"i saw aih open for cyhsy last year in san francisco. at first, i thought they were a horrible flashback to the 80's with random outfits. but soon after, i found them to be upbeat and fun. they had such energy on stage as they do in this album. i can listen to the songs over and over. my favorites are nevereverdid, it's 5!, maybe you can owe me, do the whirlwind, in case we die, and the cemetary (which is really cute). their show was quite entertaining. after every other song, the band members switched over positions onstage along with corresponding instruments. it was friday the 13th, so they played off on it by opening up a black umbrella, breaking a mirror (i can't remember what else), all whilst reading a scary tale and playing some spooky background music. plus, you can't help but dance along with them while they are playing.



i got both this cd and their previous one, this one is much better. and actually, they were TONS better live than cyhcy.

"I was super psyched to get this album, because I heard some great comparisons to Fiery Furnaces mixed with Polyphonic Spree. And, yeah, I could see it. But my first listen wasn't anything to brag about. I actually thought it was more reminiscent of Tilly and The Wall - not sure why. I guess it's just the way in which they sing. But, once you listen to the CD a few times, it will get you pumped and some of the words are great silly fun. Nothing wrong with that. I definitely sing along now, especially to the opening words of It'5: "Stranger Danger, Danger stranger, when you gonna follow through?" And I really enjoy the 3rd song, entitled "Tiny Paintings" and number 8 - "the cemetery". You really can listen to this whole CD without skipping - I actually listen to it when I'm mowing the lawn to get my mind off how mundane grass can be - it gives me a reason to be happy and bouncy as I slave out under the sun. In conclusion - I'd get this if I were you. Just, give it a REAL shot and a good listen through. Kay?"
