solace

some of the takes are very different (there's some new stuff on Alive)

the more i listen to this new one, the more i'm falling for it... damn

i got the regular deluxe CD thingy, if you get pre-order through Best Buy you get 3 exclusive Rock Band tracks (Brother, and SOLAT & Alive from Drop In The Park)

dunno that i'd call them jangly pop... they're very VERY very very VERY twee

yeah, now that i look, it's just mine has a bit brighter colors than that one: and yeah, the re-issue switched the ice cream dude to the front

that and I can't tell you the last time i listened to the first one... prolly '07 or so

i've seen 2 diff covers of that before (the vinyl and re-issue) but never that one, weird

The National, Frightened Rabbit, & The Pains of Being Pure at Heart are likely all playing it. lineup should be announced in the next 2 weeks

don't worry, it's not just you... took me prolly 6-7 listens to start clicking. there aren't too many standouts, but all around it's really consistent

seriously cannot WAIT to hear this thing... i've always dug them, esp the last record, but this new single they've beefed up their sound BIG time: http://www.wearephoenix.com/ check out the first single '1901', been playing it on repeat all damn day i think they should be tested for steroids and mfwhal, post in this thread so i can watch green man dance to this song again edit:

their manager talked about this in more detail last week and stated that it was ONLY going to happen in Europe and to not expect a US Tour that said, if Lolla offers then the right amount of $$, you can guarantee they'll play there

well this certainly isn't bad by any means... not sure what was up w/ those few reviews i'd read... not blowing me away, but def enjoying it

Melt Banana. loudest show you will ever see, guaranteed.

yeah, i like it, just maybe not been in the mood for it just yet

i loved Lie Down In The Light but was not a huge fan of The Letting Go (mostly the female backing vox). is there a bunch (or any) female vox on here?

this has been getting some poor reviews, so i'm curious to hear it

haven't taken to this new one quite like the debut just yet for some reason, might save it for spring

nope but it's better than him claiming it's U2 or Bruce

really wishing these guys would tour... has crept into my top 3 on the year

haha... musically i don't think it does, but i hear the vocal similarities on that first song on their myspace

yeah, EP3, they've been selling it for a little over a year now, but it's pretty awesome. hope your show is better than Minneapolis last week tho, it was baaaaaaaaad

curious if the vinyls will have the bonus tracks or just the CD's
