Review by Jason MacNeil @ allmusic.com
With the rise of groups like the Killers and Franz Ferdinand came a new appreciation for finely tuned electro-tinged rock or pop.

Oh look it's a new post... ...a bit of a rarity nowadays I'm sure you'll agree!We Are Pilots by Shiny Toy Guns is one of the best albums I have heard in ages. Had it for about a month now and the iTunes play count is soaring.Highlights include Le Disko, You Are The One and Don't Cry Out...but all the tracks are good (ie. 3 or more stars out of 5).I think you should buy it.It's on amazon.co.uk for about five quid from one of the market place sellers which is a veritable bargain.Purchase immediately.Shiny Toy GunsSTG on MySpaceAmazon.co.uktherazorwire@gmail.com
