While everybody else is bumming the Arctic (fucking) Monkeys, the smart kids are buying this little gem and dancing around their bedrooms to angular guitar sounds and sweeeet harmonies.

It's kinda difficult to compare We Are Scientists to anybody else. All the obvious comparisons have already been thrown out there...Franz, Bloc Party...somebody even mentioned Hot Hot Heat! (WTF?) Truth is.....they don't sound like anybody else and I think thats why I feel so drawn to them plus I'm a sucker for spikey guitars so I was instantly hooked within 20 seconds of pressing 'PLAY' on this cd. 'Nobody Move, Nobody Gets Hurt' has spikey-ness and singalongs. Do you really need anything else?? Maybe you do?.....carry on listening then! 'The Scene Is Dead', with drums that pound and lots of squelch. 'Can't Lose' has sloppy reggae beats and makes you nod your head subconciously. 'Textbook' is the boy version of 'Maps' but the stand-out song by a mile has to be 'The Great Escape'. I've played this song at least four or five times a day since I first got this cd and i'm not even slightly tired of hearing it because it makes me happy! It makes me jump about and sing and dance like nobody is watching me. It is perfect indie-pop-punk- rock-whatever! You could do worse things than purchasing this album but you probably couldn't do a better thing.
