I'm surprised there isn't a thread about this album already..or else I didn't search right.
Anyways, I've been spinning this album a lot recently.

Their vocalist is like the best thing to come out of Indonesia in the music world, although I don't think he identifies himself with the country anymore. Anyways, <3

I would say RIYL: U2, Bloc Party, The Graduate's guitar delay
EDIT: This would probably their most popular song to-date and a good place to start: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jxKjOOR9sPU
My favorite song is "Fader". "Science of Fear" is pretty good too

Certainly not the best album ever but they definitely benefited from having Jim Abiss produce this record. Solid overall. But then again I'm not thoroughly convinced he couldn't take any band and end up with a great final product.

Ive been meaning to give this a listen.
I always get confused between these and Passion Pit for some reason. I guess their names are kinda similar in a way...

The first time I listened to this, I only really like Fader and Sweet Disposition. Now, I really enjoy the entire album.
It's a really solid album.

Definitely an over generalization guys haha. I do really like the record though. Definitely not the best ever.

Fader is a jam nonetheless.

Amazing album. Just picked it up last week. It's like U2 and Coldplay having an indie sex sesh.

Fader is my favourite. But there is not one song I skip on the album. They put on a wicked live show too

Lucky. I want to see them live. I heard that Mandagi's voice live is pretty much exactly like in the studio. Agree?

This is available on Amazon MP3 for $2.99. The Diet Coke commercial during the Oscars played "Sweet Disposition" and made me think this album AND Myspace had the $2.99 link on their main page. I think it was fate telling me to finally purchase it.

The whole middle of the CD is absolutely fantastic, between Sweet Disposition and Fader.

Does anybody know where I could get The Temper Trap 2 iTunes bonus tracks.
"Little Boy" and "Hearts"
I've been looking everywhere I can think of and I just can't seem to run across it. Thanks.

I have to be at Warped early on Sunday, and since public transportation doesn't go out that early, I'm up in Portland for Saturday as well, and I saw The Temper Trap was playing nearby, so I got on the guestlist.
What should I expect?
