Advantages: The music is full of energy and life, the tracks are catchy and fun.

Disadvantages: The album is only 37 minutes long.

There was a lot of hype about this New York based trio before the release of the 'With Love and Squalor' album as it was expected to be something really quite special. Usually I would say never believe the hype, but with We Are Scientists things were always a little bit different. I say this because the band had already provided an impressive Lamacq live session, and one of the bands songs had already been chosen to be Zane Lowe's record of the week before the album was even released. The early signs were strong and 'With Love and Squalor' was therefore gearing up to be an excellent album release. Right from the very first moment I heard this album I was mightily impressed, the music truly is brilliant and this album has been exceptionally well put together by the great indie band that it We Are Scientists.

I can definitely say that this is one of the best albums that I have heard in a long time. The band sure knows how to write great music and as a result We Are Scientists here came out with a 12 track album where any of the tracks from it could easily have been released as singles. The album is magnificent from start to finish and never is there a dull moment here. The music is absolutely sensational and with this album all three members of We Are Scientists really prove themselves to be exceptionally talented musicians.

This album actually kicks off with lead single 'Nobody Move, Nobody Get Hurt', opening the album in style and leaving you wondering how the rest of the album could possibly compare. Somehow the band managed to do it though and wrote an entire album of elegant indie rock masterpieces. There are so many stand out tracks on this album; 'Cash Cow' and 'The Great Escape' however are two tracks that will never get old no matter how many times I play them. The music is full of such energy and excitement, never does the music of We Are Scientists leave me in the slightest bit disappointed and always in fact the sound that We Are Scientists here produce is entirely enthralling. The music is extremely lively and always the bands music is full of fiery passion.

This band writes catchy music and 'With Love and Squalor' is an absolutely sensational album from We Are Scientists. Never does the music on display on this album ever fail to impress in the slightest. Always the band here sound sensational and at all points of this album the music has my full undivided attention. There are few bands that I appreciate the music of as much as We Are Scientists, this band really is excellent and with this album a great deal of talent is shown to be on display. 'With love and Squalor' is without doubt one of my favourite album releases from recent years, an album that I have played many times and always enjoy listening to greatly.
