I don't listen to this kind of guitar rock so much these days, but find I have listened to the album quite a bit in recent weeks. To be honest I found the Yeah Yeah Yeahs album a much bigger disappointment - their first bad record IMO.

Quite a few albums out now from 2013 that I like a lot - James Blake, Deerhunter, Vampire Weekend, The National, Boards of Canada, Sally Shapiro. Have just got hold of the latest Kurt Vile, Camera Obscura and Low but not had chance to listen yet.

A weird thing about it on Twitter though, on 11th Feb the lead singer said "Tried releasing a single back in '09. Michael Jackson died. Try announcing a single in 2013. Bloody Pope resigns.", he got a reply on the same day from somebody saying "@MattAbbottSkint I'll have a pound on Maggie Thatcher dying on your album release day ". I think we need to be suspicious about Thatcher's death now!
