"Take Me To The Riot" is one of my favorite songs right now. Unfortunately, I listened to clips and none of the others seemed as instant to me. I think with more exposure, the album would grow on me though. I also loved "Your Ex-Lover Is Dead" back in the day (I didn't even realize it was the same band at first )

Yes, this is a great album; I was really late on it, though . " Take To The Riot" is my favourite, it's a fantastic song. Did anyone hear about all the drama with Pitchfork?

Pitchfork gave the album 7.4 out of 10. Although that's a decent score, the review itself was unfavourable about some of the songs and missed some of the meaning behind them. The lead singer of Stars didn't agree with the criticism and posted a mature, well thought out MySpace blog in which he threw the toys out of his metaphorical buggy, cunningly changing the name of the reviewer, Ryan Dombal, to Ryan Numballs etc

LMFAO Well, it's certainly an entertaining read. Also, St. Vincent isn't even that hot.
