January 13, 201016 yr These are quite good listens, too! they are :nice: I'm enjoying this album very much, i'm not exactly one to go into deep insight on how it's progressed or not. It's not as amazing and mind blowing as their debut but pretty great so far. Cousins has the potential to be 2010's A-Punk and the rest of the songs are quite solid. The strong fun danceable beats are still there but as you guys have pointed out, it’s more mature and sophisticated. From the moment I pre ordered to yesterday when I first heard the album as whole, fresh and new… it was definitely worth the wait :sweatdrop: And I’m not gonna do a track by track review b/c I suck :cool4:
January 13, 201016 yr I just bought it before class today. I'll let you folks know what I think of it. I'm not that familiar with them, bought it because i had gift cards and wanted to try something new.

January 13, 201016 yr I just got their first album in the mail today, and I'm listening to it for the first time now. I think it'll have to grow on me.
January 13, 201016 yr the album's growing on me It is a grower! I am so in love with it. I can't understand all the cousins love though, that's my least favourite on the whole album! There's something really bland about it compared to the rest of the album. It's not as rich sounding. Prepares for flaming.
January 14, 201016 yr Its growing on me. I reeeeeally like Giving Up The Gun and I Think UR A Contra, but I cannot stand Diplomat's Son. California English and Cousins are getting better each time I listen to them, but originally I couldn't stand them either.
January 14, 201016 yr I love I Think UR a Contra and White Sky, along with Giving up the Gun. The only one i can't get into is cousins!
January 14, 201016 yr I dunno, after a few listens, I think I liked the first album better. Not that Contra is bad, but I feel only a few key tracks (Horchata, White Sky, Holiday, and maybe one more) stand out. "Cousins" is pretty average for a single, especially compared to "A-Punk". (I think White Sky was the mystery "preview" track I didn't recognize when I saw them a month ago)
January 14, 201016 yr I don't like "Taxi Cab" much right now! :shrug: I love "Run"!!! :D:D:D:awesome:
January 14, 201016 yr Are you insane? If you actually understood that song, you would be impressed. It's probably the LP's best.

January 14, 201016 yr Cousins is amazing. It's a story about having your cousins at parties and them being the only ones you have to talk to, that you have assured conversations... It's short and sweet, real rough ska that the band hasn't done before
January 14, 201016 yr I still haven't checked Contra.... Gotta give it a listen to their new album! :awesome:

January 15, 201016 yr I STILL don't like "Taxi Cab"! :shrug: I like the words, but the music is lacking. :confused:
