We Are Scientists: "Brain Thrust Mastery"

[TotallyEnormousExtinctDinosaur]

This is on a major label but since they're not really mainstream yet, unfortunately, I'll start this topic here so they don't get buried.

Brain Thrust Mastery is the second major label album by We Are Scientists, due to be released in the UK on March 17, 2008.

The first single from the album is "After Hours" which is currently on UK radio and the band's MySpace.

I'm not sure how I feel about this album. It's okay I guess. I miss their catchy singles from the first album.

"Altered Beast" is probably my favorite. It reminds me of Weezer.

"Let's See It" is really catchy. It doesn't stand out like "It's A Hit" or "Nobody Move..." though.

"Altered Beasts" is okay.

Is this even going to get a US release?

[AFRO SAMURAI]

I haven't seen any published US release dates.
It's laughable to me that all these American Indie bands have to break in Europe because US radio is so inhospitable.

I really like this album now, but it still doesn't touch their last one.
