The drumline?? If you like a constant 4/4 beat at the same tempo for a full album, then yes, the drumline is excellent. I cant listen to Elephant without getting a headache, I cant deal with her drumming. My favourite album of theirs is "De Stijl", it shows alot more variety than the 2 latest ones(I dont have their debut) and I think the songwriting is better. I like some of Jack's lyrics but I think hes a very underrated guitarist.
