Ratatat's Debut Album

I've read good reviews - Amazon
Pitchfork
Designer Punk

I've got two MP3s -
+ Seventeen Years
+ Everest

Now I want to know if i should buy it... i think i will, judging by the mp3s, they seem like a real rocking electro-punk group... just what I need!

Any of you guys heard/have opinions on them?

could you be a little less vague?
And maybe a little less coveting?

and maybe you could try taking it a bit less personally. it's not like i've insulted yr mother or anything. it's the ALBUM i hate.

from what i've heard, they try to make some decent melodies. too bad they're not only un-decent, but they're not even melodies at all. just some utterly hookles guitar licks and phrases played over glitchy hippy-hoppysh beats. the songs just go nowhere. i mean, they don't even know how to finish a track with style. it's all fadein/fadeout routine. boooooooring.

as for the rockiness. well. Múm are Napalm Death, compared to this.

yeah. i take perverse pleasure in doing that. now if you'll excuse me, i'll go and touch my self for a while.

They aren't any fun to watch live. I saw them with the Killers, and they were boring.
