 Truly Amazing! January 20, 2010

I first came across this on the off chance; it was a random music download, but by the time I heard the first bars I loved it! It's very synthy - think Pet Shop Boys crossed with Imogen Heap or Human League crossed with Goldfrapp; Lush right? It's very relaxing, I had goosepimples the first time listening to it! It's also uplifting and the lyrics are very relevant. Five stars from me and a big positive thumbs up :)
A poppier version of Postal Service, but very good netherless! January 24, 2010

I got the import version of the album from marketplace Ocean Eyes as it came out in the states last year, annoying that it takes so long to get it sorted with a uk distributor, anyway was about the same price with postage from states.
From start to finish its the nice blippy bloppy synth sounds that if you like Postal ServiceGive Up or Imogen Heap Ellipse or Speak for Yourself then you will probably like this. It's very good, my only concern is that it is maybe a bit too pop for me, but I can be a bit of a music snob so 99% of people please ignore me and if you think you are that other 1% have a listen anyway as it got me hooked quickly, but has been overplayed on the radio already. My highlight is this single Fireflies, which is why I have posted this on this page too, I heard this song first, but it is all very nice on the album too Ocean Eyes. Nice lyrics too. Suggest checking out a famous vid streaming site for the singles to listen to that other famous audio streaming site. :D Very good album too indeed!! I couldn't wait for the UK release before and I like my music legal and so should you! 22nd Feb grab the album, well worth it. But try my other suggestions too! :)
Nice Song, Simple Lyrics February 26, 2010

I bought this song specifically for my 4yr old son. He's heard it on the car radio, and the lyrics were easy for him to memorize. I'm just happy that he can listen to a song that's not about sex, drinking or shooting people -- and the bonus is that it's not Miley Cyrus or the Jonas Brothers, etc.
The video is also pretty cute with the toys coming to life. I know nothing else about Owl City, or Postal Service, but I do think this is a great song.
