Opinions?

Here are some samples you might recognize:

Love 'em. They have a great album and I'm excited for a new one.

They sound sorta like a large Flaming Lips choir. Great music and its nice to see their work in those VW commercials...

I've only heard the songs on their site

I like them

They're great, and they're even better live. They play here in Dallas all the time, whenever they're not touring. It's funny, if you're involved with the arts or music in this city, you either know or know someone who knows a member (or former member) of the group. They just keep getting bigger.

I think Tim's voice is a little annoying sometimes...like a more nasal Flaming Lips sound...which is why I wasn't a big fan of his old band. But it works perfectly with the huge enemble, and the music is just so damn joyful and fun.

Ghostboy · December 09, 2003, 01:28:23 AM

they only show it in the wee hours. Because MTV2 is quickly becoming what mtv is.

my best friend and roommate saw them perform at Bonnaroo last year... he said they were absolutely incredible....

Pedro · March 21, 2004, 07:46:08 PM

saw them 2 nights ago at south by southwest and it was a near religious experience. fucking amazing, and one of the greatest live acts ive ever seen...they're hard to beat.
