"Death from above 1979"...Ok, talk to me about this band.
I saw them on a Conan repeat this morning and I was blown away. I really dug their sound. Since most of the time the bands I like aren't liked around here, I say that as someone who likes Scissor Sisters, that must mean they suck to the rest of you right? 
But seriously, do you guys like them?

I know very little about them, but I did hear one of their songs on Sirius' "Left of Center" station and liked it.
I think Pitchfork may have put their album as one of the top 50 of '04. For what that's worth anyway.
I wouldn't mind checking it out eventually

I bought the album recently because I'm no a loud-music kick (still haven't gotten Rainbow) and I am NOT disappointed. Very cool music, loud without being annoying or sounding like Staind or anything on "Hard Rock Radio" nowadays.

I bought the album about a month ago or so after wanting to pick it up for a while. I'll also be seeing them when they place twice later in the month, but only the later show. Hopefully with Sexy Results.

I've only heard their first single (on the radio many times) but I like it. I'd like to hear more from them.

To those that don't know the somewhat unique, I say "somewhat" because I hear it's been done before, thing about them and their sound is that it's just a drummer and bass player who form the band. That's it.

It's noise/math rock for people who still like melodies.
There's a ton of bands who sound like them in the past 30 years, DFA1979 just happened to come out with a very good album in that genre. Groundbreaking? Nope. Excellent? Yep.
