Yep, one band that splits people like no other, either love them or despise them. Well, I am in the camp that loves them, yet I was wondering with the release of their new album "Pretty. Odd" next Tuesday (Monday for us in the UK), what people's thoughts of them are.
I can see where people were coming from with criticism of their first album, yes they could be seen as a knock-off Fall Out Boy with more synth however from the previews I've heard of the second album, it sounds so much more different, definately influenced by the 60's/70's, especially The Beatles and I think it works for them, they're moving away from the emo tag that was given to them.
I myself can't wait for the album to be leaked tomorrow on MTV and for people in the UK, onto YouTube/Limewire etc. heh. And for those that haven't heard the album previews or would like to, here's a video with 30 seconds of each track and a listing

Not true. I'm in the middle. I don't HATE them like most people, I actually like a few songs. But I could take them or leave them.

I plan on picking up the album next week, but I'm nowhere near as into them as I used to be.
I think I overplayed "A Fever You Can't Sweat Out", even more than the radio did. I got sick of the style after a while.
I still enjoy that album on occasion, though, and I will be seeing them in May because I've heard they put on a really good theatrical show.
Maybe I just grew out of that style overall to a certain extent.

I just listened to those 30 second track clips, the whole album sounds absolutely horrible. I don't think I'll be buying it at all, and I may not even go to the show now.
I'll judge for sure when I hear the whole thing, though.

I love them. It's probably because I don't listen to the radio and don't rediculously overplay their songs. I love their sound and can't stop listening to "Nine in the Afternoon".
