Hey, hey, don't get me wrong buddy. =/
I'm not trying to diss your taste. It just didn't click with me as it did with you.

They're great song writers but I hope that they make more material like 'World News'

Well yeah, not everyone can agree on music. =)
All a part of music discussion though; learning from each other.

I just love the simplicity in the story of 'World News'. That last verse hits hard.

cards and quarters is a 'sleeper' fav of mine. but wide eyes and sun hands to me define the album

'sun hands' was my favorite for a while and i think it is the most unique on the album, but for me 'wide eyes' takes the cake

I saw them at Reading...they were pretty good but Los Campesinos! and Wild Beasts blew them out of the water.

These guys are like mockingbirds. Taking a sound from another source and making it their own.

way better than the new fleet foxes, to give a dumb comparison

I don't think so. =/

Considering a lot of Local Natives' base sound came from Fleet Foxes; I constantly draw comparisons
but end up preferring Fleet Foxes' vocals and layers.

And for me; the album had too many stand outs and too many skip-able songs that made the stand outs
the only tracks worth listening to. =/

I actually found it rather inspiring at times tombits. Read the lyrics to 'World News'. They're rather wonderful. Maybe not well worded but still a good tale.

Their blogotheque performance of 'Who Knows, Who Cares' is possibly the best/most enjoyable performance I may have ever watched. Very impressive band.
