BFMV's first album is fucking brilliant
Less hit and miss, I would have said, than Scream Aim Fire

Their first album was gash.
At least by the time Scream Aim Fire came out, they'd realised that they couldn't continue to whimper like little girls, and actually worked on learning to play their instruments.

Always a bonus for a musical ensemble.

I'm not sure I actually agree with this.
On the one hand: snotty teenage mid-60s garage punk bands, on the other Emerson Lake and Palmer.

This is quite true
Although you could argue that some of the snotty teenage mid-60s garage punk bands turned out to be quite good because one of their members grew up to be Emerson, Lake or Palmer.

You could argue that, but you would lose the argument pretty quickly.

I wasn't going to argue that.
Just saying that you could.

Explain "Bittersweet Memories" then smartarse
that was on SAF and was the worst kind of emo shite. Also, explain the chorus lyrics to "Hearts Burst Into Fire". Is Matt Tuck a fucking Time Lord or summat?

I haven't listened to the album well enough to know different tracks off it
Is it as emo as 'All these things I hate'?

The only good track I'll accept off the first album is 'Tears Don't Fall', although it does have a remarkably gay title.

As emo, yeah, but not as good a song musically. At least All these Things I Hate is moshable.
Just Another Star, which is actually from an EP predating The Poison, is my favourite song of theirs. Absolute belter.
