I have only heard a couple of the singles, not the whole album... yet. Zookeeper's boy is a hit but I don't like Apocalypso.

Frenger was okay.

It can be gotten (relatively) cheaply at CD-WOW or Bang-CD.

I've been listening to it for sometime now. Haven't really got in to it yet but it's growing on me. It's pretty complex album compared to Frengers so it may take some time for me to get into. Frengers is still better in my lists, well it's one of my favourite records after all.

Too bad you can't get the Triumph For A Man anywhere 'cause there are just 1000 copies of it if I remember right. I've heard some songs from it and I think it would be my favourite from them if they could get it re-relased. There's some problems with the rights or something though, so it probably never gets a new release.

HOLY ***** I love this album to death, got it on repeat for the last week..can't get enough of every single morsel it has to offer, Mew does conjure My Bloody Valentine as well as several others, to me, overall they appear to be a english speaking Sigur Ros...which is beyond excellent, they have lyrics that are fairy tale like, and they are exactly on par...very good musicians...and sculptures of fine musical movements...all beautifully continuously flowing from one song to another...amazing...my favorite album of the year already..damn..phew

I saw these guys last night with Kasabian, great show.

I thought Mew was the best part. Live they reminded me of Catherine Wheel way more than their recorded songs do.

I've just got the CD......The material is great but somehow the recording seems otherwise...
