So, I Picked Up The New Belle And Sebastian

I got this album a few weeks ago.  I'm really trying to like it, I am, but so far I've failed pretty miserably.  Perhaps one of you can tell me what there is to like about it.  Especially Gryff, since I'm pretty sure that "White Collar Boy" is the douchiest song I've ever heard (and I have listened to "Sister Christian" by Night Ranger).

Maybe it shows off their musicianship more than their older albums, but I don't think there's any beauty in it.

Maybe I'm just simple but "White Collar Boy" has both a catchy bass line and fun lyrics. That's all I need out of a good dance capable song. I'm not quite sure what the scientific quantifier for douchieness is, but I don't hear any of it on Life Pursuit. I think you may be thinking "My Humps."

Gryff:
Douchiest?

… What?

nickyandthefuture:
That song, in a misguided attempt at introducing freshness, greatly increases your chances of an unpleasant infection.

I guess out of all of the records that have been released recently, it's still better than most, but they're capable of much better.  If Steely Dan made it, I would be impressed.

Gryff:
Well, I think it's a great pop record.
