I'm so glad! Yes, Le Jared has more than his fair share of talent. On the first album (self titled,) he played every instrument except for the drums, and it's brilliant. I swear in his next life he's going to be ugly and stupid. ;)

To your question, both albums are incredible, and kind of a mix of progressive / full-on hard rock. The self titled is a little more hardcore, musically. "A Beautiful Lie" has I guess two songs on it that are pretty mellow and very The Cure influenced. (I skip over both of them because I never liked The Cure, even. Blaspheme!) And one Bjork cover, too.

I mostly love this band because until I heard them, I'd forgotten how good it felt to love hard rock music. also because they are insanely funny
