Opinions about the Go! Team?

What's the general feeling in Freaky Trigger etc. circles about the Go! Team? I know little of their stuff and sense that they get an ambivalent reaction, but I actually like the little I've heard. An old track of theirs was used effectively in the U.S. this year in a television PSA (public service announcement):

Best tracks off "Thunder, Lightning Strike":
1. Bottle Rocket - Messy calypso/uplifting cheerleading anthem
2. Huddle Formation - Indish bassline / underwater playground? one.
3. Feel good by numbers - Charlie Brown meets the Waltons.
Felt like I was the only one that really like them at all back in 2006/7. Haven't really enjoyed anything since this album.

Yeah, I liked the first album, but also felt that they were one of those bands who only really needed to make one.

If he still makes records with the girls who shout-rapped on the first album, I could stand to hear more of them.
