A big fan of Post Punk, Punk, Goth, New Wave, and Electronic music, the more British or Euro the better (though I am from the US and love much of our own as well).

Spike Hyzer's Album Reviews
It's a pretty decent first effort that I wouldn't necessarily call post punk, more indie pop with a bit more edge than virtually all of that ilk. Broken Biscuits, Best Tears, and R & B are the obvious highlights here.
I will say that the musicianship is top notch throughout and that it doesn't drag or get samey as some have indicated. It's actually quite diverse and indie oriented at times, a skewed sort of gothy epic pop that recalls some of Siouxsie's more mainstream work.
It's a great first effort, but the youthful lack of insights into the world and their selves shows, but it's far from the masterpiece the fans believe.
