thing with them, their sound changed, it's more 'commercial' so to speak, but it's still very good and they still seem pretty down to Earth, unlike those Tennessee-born Soho-wannabe cunts.

I think this album will probably soundtrack much of my Christmas.

Enjoying this a lot, seems like a natural progression from Brothers to me. Similar sounds/production I guess.

As much as I want them to make 2-piece garage rock records if they kept making the same record nobody would care anymore. Even the White Stripes eventually added more sounds & influences to the mix.
Plus they are not playing it safe cos they called Carl Barret a 'fucking prick' in an interview the other day, punk rock!

Thing is, they can always go back to that sound. Let them churn out a couple more great albums in the vein of the last 2 then BAM!! Hit us with another dirty, 2-piece, dirty, bluesy, garage rock record.

I wouldn't count on them returning to that. I'd imagine their set's next year will feature very few songs from anything pre Brother's & with record sales comes pressure to continue to sell. I hope so though. Either way, good record so I'm looking forward to hearing it live.
