Am I the only one who still likes Mass Romantic the best of all the albums? Whatever, good review Meb. Looking forward to the new album.

You might be the only one. I think they've gotten better with each album. Their songwriting peak to this point is "The Bleeding Heart Show," but I'm hoping there's something even better on Challenger. We'll see, I guess...
In the meantime, not to hijack the thread or anything but I wanted to share, if I haven't already, this awesome short film set to the track. It starts off just regular cute/obvious emo/twee whatever -- but then when the last movement of the song kicks in, the editing totally shifts and the structure of the movie sort of disintegrates into something resembling the end of Kiarostami's TASTE OF CHERRY. I found that part remarkably touching, and have sinced watched the film over 5 times.
So, for all New Pornos fans:
