Most bands, you can hear some sort of progression as they age. They sound tighter, slight song writing changes, etc etc.

Used to like them, got really bored, really, really quick.

Me too. Still love the second and third albums, still vote NC.

Fixed.

Not crap! WF: low

Some very nice musical moments. The guitar lines for "The Only Moment We're Alone" and "Your Hand in Mind" are in my opinion, some of the most beautiful of any instrumental Slint-esque type band. They also seem to believe in what they are doing and to be genuine people.

I really enjoyed the "Friday Night Lights" soundtrack, but the newest album seems to show little growth in any positive direction and showcases many of the limitations of their sound.

Saw them for the first time last night. I went there with little expectation since the last album sucked so bad. But hell, they were good, and loud.

Awesome live. Not crap.

I can go either way. (insert joke)
Saw them last weekend, cold, with little to no knowledge of their work.
Seems like the merit in the music is the crescendo.
If the songs didn't build in energy there'd be no point.
Which makes half the song a little bit boring.
Preemptory non crap till I hear more of them.
