yeah...

I like the group, but this isn't one of their better cuts.

"water sure is cold."
"yeah, it's deep too."

12:43 pm - Nada Surf - Your Legs Grow

OK, pithy Jam sandwich commentary aside, what a perfect waste of a great Jam tune. The rest in this set so far are absolute rubbish.

And then came Ennio Morricone to save the day?

Eeek!

I'd say overall that Nada Surf is a good 6.5/10

Buckley's voice grates on me; but, I do like the Beach Boys some. . . I just don't find either of them to be pivotal in my musical journey. . .

Why would anyone pay good money to go and heckle a band when you can heckle them in here for free?

Steven Wilson would not be proud.

pretty tune.. good for work as it just blends into the background.

the beginning reminded me of the thompson twin's song from sixteen candles -- now I'd rather hear that :)

If you think this is better than Sufjan Stevens, then all I can say is that some one has vandalized your musical tastes.

HaHa

Yeah, and Bill follows up with SS. Now that is Karma!

I saw them in concert circa 2001. They were pretty good, although they did get heckled by hipsters mockingly yelling for "Popular."

And I. They have a nice pop sound.

But I still am not sure why your legs would grow if you're in deep water.

It takes a lot of fortitude to survive something like "Popular." You've got to hand it to them. Nice job...

Um-hmm...still is.

Had to click on now playing to see if they were really saying "your legs grow"

huh?

This is amazingly boring.

suffyawn stevens a musical genius? hardly; i would classify him more in the category of overappreciated hack. . . no SS cut deserves more than a 1. . .

this song: 7 9

This sounds like a cross between Snow Patrol and Sufjan Stevens. Now this is a real insult to Sufjan cause he is a musical genius. But these guys have that borish, poppy dribble that is Snow Patrol's mantra.

And for that it gets a 3 (and that's being generous).

Pretty funny to hear these guys. I was taking a CS class at Columbia in 1996 with the bass player (didn't know it at the time). A couple of weeks into the term the professor informed us that one of our classmates had dropped out to follow his musical dream. A month or so later I see a Nada Surf video and recognize the bright orange pants and dark glasses the bass player is wearing (that's all he ever wore to class). Glad to see he caught the dream.

I've been listening to this for a year today and I never tire of it Go Nada Surf!

give it a chance. Its the nastalgia of youth. I do get a little sick of the chorus, but I still like the song.

The "your legs gro-oh-oh-oooow" bit really gets on my nerves. Otherwise, I kind of like it.

thanks for turning me onto nada surf RP. all i used to know about them was 'popular', since then i've discovered the 'let go' album. i don't listen to a lot of indie pop, but these guys do it very well. good band.
