I must agree with you on the album though despite liking different tracks. It's a very weak effort which why I bashed Couples myself.

The first album, however, lost much of the scappy energy of the earlier recordings. At the time, I chalked it up to the celebrity producer they brought in (the bassist from Pulp). But this latest record is a total buzzkill. Terrible. Terrible. Terrible. What were they thinking? This is so bad it's actually making me reconsider their older stuff.

I'm leaving this up because you are trying to publicise a decent-looking musical enterprise of your own, but at least take a moment to <i>read</i> the post before leaving a spam comment.
