I love the whole Give Up album, I gotta say... from start to finish, it's strong, interesting, compelling and just a damn tight pop album with very few glitches. I love it.

Give Up is a bit inconsistent IMO. Such Great Heights is fantastic and most of the first half is pretty good, but it seems to taper off in the second half. Maybe I just need to listen to it a few more times?

I dunno, I LOVE the closing track, especially with it's instrumental buildup before launching into the vocals. Great track.

I love Give Up too, each of the songs grows on you in time. I did something similar with another album by the Qemists, a few songs hit me at first, then a couple more, then the rest of the album. Give Up is very much like that.

That said, Ocean Eyes is very good and anyone who likes TPS should give it a proper listen, give it a chance. If you like that kind of music, then you shouldn't complain that there's more of it...

I love this band! I was introduced to them by the DEBS soundtrack. lolz

Owl City is almost like those chinese knockoff cars and cellphones, they are that similar...

Ever since I saw that 1/10 review score for "Fireflies", I feel like I need to play devil's advocate and defend Owl City. Sure, his voice is very similar to Ben Gibbard's, but if you take the two albums side by side, they're actually pretty different. Postal Service focuses more on simple, minimalistic beats and gradual build-ups, whereas Owl City is much more pop oriented and the album feels more calculated and produced.
I don't like or hate Owl City, I just feel the guy gets too much hate. That is all.

Pretty average I'd say in the scheme of things, the district is certainly sleeping alone tonight...

Would you like a thousand hugs from ten thousand lightning bugs?
