They are a pretty big thing here, but I live just about a half hour away from where they grew up. It was exciting to see how they blew up from a hometown band to something much bigger. Personally I think Safari song is my favorite and I wasn't as impressed with their first full album as I was with their EP. I have missed several chances to see them live over the years and I kind of regret that. I agree though, they need to evolve a little more at some point or they will get lost in the dust.
