Well it would be hard to top We're not happy til your not happy. the fire and drinkin' alone make it an awesome album, and with other songs like A-W-E-S-O-M-E and Don't start a band as the average tracks on the album, it's amazing. I haven't bought the new album yet, but from the pre-releases I've heard it's pretty damn good, about on line with what you said I guess.

Yeah, Matt Wong wasn't with them when I saw them here in England at the end of May, because his wife was having a baby. According to a RBF myspace bulletin, he's left the band for good now because he doesn't want to be forever touring away from home. He's been replaced by the guy that played bass for the Forces of Evil.

Savage, I wouldn't say WNHTYNH is their BEST album. I think Turn the Radio Off is my favourite so far. From one I've heard of this new one, I have high expectations. I've had it on order for a few weeks now... the odds of me actually finding it in a shop around here anytime soon are VERY thin. Can't wait until it comes.

I didn't like their latest album. There were a few good songs, but I feel that their older style was so much better...

Just finished my first listen through the album. Overall - great. I really, really enjoyed it. I'm not sure if I'll be able to call this my favourite, but I'm certainly not disappointed - which, honestly, is quite a relief!

I was a little disappointed with it to be honest. I love the Phil Collins cover and "Everybodys Drunk" is really funny. Too many weaker than usual tracks though IMO.

My personal favourite album is probably Favourite Noise. Its got Beer, Take on Me, Set Up, She has a Girlfriend and loads of other top tunes. All round , their best work I think.

I like Favourite Noise too, but you do know that that wasn't actually their "work" don't you? It was just a 'best of' album.
