solace Posted March 12, 2010 Share Posted March 12, 2010 it's a pretty pleasant/fun/chill album, i dig it but don't LOVE it. i do however enjoy it more than the last Shins album Quote Link to post Share on other sites

solace Posted March 12, 2010 Share Posted March 12, 2010 i will say, i really love their cover of Neil Young's 'Don't Let It Bring You Down' http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lMHBaxN_mfs Quote Link to post Share on other sites
uncle tupelo Posted March 13, 2010 Share Posted March 13, 2010 like this one a lot...a collaboration that works very well...."Trap Doors" is a favorite right now. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
brianjeremy Posted March 13, 2010 Share Posted March 13, 2010 I picked a copy of this yesterday, but I've had it for months. I really like the record and agree with the chill factor comments. I listened to it yesterday while chilling out. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bsr8j Posted March 14, 2010 Share Posted March 14, 2010 it's a pretty pleasant/fun/chill album, i dig it but don't LOVE it. i do however enjoy it more than the last Shins album Agreed. I'm not sure I'll go out and pick up a copy, but I am enjoying listening to the stream at Spinner. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mahinty Posted March 14, 2010 Share Posted March 14, 2010 i will say, i really love their cover of Neil Young's 'Don't Let It Bring You Down' Sweet clip I'm liking the album - particularly the first half. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
a-me-with-a-you Posted April 16, 2010 Share Posted April 16, 2010 Definitely one of the best new albums I've picked up in a while, I can't say much about the individual songs because I always put this cd on for the whole runtime and I kind of fade away into thought a lot when listening to some types of music. Definitely not a watered down version of The Shins, this band, really worth a look. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
hardwood floor Posted April 16, 2010 Share Posted April 16, 2010 very good record Quote Link to post Share on other sites
auctioneer69 Posted April 16, 2010 Share Posted April 16, 2010 very good record Agreed. First few listens left me a tad underwhelmed but a month later it's definitely a current favourite. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bjorn_skurj Posted April 16, 2010 Share Posted April 16, 2010 I like this album, and retract my insult of Danger Mouse from the other thread. (I still think the Grey Album is way overrated, though.) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
tangara Posted April 16, 2010 Share Posted April 16, 2010 They're better live than on record, though I don't love the record. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Moss Posted July 21, 2010 Share Posted July 21, 2010 New video for Broken Bells "The Ghost inside". Cool Sci Fi vibe with Christina Hendricks from Mad Men. Ghost inside video Quote Link to post Share on other sites
auctioneer69 Posted July 22, 2010 Share Posted July 22, 2010 New video for Broken Bells "The Ghost inside". Cool Sci Fi vibe with Christina Hendricks from Mad Men. Ghost inside video Thanks. Aside from Christina Hendricks in a jump-suit this is a great video and a nice extended-version of a good song. The album has been given short change by critics and punters alike in my humble opinion. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
