Ah. Thanks.

I love this album. Amazing isn't strong enough.

It dosn't stay consistently as strong as the opening two tracks, although that said there are a few belters on here, and I'd like to see a second album from this pair at some point.
Favourite track on it?I'd go for Vaporize.

Got the new free single 'Vaporize' this morning. Kind of makes me wish I hadn't pre-ordered the album, it's quite mediocre.

Yeah I like it a lot, but I kind of am in the same boat as you. Except I bought the super deluxe $40 edition. I might just no open it and see what I can get for it on ebay or something.

I mean the album is good, but I really did expect more.

So, I'm listening to the song previews on iTunes and I get to the song 'Citizen' and it sounds nothing like the version of 'Citizen' I have. Someone on this website said a song titled 'Float' had been renamed to 'Citizen' but that's totally wrong. Any one nice enough to upload the real 'Citizen' and send it to me?

I guess I have a song omitted from the album. If someone hasn't heard this 'Float' song, I could upload it for them.

I must say looking forward to checking this one out if anyone can assist. I really need to get caught up on all my music, I completely forgot this album was even on it's way and despite what people are saying I was looking forward to it for a long time. Is it anything like The Shins?

PM sent dude.

You definitely get James Mercer's voice in there, though he does a lot of falsetto (especially in The Ghost Inside, my favorite track). It's a lot more electronic than the Shins though.

^ The above is true, and I also really like 'The Ghost Inside'.

I think fans of The Shins are more likely to enjoy this than fans of Danger Mouse. A couple songs seem like they'd be right at home on a 4th Shins album, others are definitely more electronic with a different vocal style. Overall you still get a 60s pop vibe on many of the songs, and I enjoy it.

My favorite part of that song is when he comes in with:

They call it chivalry
Never pull a punch for free

I can vouch for this statement. I am an avid fan of the The Shins and feel that some of the tracks have more of a 'The Shins' feel to them too. I'm not real big on Danger Mouse. Having said that, I sincerely enjoyed Danger Mouse's contribution to the project although I am very glad James Mercer style overcame his.

I just hope James Mercer & Co. put out another album soon. It's been way too long! Three years!
