Worth Your Valuable Time
Not to harp on the subject or anything, but if you're wondering what the Best Album of 2007 is, look no further. I just bought it and I've already listened to it 3,823 times and used it as the basis for several new dance steps that will be sweeping the nation any day now (be on the look out for those).
Seriously, why aren't more albums just... crazy concept... FUN? There's so much art-noodling and pretention out there these days, listening to music has turned into a long slog through a Soho art gallery, but with shitty lyrics and no base line. It's like somewhere along the way, people forgot how to whoop it up, how to tear it down, how to let it all hang out. Not The Fratellis, though; these guys stomp and shake and jangle and just flat-out ROCK faster, harder and better than any ten bands you could name.
I beseech you to buy this album; I implore you, even. Do yourself a favor. Support fun music today!!!

I normally can't stop those damn silhouette iPod commercials.
However, the one with the Fratellis song is so damned filled with fun fun fun music. Not to mention the art style which looks like a whole bunch of preschool kids ate five bags of Skittles, three jugs of Hawaiian punch, and the entire Crayola factory only to vomit up the syrupy concoction onto my High Definition (well not mine, my roommates) television. In HD, that damned commercial is crystal clear and freaking hypnotic.
ok, i a dropping my hard earned money on this, I hope your right......
It's good stuff; If you're a fan of ridiculously catchy music sung by British men, you could certainly do a whole lot worse than The Fratellis.
i love this cd! i'm addicted! you've got me beat as far as number of times played, but this is definitely in my top 5 rotation right now.
excellent choice! :)
Thanks! Glad I'm not the only one; I mentioned to a few of my friends that I'd bought this album and I got nothing back but blank stares and indifference. Because all my friends are bastards.
You had me at saucy pin-up girls.
I need some weekend tunes. I may just run out and pick this baby up.
I really hope everyone enjoys this as much as I have. Because I'm going to look like an ASS if not.
Hmm, it keeps coming up on my Launchcast station and I've been skipping past it. But if you recommend it, I'll listen next time. :)
They're playing the Merc tonight. It's sold out, though. Also who wants to go out when it's raining.
I know, I saw that the other day and I actually tried to get tickets... to no avail, of course. Guess I'll catch them the next time around.
And, word, if it's still raining when I get off work, I'm heading straight for my couch.
The Fratellis are pretty rad. Speaking of "fun music", I have to give a shout out (and recommendation) to a group from my hometown. Check out "The Nice Boys"--totally catchy and fun (and available on iTunes!)
Thanks for the tip, yo! Always on the lookout for good music, what with the sitting at a desk for 8 hours and all.
Bought it and enjoyed it.
This pleases me.
Ok..it really scares me that everytime I hear the song "Flathead" it makes me think of you, and I don't even know you.
Ha!
Excellent! My plan to be the first thing on everyone's mind when they think of popular music is advancing nicely.
