I bought this cd when it was released here in the US (mid-march), but they're probably old news for you Brits. I've been listening to it about 2-3 times a week, and every time i hear it, it gets better. They have a somewhat familiar sound, kind of pixies-ish in certain songs, and sort of police-ish in other songs, but they totally have their own sound.
The beats they use in some of their stuff is just awesome, like Positive Tension, for example. Just unusual, and kind of off-balanced, but still totally cohesive when the layers of sound kick in. Everytime I hear the album from back to front I pick up on some new thing I get intrigued by.
Totally recommend this album if you like alt-rock. So far, it's my fave album of '05.
