Add a tablespoon of cod liver oil and flush down nearest khazi. Twice for good measure.

Oh god for a minute I thought it was Walter Becker.
These guys also should stick to composing.

I don't get these guys; I don't hate 'em, but I just don't understand what inpsires all the adulation.  Misses me entirely.  {#Confused}

That's right, it's got a cool funk groove.

This sucks
I kind of like it and, as I noted previously, I'd rather hear this any time (though not daily) than their insipid Love Dog number!

 Totally with you on that.
I was surprised by how disconcerting their performances were on SNL. I could barely even recognize what songs they were playing, and I usually find them enjoyable (if not particularly stellar) on RP, even with frequent play. Sounded like they were over the place, musically speaking - not cohesive at all.

This album made many many people's Best of 2008 list and it does absolutely nothing for me. Especially the drum production - so thin and flaccid. I don't get it.

Historically almost no musical group is impressive on SNL. I tend to blame the sound stage and equipment, not the band. Even bands I love end up sounding like dog fights heard on a telephone underwater.

To me these guys sound quite similar to an Irish band "The Republic of Loose".
Check them out if you feel so inclined ;-)

Definitely more conventional and accessible, but that is not a bad thing.  The album is outstanding.

Not in the mood today, but this song ain´t that bad. A 5 for now. That other tune that´s been played here on RP is unbearable.

I sincerely hope you're right, because the vocals on this sound way out of tune and the singers sound pissed as farts. Another sub-4 rating from the Nottingham jury, which is getting worried at nearly 10 such tracks on the trot. Either we're in a bad mood, or RP is in one of its dull patches :(
