 Catchy Synth Pop Aug 28, 2010
Let me preface this by saying, I'm a huge Ben Gibbard fan and this album delights me fiercely. The album starts out with District Sleeps Alone, which is very catchy. The second Track, Such Great Heights, a cover of Iron and Wine is simply fantastic. The melodic hooks inspire. Nothing Better features Jenny Lewis from Rilo Kiley and her sweet, sultry voice is a delicious match to Ben Gibbard's vocals. This song will have you tapping your fingers to the lyrical beat.
The middle of the album is a bit boring but it gets better towards the end. Sleeping In and Natural Anthem are great songs. If you savor catchy synth pop and want to hark back to the 80's with a new millenium feel, then this is the album you've been searching for. This music sounds good really loud too, I have an amp in my trunk and the bass on District Sleeps Alone rocks my rearview mirror which is delightful.
 Great Album!!! Aug 07, 2010
Out of the thousand of albums I own this is one of my favorite albums in my collection. Ben Gibbard is one of the best songwriters of his generation and teamed up with Jimmy Tamborello the two of them create wonderful indie pop music. From the opening track "The District Sleeps Alone Tonight" to the final track "Natural Anthem" I can't imagine this album being any better. When you have an amazing song like "Such Great Heights" and it isn't even the best song on the album you know that you've got a winner.
I love, love, love them! Apr 28, 2010
I love the soft,yet poped, and hyped up sound that comes out of my turntable. Everytime I listen to this album, I love it more and more. This album is genius!
Great Album Apr 12, 2010
This is just a good album. There are some standout tracks, definitely, but the whole thing is so listenable. I downloaded some tracks from amazon's mp3 store before deciding to buy the CD-- if you have a pretty high quality stereo, I recommend it. The difference is there.
Also, I tried to find some info out about where they recorded it and the synths used-- I think I hear and SID synth in there, is that right? Such a great mix of sounds.
