It's no 'Lazy Eye' but it's awright. Nice atmosphere and production. But it's getting old. Meanwhile there is brilliance out there that's not being aired...

Growing old is better than the alternative, except to the very naive.  Yeah, I'm talking to you, Roger Daltry.

From Smells Like Teel Spirit into this quality SSPU track, another quality segue.

Just got the record after hearing this on RP. And yeah, the whole album is pretty awesome and well worth the money. Highly recommended. The next one, "Neck of the woods" is quite different in pace and all the same very very likeable.

Or an early sunday evening at home, I'm getting old and kind of like it better because I feel a little wiser just by the promise of the growing part of it

So what do you think Romney is...?

Maybe the wrong definition (according to what or whom) was used,

it is still not incorrect to call this "Republic Tiger" exactly that!

A society should not define itself through millionairs, but through the poorest!

AMERICA is on a very wrong way - that much is sure!

The better - not the best - choice is certainly OBAMA!

It starts quietly, but with a kind of coiled intensity. Gradually builds to a climax that still doesn't let it all bust loose, then withdraws back into its shell.

Oh, I do believe you were! On the song, that is {#Good-vibes} Great comment, Lewie!

I was happy to hear that they issued a cease and desist order to the Romney campaign for violating their copyright.
Shame on Romney for not contacting them and at least trying to get permission.
Most artists don't want to be associated with right wing extremists, and I don't blame them.
Kudos to the Silversuns for stickin' it to the Man Who Would Be King.
 

Are you surprised that it happened at all???

My only regret when seeing them in an awesome concert a few weeks ago is that they did not play this song.  This is probably the song that "broke" them for me, right here on good ol' Radio Paradise.  KCRW had been playing them too, but not this song and Bill played it every few days eventually working its way into my brain, where it still remains.

I couldn't agree with the title of this track any more if I tried.

Great. 
Masters of haunting repetiition - in the same way that Snow Patrol are - with their own unique sound.
The bassline is simple but compelling. 
Very good indeed! 
 
Bumped this up instead of writing it again!
I don't tire of this band.

Sweet vocals. Groovin' beat (when it kicks in later in the tune). Wicked, scratchy guitar. Nice!

This song is good as the name of the group. I love the name Silversun Pickups. It exudes bright and clean. That's how I see their sound. Maybe not much sense to anybody but me....
