Maximo Park...

Ack! Wretched stuff! Did these guys take the most frenetic and annoying piece of a Franz Ferdinand song and make EVERY song sound exactly like that? Too many notes! No space or tempo whatsoever. It's like the epitome of the worst of Next Wave.

Am I missing something here? Are there any fans of this band? Why? Seriously. I'm trying to allow that it's just not striking my mood at this moment and that there may be redeeming qualities I'm just missing.

There is really something annoying about the way the singer sings. I've been listening to the album a few times. "Apply Some Pressure" was really one of the best songs from the previous year,for me, but the album was something you could really forget about, after you heard it once or twice.
