A lot of people loved them and a lot of people got tired of them.  Come this September, the Cold War Kids are going to try and strengthen the testimony of their followers or convert the nonbelievers with their sophomore release Loyalty to Loyalty.  Though the Cold War Kids were one of my favorite local, LA-based acts of 2006, I find myself in need of some convincing that their new album will be “something of a masterpiece…brimming with the poignant, intimate narratives and brooding atmospherics”, as their press release states.  I am hopeful though after I heard this little snippet from the upcoming album:
