The Postal Service

discothequeLP · 07-29-2005, 09:25 AM

maybe i should have posted this in Zoo Confessionals . . . i LOVE the Postal Service! their music is so damn tight, even though the lyrics are pretty lame. the guy's voice is great, and i love all the electronic stuff going on. it's pretty cool.

Postal Service is like a super band which is when the best of three awesome bands make one really awesome band

Death Cab + Rilo Kiley + DNTL = Postal Service

the lyrics aren't lame their just really cheery and light-hearted, they fit the music

example -
And then last night i had that strange dream
Where everything was exactly how it seemed
Where concerns about the world getting warmer
The people thought they were just being rewarded
For treating others as they like to be treated
For obeying stop signs and curing diseases
For mailing letters with the address of the sender
Now we can swim any day in november

Give Up is one of my favorite start-to-finish records. The Postal Service is absolutely fantastic.

I like the album. Gets a bit meandering at points, but it gets some leeway for being a side project.

unosdostres14 · 07-29-2005, 11:42 AM

Give Up is the ultimate chillaxing album.

I can't believe i just said chillaxing.

i just got the latest Death Cab fro Cutie album -- i like it too!

i heard a Death Cab song on the radio last night and i thought it was Postal Service

I love The Postal Service too. My favourite song by them is "Such Great Heights," it's incredible.

it's hardly a guilty pleasure for me, I think they are quite spiffy

gareth brown · 07-30-2005, 07:59 AM

Such Great Heights, for me, is terrible...plus, listen to code4 by 'Polysics' and it sounds like TPS have ripped them off...!

IWasBored · 07-31-2005, 01:00 AM

i think that "the district sleeps alone tonight" may be one of the best songs i've ever heard. other than that, i've never heard anything of theirs, i hate them just on the basis of what i've read. that's me being close-minded. thanks to pax and her ICDE cd, though, i'll probably end up going and buying whatever album it is i need to own as soon as i've got the spare cash.

U2alli · 07-31-2005, 01:30 PM

they are great. i love their version of "against all odds"

unosdostres14 · 07-31-2005, 01:35 PM

'Nothing Better' is good too

Se7en · 07-31-2005, 04:29 PM

great cd.

ben gibbard has a very unique voice.

Sure it sounds a little similar.. but in the end they are quite different songs and good in their own right on their own merits.

At least SGH doesn't have those annoying processed vocals

Give Up is a solid record.

Se7en · 08-05-2005, 08:06 AM

i'm listening to this album and just had to bump this back to the top. it's sooo good.

joyfulgirl · 08-05-2005, 08:48 AM

I really like them and I actually think the lyrics are pretty great.

Hmmm, I can see what you mean about that. I'm not sure it's really a case of one band ripping the other off though. I like both those bands anyway. I've been listening to The Postal Service quite a lot the last few weeks.

LarryMullen's POPAngel · 08-05-2005, 08:49 AM

I love this album.

u2popmofo · 08-05-2005, 09:16 AM

In my opinion it's one of those rare records that's more or less has "modern classic" written all over it. One of those kind of albums that was successful not only in the indie world but also got some mainstream attention. Extremely solid and enjoyable album, nothing to be embarrassed about in any way.

How many of us are Death Cab fans now because of The Postal Service??

I haven't heard as much of Death Cab but what I have heard sounds just like Postal Service.
