That Postal Service CD is among the best in a long, long time.

I'm with you Grotty. I find it listenable, but not remarkable. In terms of synth driven pop, I found the Stars album to be more satisfying.

something about the guys voice works really well with the synths. Probably because it is so sickly sweet and smooth.
 
 I think the album is great. Definitely one of the best things I have heard all year.

I really don't like his voice that much, but it works very well with his Death Cab songwriting sometimes, like on the Photo Album.
 
 I understand why people like Postal Service so much, it's kind of different from most other indie stuff.  Although I like the album, if I'm going to listen to Gibbard's voice, I prefer DCFC.

I dont think I bought that many records this year.  But of the ones I did, I liked these:
 
 Ween - Quebec
 The Drive-By Truckers record
 Roots - Phrenology
 Tomahawk - Mit Gas
 Jurassic 5 - Newest record
 The live Clutch record, whatever thats called
 
 I bought the new Janes Addiction record but barely got passed the first few songs.  Maybe its OK.  And I dont know if the newest QOTSA record came out this year or last, but that was good.

I thought it was just ok. I played it when I initially bought it, but not since. [/b]
I'm with Moon on that.

Listening to this for the first time right now, I like it so far, especially Romantic Comedy, but I don't think it is as good as Postal Service or that similar, IMHO.
