Stream Black Kids' Partie Traumatic Can Black Kids write another song as catchy as "I'm Not Gonna Teach Your Boyfriend How To Dance With You"? Was Bernard Butler able to bring a metronome and/or use beat detective in the studio? Do you even care? Find out the answers to all this and more at MySpace.

I found that the songs off the EP weren't quite as good on the album, but some of the new songs are pretty great. (Still, nothing spectacular).

BIG letdown. Not a big fan, not a fan at all!

Nice indie backlash about this band. Yeesh.

The EP tracks sound a bit over-produced now, but the new songs are nice.
Loving that last track.

is it technically a backlash if it just plain sucks?

This is one of the funniest one-liners I've ever read. I'm going to "borrow" it from you, if you don't mind.

i try to find something wrong with this album, but i keep listening to it over and over again, and enjoying it it's just pure poppy goodness.
