    I'm no snob (music snobbery is a waste of time) - but this is power pop that jams nicely but lacks much melody. I also hear Strokes influence, which doesn't fit them.

    Faux "indie" garbage. If you think The Strokes and The Killers are "indie", this band will be right up your alley...but if you have any taste you will continue to buy from bands on labels like Merge, French Kiss, and Dischord. Ian MacKaye could kick this entire band's asses single handedly.What a waste of studio time.

    Fresh slices of power-chord sunshine. [2 Sep 2005, p.79]
  2. Songs like "Invincible" and "Do What You Want" don't disappoint and should be on the playlist for any retro dance party.

    Their songs are categorically contagious and surprisingly smart. [Sep 2005, p.164]
