silversun pickups g/b?

i don't really see the Placebo comparison at all though. indie doesn't need an "intelligent" ver of anything.

I feel so late on the hype, but "Lazy Eye" woke me up out of nowhere on the radio two months ago and I've been hooked ever since.
I really like the Curtis Vodka remix, too, but I feel like I need to find one (purchase?) at a higher bit rate. Unless the one floating around is the most it goes.

Yeah, the getting somewhere, I just got the album today and I'm rather surprised that I'm liking it, too. I kind of want more out of the percussion, though.

that curtis vodka remix of lazy eye is le crappe

the awful sound is not bit rate induced, i assure you.

well if you can trump it with something. because i'm listening to it now...and it's guilty but I like it. I just want a sharper beat underneath. because it comes in not so exciting but I let the rest of it find me anyway.

"Lazy Eye" is a good song

I totally get why they are compared to early Pumpkins but at the same time I don't, they capture the mood but the sound is v. different

I hope for this band's sake that roger mexico is the only person that casually refers to them as "spups"

I totally get why they are compared to early Pumpkins

SP came on the radio this morning and thought was "Man these guys are gonna be the Interpol/Rapture of the soon-come early 90s revival."

This band is OK on the shoegazey songs where just the girl sings, but the dude has an awful nu-emo shouty voice that just doesn't fit with the music.

I hate this band because they make downloading songs by late '90s britpop legends Silver Sun difficult.

Saw them play last night. Good show - I'm cool with the whole Pumpkins/Breeders comparisons though. There's many, many worse bands to be compared with. Whiny emo singer guy should probably give the audience interaction thing a miss though.

"lazy eye" reminds me less of smashing pumpkins and more of the dambuilders, sunny day real estate, spent, and maybe swervedriver, the stuff that perhaps mid-era smashing pumpkins were also being influenced by.

it's an interesting song, it's as if the last 15 years never happened. I give it an A-.

i know i'm always so late on the great pop songs!!! i can't help it.

the faster version they played on letterman is better.

'future foe scenarios' is the only track by them that's made its way into my head

hey "Lazy Eye" is good

don't really get the Pumpkins comparisons, not heavy or dreamy enough

"Kissing Families" sounds a lot like The Get Up Kids or pre-Middle Jimmy Eat World, though

which songs have the lady bass player singing?

I'm not sure if I stand by this comment or not.

you're wrong on that. silversun pickups are not gonna be new/fresh enough when the 90s revival hits. they'll find some new band still playing their first dozen live shows to hype instead.

Prob right

Swoon avail for preorder on Amazon, release sked Apr 14

I'm liking this new album. Unexpectedly.

i like this. i am as baffled as you are.

I need to listen! I love "Panic Switch."

Both albums are kinda front-loaded.. if you take the 1st 7 songs from carnavas and the first 5 songs from swoon, it's as solid as a record can get.

the acoustic performance they keep playing on Palladia is all i know of 'em

ha, that is what i get for trying to fix it.

i so need an edit button...

The Royal We was 2010's Whirring except a little better

i was wondering what erryone else thought.

Hi therre!

didn't get too into the new album

but they're on letterman tonight

Yeah, I kinda felt like there was a couple of directions they could've taken their sound and the new album was the one I really hoped the avoided.

a few of the songs are great

you could build a great album out of all three records and i tried http://open.spotify.com/user/unbornwhiskey/playlist/6xz1ZTisxz3ecFFU93LeWI

sings like a girl

uh, great commentary.

most notable thing about them

I am kinda bummed about this album..

you could build a great album out of all three records
I'd choose 7 songs from Carnavas and 6 songs from Swoon.. and nothing from the new one. :(

unless the new one contains some massive growers that haven't stuck in my head just yet

"simmer" and "the pit" are both really great, "simmer" particularly in the vein of "the royal we." that build

did the letterman thing as an hour-long concert online exclusive thing

http://www.cbs.com/late_night/liveonletterman/silversun_pickups/video/

The chorus of "Bloody Mary" is constantly in my head. And they had a stopgap EP thing from last year, and the first song on that is really great - "Seasick." I would add those to your ideal album playlist.

yeah "bloody mary"'s really worked its way in. "seasick" was on an original draft of the playlist but it felt distinctly lesser than the other songs.

they're putting out a greatest hits which looks like it'll probably be their best album

01) Kissing Families
02) Lazy Eye
03) Well Thought Out Twinkles
04) Little Lover's So Polite
05) Panic Switch
06) Substitution
07) The Royal We
08) Bloody Mary (Nerve Endings)
09) The Pit
10) Dots And Dashes (Enough Already)
11) Cannibal

new song kicks

They had a two song single for the last Record Store Black Friday thing and it was supposedly two Carnavas-era songs recently recorded, but I can't find it streaming anywhere. Curious to hear it.

new album is totally their best, and proceeds logically from "cannibal"

new album, widow's weeds, out june 7. reportedly produced by butch vig. new song is amazing

Great video, good song. I don't think I've heard anything from this group since they sounded like Smashing Pumpkins; this one has more in common with DCFC. More importantly. Silversun Pickups - do they make a good living?

this is good

absolutely in love with the guitar tone in this

Can't wait to hear this, but can confirm that the video looks terrible without sound.

i LOVE the new record

absolutely in love with the guitar tone in this

can say this about every song

yeah this is pretty great.

my wife is a big fan of this band now so we went and saw them last night and they were great. wish I'd seen them earlier. i still find all their albums after the first one kind of a samey blur but they were certainly fun in a 90's way live.
