buying...?

That's my preference too. I bought a bunch of individual tracks off iTunes for a recent wedding, as I didn't want to lay out hundreds of dollars for music when I only needed about 25 songs. But usually I buy albums.

I disagree.  Sometimes I'll like a track so much I'll wonder if I should buy the album.  And yes—this might date me, but I like to buy whole albums, not simply download single tracks.

Firstly, repetition does not necessarily equate to an artistic lack of talent, please see Philip Glass' compositions if you require examples of this concept.  Secondly, the imagery in this song is not juvenile.  Its about children, not for children, so all you critics here who claim this sounds like a kindergarden song need to examine the lyrics and recognize that the harmony and repetition contribute to the texture of the piece and act as a counter-point to the rather sinister message contained within.  

Last thing...comments should be about the track, not the album; or am I just being too picky?  I dunno, who cares how great of an album it is when one is listening to a station that plays individual songs.

Yes, it's a strong album.

Shoulda been entitled, "Blight Splinter Urinal."

What is this song about?

Ah, these guys just make me smile.
 

Nice eclectic song and album.

sorry - incorrect.

This band has to be the biggest disappointment of 2008.

I don't get it.

reminded me of an everly brothers thing

Got to drive home in the snow, a rare occurrence where I live, and since this was the CD in the car stereo anyway, I went to this track.  And then I videoed a bit of my drive home.

I know that "art is not about liking" and all that, but I can´t get into this hymnal vibe...perhaps the only way this may work for me, irrespective of the lyrics, would be as the soundtrack for a remake of The Graduate, specifically "the running to the church scene" in which Hoffman´s part would be played by Ben Stiller ...

Nice call!  "Skindiving" would be a tasty follow-up.

I am yearning for some James!

Well, either I've developed an immunity to it or this song is actually better than a lot of the crap coming out these days, which has elevated it's status by default.  Either way I'm kicking it up a notch.
