I didn't like the new album on first listen, but now I'm getting into it. There's some good grooves on there.

Love them, the more I listen to their albums the more I like them.

Saw them at Coachella this year. They were awesome, made my weekend.

I like most of the Carnavas album but don't care so much for their prior album/EP (Pikul).

I haven't heard their new album yet though (is it even out?)

But I have to be in the mood for them...

I am listening to them right now and I like the fuzziness that Platypus was referring to.

Thought 1st hit was okay, but I really like Panic Switch.

Music reminds me of Smashing Pumpkins because of the nasally voice (luckily it's better than Corgan) and fuzzy guitars.

I listened to one of their songs on YouTube last night, going to have to check out more.

They've definitely come a long way, I'm glad they're getting mainstream exposure. When I first saw them several years ago, they were really bad, but everytime I saw them since then, they got better and better.

For anyone who is into the fuzzy guitars/androgynous vocals, you should check out My Bloody Valentine, especially their Loveless album. A lot of Smashing Pumpkins sound is influenced by MBV.
