Good for awhile
The album is extremely enjoyable for a few weeks, but tends to wear down after you catch on to the gimmicks. Nevertheless, it is certainly worth a few spins, as the songs are extremely catchy.

Breakout of 2009
I am so pleased that the public is finally taking notice of these LA local hippie-sters. I recently saw these guys at Coachella and I will say they are the perfect festival band. BUY THIS ALBUM NOW. You wont be disappointed.
Best album i found this year
This is the happiest, most addictive, fun, sing-along, positive, catchy, interesting etc. etc.....cant say enough about this album. As a debut album, it is stunning. I drove 8 hours to see them live and was not disappointed. GET THIS ALBUM!!!
Polyphonic Spree Redux
The Spree sounded like this and were big for a minute with all the same hype! Now where are they? Alex Ebert should have stayed with Ima Robot. It was more fun.
wow
OK just seen these guys for the first time over the weekend and was blown away.... as he sang and walked through the crowd and blew everyones mind!!!! cant wait to catch another concert of these folks
Something wacky...
about these guys. I love the music but after watching several interviews of them and clips of them playing live, I fully expect to hear soon that they all travelled to Guyana and committed mass suicide drinking Kool-Aid together. There is just something creepy about them and the way they interact.
Just you try ...
... to listen to "Home" without it infecting you with its upbeat loveliness. Go on and try. See? Knew you couldn't.
Awesome!
How did i just hear about this now?! it came our a year ago!? this is some of the best stuff i have heard in a long time, every song is great, it's like a mix of John Lennon/leonard Cohen/meets hippy mexican jam! I dont know how this is not as big as MGMT or Arcade Fire, its just as good or better
Stop trying so hard
"40 Day Dream" sounds like somebody threw into a bag all the "hip" sounds from years ago, including phrases from old songs, and tried to put them into one song. It gives a good quick impression, but more I hear it the more it sounds like a train wreck. And that's the highlight of the album. Somebody is trying too hard to be cool and isn't allowing their inner song to come to the surface (unless their inner song is a mush of old ideas, then they should to be a greeter a Wal-Mart).
charming
I heard them and saw their energetic and charming performance on KCRW. The singers were charming...the rest of the band could use some of that energy. I loved how they sang with meaning... It just makes me feel good about them and then me! :)
