Getting tiresome. The Thrill(s) is gone.

Wow. Such dislike for such a catchy, fun tune. I'd rather hear harmonies in a song like this a thousand times more than one listen of Sugar Ray tune

eww, just because it worked for the Beatles doesn't mean it can work for you.

Hmm.
Based on this song and Big Sur, I bought the album. I love the power-pop chords and the unbelievable harmonies.
But that being said...what I find myself bristling over is the lead singer's ability to twist enough vowels around so a lot of words don't actually sound like the words themselves.
The album is also a touch repetitive - I just didn't find enough variety in it. I also have a petty little beef with the whole album being about California when the band is from Ireland, but I digress. :)

a "little ELO"? All it needs is a vocoder to go "Misssstr Bwue Schkiiiiii"....

Wow, can't believe all the negative comments about the Thrills...although this song is not one of their best it is still original, doesn't sound like every other song out there. The rest of the CD is much better, and if you go to see them live it's fun to watch the singer spasm out as he sings.

Sounds really similar to the Flaming Lips to me (vocals anyway). I'm not thrilled by either band.
I just looked at the other song they have on the RP playlistâ Big Surâand I had posted that it sounded like the Flaming Lips to me there as well. I'm nothing if not consistent.  |

Man. So many people tell me to like these guys, and I just can't. Sorry.
But I love Jellyfish. And Olivia Tremor Control. And Ben Folds Five. And those Beatle guys.
Just not this.
