I like them; they seem refreshingly intelligent and self-conscious for a blatantly sold-out pop band, and they aren't trying to act like a subculture. There are a few songs I don't like ("Metanoia" was about 11 minutes too long), but for the most part I like them. Also, I fucking love their music videos. I've been feeling there's not enough retro-shroom aesthetic lately.
"The Youth" is my favorite song, for some reason.
