I'm not really a fan of Petridis but it's nice to see a bit of recognition. Even on here the Teardrops have a mixed reputation, but i've always felt that they've never really been given a fair hearing - for me they're a very different band from the not uncommon perception of them as fleeting teeny-pop chancers.
Presumably 'Wilder' and 'Fried' will get 6 stars, then. ;-)
