Does anyone around here like them or listen to them? My wife and I picked up their latest a few weeks ago. These guys are great. Their videos are fantastic. They seem to put alot into them.
I posted about them ages ago (
http://www.metalreviews.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=3514). Outstanding band, though. I really dig them; though I like the debut better, because it's more experimental and proggy (in an alt-rock way). Regardless, probably the best band featuring a famous Hollywood actor that I've ever heard. This is no Dogstar; Leto and this band are the real deal. I saw them live with Sevendust a few years back, and they kicked ass. Leto's voice is excellent.
Listen to this song:

Their latest is way more straightforward and doesn't separate itself enough from the current crop of emo nerd music. It is, however, still a very good album.
