Can't say I'm disappointed with Swoon. The first track is pretty sketchy lyrically, but after that, they settle into their all-around SSPU awesomeness.

I love the band/album, but I really don't see Swoon putting them into elite indie status. P4K will see to that. :(

Thanks for posting this...this sounds like a great album for warm weather fun, travelling, ... etc.

I not sure if that's intentional (probably just my own observation), but it seems like a well timed release.

Fun sound ... still sounds urgent...cool follow up. Strings!!! whoa .... stand back ;-)

I agree with the above comment about the opening track being iffy, but the rest of the album shining. This is what a follow-up to one of the best albums of the 00's should be. It may not be groundbreaking, but it does the job of entertaining quite well.
