Their first album is better, but this is still good.

That is what I thought when I heard them. I thought they sound like Man Man trying to be a rock band. Its weird. I'm not sure about it either.

Good fucking call! I love IBBL, and this one is intense. My favorites so far

Paint it Black - New Lexicon

Murder by Death - Red Claw

This is equally as good as their EP in my opinion. Though it's alot calmer and produced sounding. I feel so odd listening to it and most of my friends think it's horrible but the songs have been getting stuck in my head so easily i don't care.
