i remember that the reason the album didn't get released in this side of the world at the same time was because there was still some unfinished business with their previous label licensing and needed to be sorted out, it also happened during daniel's illness, which cut the band's touring time off, so the label, once they gained the licensing rights, didn't think the album could sell without the band touring, so they shelved it for a year. the band was promoted outside of australia only twice in their career, when frogstomp was released and when neon ballroom was released.
that said, i think it's pointless trying to prove the band is good, people don't like them, they won't like them no matter what. it's just a waste of time and it's their loss. i hate when people try to pimp me bands i don't like because i end up hating them more, so please, stop trying to convince anyone in the board to like them.
