    musicOMH got it about right - personally, i like the fact it's twee and trashy, but it's not for everyone. Go see them live instead - they rock!

    Whether you love or hate The Research will depend upon your tolerance for cheap keyboards. [Mar 2006, p.103]

    A nudge in the wrong direction and this would be too saccharine for comfort.

    The happy-go-lucky, Casio-plated sheen surrounding their elegantly crafted pop songs disguises what are, by and large, tales of bitterness, regret and longing for things that are impossibly out of reach.
