Pros and cons of the ‘new’ Alphabeat album

Pros:
– It is amazing to finally have the super-brilliant new songs to listen to when I like.
– The sleeve is without doubt the best sleeve I’ve ever seen.
– TOUCH ME TOUCHING YOU! TOUCH ME TOUCHING YOU! TOUCH ME TOUCHING YOU! etc.
– It’s got Anders B on it.

Cons:
– The new versions of old songs sound wrong – is it cos I’m not used to them, or are they actually not as good? Will I ever know?
– Touch Me Touching You is still the best thing of the year so far, but not quite as amazing as live and therefore will probably not be a single and therefore can’t be my single of the year!
– There are not enough pictures of Anders B. I’m going to start an Anders B photo collection on my hard drive to console myself.

I have just decided, and I should have known it months ago in fact: Alphabeat are the best band in the world right now. I’m sorry BWO, you are still fantabulous, but you have been superceded. Hopefully they’ll see this and make their next album incredible.
