Full LP is now streaming on a couple of music websites, including Rolling Stone and fasterlouder.com.au. I've listened to the first couple of tracks and so far, it hasn't disappointed one bit. Love love LOVE DNA!

Just took a listen and I love it. They really stepped it up. The stand outs for me are I'll Be Around, DNA, Disarm, Celebrate and Awakening. Really good stuff. Give it a listen.

I downloaded it this morning and have had a few listens. It is indeed very good, much more consistent then their first album. I agree territorygal, DNA is wonderful. Celebrate has shades of the new Daft Punk. There doesn't seem to be a dud track on the whole album.

Whoa!! Just sitting here listening to the track-by-track commentary on Spotify, and Luke mentions that the chorus for I'll Be Around was originally "trying to be, a bit kind of like a Pet Shop Boys song..."

I have listened to the album a few times now. It's a lot better than the first one. Definitely much more consistent and really really catchy. Great album to listen to this summer.

How bad they're back! One of the most terrible new bands in general categories. Tacky and largel than life. Bands like tthis stereotype gay music.

They're not gay or at least one of them most definitely isn't. Categorizing dance music as gay is a stereotype though.
It's a great album, love all of it. Very very impressed
