With Love and Squalor certainly won't change pop music as we know it, but it packs surprisingly huge melodies and shamelessly danceable beats.

We Are Scientists might not quite match the creativity of their genre's trailblazers, but they still have a spark that hasn't been snuffed in the pursuit of filthy lucre.

Much of With Love and Squalor is like your old coat rack: You know where the hooks are going to be even in your sleep.
