Haven't been this excited about an album since I was for With Teeth or 10,000 Days

[taviow]

Interesting... never heard anything from them so I will listen to some stuff.

Edit: recommendations, etc?

[Ennui]

the album Return to Cookie Mountain

[Van_Halen]

Weeeeeeeeee charlie! Lets go to cookie mountain!
Cookie mountain charlie!
COOKIE MOUNTAIN!
Lets wish ourselves there!

Sorry, couldn't resist.

I haven't ever heard of these guys either. I'll check them out. :D

[taviow]

Thanks. Cookie mountain :O
Sounds interesting.

[Zephos]

Awesome, I immensely enjoyed Cookie Mountain (except for Wash the Day :>)

[Geogaddi]

And word on what direction they will be moving in musically?

[Ennui]

Unknown, but there have been a few singles released since the last album with new tracks, and they are VERY promising, some of my favorite TVOTR songs are the most recent ones.

[TheAntipop]

Yey. :)

[staticprimer]

Awesome, I was wondering when we would get a new album from them.

[JNightshade]

Good god, I can't wait. TVoTR are beyond excellent (and I have only Onwee to thank for getting me into them :D )

[Phobie]

Hoooorayyyyyy!

[Stigmata]

Yes.

That is all.

[TheAntipop]

My problem with TV is I don't find them consistent with their music. They have some GREAT, really memorable tunes that I've listened to hundreds of times but then on all of their releases I also find quite a lot of throwaway stuff that I just can't enjoy. I might need to re-surface the discog from my harddrive and give it all a listen through.

[TheAntipop]

Mm, the track Golden Age is on the internet from the upcoming album. Downloading it now, PM me for details if you want it.

[undertone]

cookie mountain kept me interested for half of it... then the songs just never grabbed onto me. mind you, the first half of the album i must have listened to for a good 3 weeks straight.

i hope they keeping moving in that awesome direction they had going.

[Ennui]

I've been listening to Golden Age and Dancing Choose all day.

[TheAntipop]

I have the new TV on the Radio album, Dear Science.

PM for links, if you wish.

EDIT: It's really, really good. It flows so much better than Cookie Mountain, if you ask me. There's only one stand out for me so far, DLZ, but the rest of the album is one of those albums that just sounds really good without it having to have one or two songs that jump out for me to keep hitting 'repeat' on. I haven't been putting 100% attention towards it (working at the minute) but in the background it's sounding pretty sublime.

Can't wait to get into it more!

I'm really liking "Halfway Home", "Shout Me Out", and "Lover's Day".

Damn, I love that beat halfway through "Shout Me Out".

[Ennui]

I like all of it really. If I started naming songs I'd probably name 70% of them and then feel bad about not naming the other 30% which have their own beautiful merits as well.

This band is what God idly hums.

[stemot]

Not my kind of thing, listened to Cookie Mountain and just thought it was awful :(

[FoxDie]

Not my kind of thing, listened to Cookie Mountain and just thought it was awful :(
Start with "Desperate Youth, Bloodthirsty Babes," it's more accessible than their other albums.

I'm really enjoying Dancing Choose, Stork & Owl, and Family Tree right now.
