I can't decide, so I leave it in your hands.

So I was about to think it was some gay J-rock band, but then I stumbled across this fun song.

Incredibly overrated and overplayed on the radio. I wouldn't mind if they were just overplayed on the radio, but I constantly have to listen to people tell me about how great they are.

Great band? More of an opinion question. Greatest band ever? Not even close.

Indeed. I discovered them by myself. Never heard them on the radio before either. I thought they were more on the "down-low" in a sense.

I heard their song "kids" on the radio, then I heard it again the following day. I downloaded it, it's a great song, but the only one of theirs I've heard/cared to listen to, so not much to base a whole oppinion of the band off of.

electric feel is a godly song. music video is awesome too.
their other stuff is okay, not as good as electric feel though.

Electric Feel and Time to Pretend are really the only songs I listen to by them. I watched a video where they covered Teenage Lust by the Jesus and Mary Chain at a show. It wasn't too bad.

They were too successful with their first album, they'll disappoint.

Solid couple-o-hit wonders imo.

I;ve heard one song by them, Time to Pretend, and it's a good song.. I just hate it because the radio plays it WAY too often.
