    there are a few really catchy songs here, but they sometimes come across as saccharine and are rarely more than vaguely memorable.

  1. The sort of euphoric, sweetly intentioned indie pop that, despite occasionally making Belle & Sebastian sound like Da Lench Mob, nevertheless manages to stay the right side of cloying.
  2. They are a handful of shit, of wan, barely extant songs and feeble musings, of worn gimmickry and careful over-production, aping Sufjan and a dozen others, flung against a cultural brick wall.
  3. Depending on your temperament, this translates to either the Feelgood Band Of 2006 or a horrific saccharine overdose.
