Ok. These cats are pretty damn awesome. Primary Colors has convinced me...cos holy freaking CRAP that album is good. Yep.

I so wanted to dislike these guys (I don't really know why, hype I suppose), but 'Strange House' is fantastic. Particularly fond of 'Count in Fives' and 'Gloves.'

Given how impressed I was by their debut, I did find the follow-up disappointing on first listen, but it's definitely grown on me over time.

I like your attitude, and agree with it

...to go a little bit further than my previous post, I have now become rather obsessed w/ this band. I listened to the rest of the first album, and it is soo much fun. I've had like, three different songs from it running though my head all day today. I've even gone so far as to make freakin' FANART about these lads--and I've been properly into them less than a week!! I just learned who was who yesterday. *sigh* My point is that this band will creep up on you...I know they did me...and it's rather fun.

I still can't listen to Primary Colours. I've tried like 5 times now. I love Strange House so it's not like I'm not a fan of the Horrors. WHY IS THIS? Did it take a long time from everyone else to appreciate the album? I really really want to but I just get bored when listening to it.

I can't say it took me a long time to get into it. This was one of those albums that upon first listen a nuclear bomb exploded in my head. Actually, my experience is reversed, since Primary Colours was my first listen to one of their albums in full. But in this instance, I like both albums. I personally prefer PC to Strange House, but I think that's because I'm a huge sucker for shoegaze, and it's a very shoegazy album. Strange House is good--it's very fun and very catchy--but I had to really appreciate it after listening to PC.

I really enjoy them. Primary Colours more than Strange House, but yeah, they are great.

You know, my position on the whole *which album is better yo-s* debate may be in flux. 'Cos lately, though I fucking LOOOVE Primary Colours, the tunes I've been wanting to hear have been off Strange House & stuff from 'round that album. Iunno. But what I do know is that you people here have created an ugly, hideous monster...that is only becoming more and more destructive to my psyche.
