Saw these guys doing Ambling Alp on one of the late nights and came away thinking, not bad, except for that interlude part. Not great, but not bad. Heard the album and came away thinking, pretty bad. Nothing else near as good. Ok, maybe Madder Red. New York bands second album. Opened for MGMT in 2008. Album inspired by an LSD trip. Try another drug. That didn't work. Ambling Alp was the first single, with a follow up of O.N.E.

I DO NOT LIKE THIS ALBUM

Worst Track - The Children

Best Track - Ambling Alp

Now kid, I know I haven't been a perfect man
And I've avoided doing things I know I can
But if I learned one thing, the tattoo on my arm will burn into my thumb
It would be that

You must stick up for yourself, son
Never mind what anybody else done
Stick up for yourself, son
Never mind what anybody else done
Stick up for yourself, son
Never mind what anybody else done

Oh, Max Schmeling was a formidable foe
The Ambling Alp was too, at least that’s what I’m told
But if you learn one thing, you’ve learned it well
It’s true, you must give fascists hell.
They'll run, but they cannot hide

You must stick up for yourself, son
Never mind what anybody else done
Stick up for yourself, son
Never mind what anybody else done
Stick up for yourself, son
Never mind what anybody else done

And when those thunder clouds are crying in the skies, in the skies
And when those fireflies keep shining in your eyes, in your eyes
Keep your mind for the time, with your ass on the line
Keep your fleet feet sliding to the side, to the side

Now, the world can be an unfair place at times
But your lows will have their complement of highs
And if anyone should cheat you, take advantage of, or beat you
Raise your head and wear your wounds with pride

You must stick up for yourself, son
Never mind what anybody else done
Stick up for yourself, son
Never mind what anybody else done
Stick up for yourself, son
Never mind what anybody else done
