"The title is a misnomer – deep down they’re dour, despondent and irretrievably lost."

“And we’re very lucky! We’ve had a long career, we’ve made records, we have great fans, we can afford to take off, concentrate on the new record and only that record, and then come back and present the material.”

The highlights of this record clearly showcase why Stars are such a great band, and it is mint to see that they have worked on the problems from their past album to create something far stronger and more enjoyable.
