kick ass new tv on the radio album? who agrees?!

"Not I" said the elitist bastard.

awww man! i totally agree! the hidden song with martin from antibalas afrobeat orchestra is the bizz!

I LOVE IT!

i'm only getting into these and i got this CD on holidays (impulse buy...near the counter) and i love it, they are a great band.

I loved Desperate Youth Bloodthirsty babes
I loved the EP NEW HEALTH ROCK, and YOUNG LIARS EP as well

TV on The Radio used to be two dudes, ad slowly they built up a full band. it is great stuff.

has anyone heard "ok calculator"?

not I

i like it a lot, it's definitely a departure and i do miss the overtly drum machine and vocal harmonizing used on their past shit; but it would be silly to bitch about it, i like it's different and they have matured into accomplished songwriters.

Their drummer is sooooo good.

I really love the new album.

well thanks to the advice of record people i'm listening to 4 mp3s of this record i just downloaded

weird, i got 2 versions of wolf like me, one is 5:08 the other 5:15 oh its live. god dam the 5:08 i hate the vocals, the 5;15 sounds like fucking frank zappa-- awesome. i think there is some confusion as to the identity of these tracks.

now "i was a lover"-- oh hm sounds like they borrowed a page from (strangely) bjork (those synth noises in the background). thou the curtain of noise in front of it rocks.

not sure about the vocals. i often with dudes were mute so women would sing everything everywhere.

and now, on to yo la tengo...

ha ha! I cannot listen to women singers too much! I rock sleater kinney and kim gordon but all in all I prefer hearing dudes sing. odd huh?

i really hate tv on the radio

why do you hate tv on the radio?

With the exception of "Wolf Like Me" i'm totally unimpressed by this album.

i agree! it's nice to see them going from playing over the same drum loop for the entire duration of the song to having songs with actual progressive structure.

dont get this album at all. found it poor in comparison to the first one. cant get into it at all. its like a mental block or something....

even though i think this has great production the songs are pretty weak compared to their other stuff,

i was pretty dissappointed with it
