Yeah, it totally staggers me that such an average band have been lauded to the extent that they have. It seems to be on the basis of one song, with its 'quirky' video all photoshopped up to look like they're performing on The Tube circa 1983. They seem to suffer from the same affliction that most of these 'NME bands' suffer, which is mistaking aping innovative bands from the past for being innovative themselves.
