Remain at your desk, Mr. Savitz.
It's pedestrian, with all the crunch of a roll of soggy toilet paper. Exactly what you'd expect. (I found the tune "Violet Hill" pretty good, however.)

The wife bought it recently, so yes, I have heard it.

Me'h.

Get the new Supergrass instead. In a word, fantastic.
"Rebel In You" is the best tune out of them in years.

There's a couple of live clips of this tune on YouTube.
