Fans who preordered this were allowed early access to the mp3 files, so the most faithful have been sounding off on this record for some time already. As was expected, given the crushing weight of the hype surrounding Brooklyn's
Clap Your Hands Say Yeah (even the
WSJ is onto these guys), some people love it and some don't. Don't expect anyone calling this the #1 record of 2007 in December, but don't hold it against them.
Honestly, with all the
blahblahblogging that's been going on about Ms. Allen for months, I really thought this record was already out. She's already been playing shows in the US and stuff. But apparently the record only came out here today. Listening to
Lily Allen makes me want to lift my knees higher and move my arms more when I walk.
Last year was a fruitful one for
Youth Group. They had a tour with Death Cab and songs on
The OC (including a sweet "Forever Young" cover, which you can hear
here and buy
here). Neither of which hurt sales of
Skeleton Jar. Some people think Youth Group is emo, but some people think everything is emo.
