After months of thinking it was merely good, I've just listened back to this album (reminded about it by DiS albums of the year list) and now something has changed to make me like it an awful lot more.

Its fantastic- they balance noise and pop in such a new and subtle way, so different from how, say, JAMC or My Bloody Valentine played that particular balancing act.

My own personal end-of-year list may have to be re-written yet again.
