While Times New Viking is decent, The Pains Of Being Pure At Heart fuses noise-pop with other genres and reinvents it. I second comment #7.

Times New Viking is great, but the noise:pop ratio of their music is too overwhelmingly noise. Live, I've noticed, it's a different story for them, but as far as out and out songcraft, I come down more on the side of Pains. There were bands doing this stuff before either of them - I don't think there's really a credibility question here. It's all just good stuff. I, personally, prefer this band.

Scored an 8.4 out of ten. I believe it should have garnered a 9, but I will not complain, as it made the list of Best New Music. In addition, Pitchfork abhorred Robert Pollard's new album - scored a mere 2.4/10, worst in a Pollard history dominated by 5s and 6s (out of 10).

I obtained a decent proportion of the tracks months before release, and they are phenomenal. The fusion of indie rock and late 80s shoegaze music is ethereal. Will definitely be on my year end top 25. I have to get the whole album today. I obtained a decent proportion of the tracks months before release, and they are phenomenal.

Been hearing the song 'Young Adult Friction' on SiriXM U and was liking what I heard. Now will be anticipating hearing the whole album...may just get it today!
