ivet Posted January 13, 2010 Share Posted January 13, 2010 These are quite good listens, too! they are :nice: I'm enjoying this album very much, i'm not exactly one to go into deep insight on how it's progressed or not. It's not as amazing and mind blowing as their debut but pretty great so far. Cousins has the potential to be 2010's A-Punk and the rest of the songs are quite solid. The strong fun danceable beats are still there but as you guys have pointed out, it’s more mature and sophisticated. From the moment I pre ordered to yesterday when I first heard the album as whole, fresh and new… it was definitely worth the wait :sweatdrop: And I’m not gonna do a track by track review b/c I suck :cool4: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fietssleutel Posted January 13, 2010 Share Posted January 13, 2010 This morning, I suddenly loved Contra. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrMagpie Posted January 13, 2010 Share Posted January 13, 2010 I just bought it before class today. I'll let you folks know what I think of it. I'm not that familiar with them, bought it because i had gift cards and wanted to try something new. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

an angel Posted January 13, 2010 Share Posted January 13, 2010 I just got their first album in the mail today, and I'm listening to it for the first time now. I think it'll have to grow on me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimmyneutron Posted January 13, 2010 Share Posted January 13, 2010 the album's growing on me It is a grower! I am so in love with it. I can't understand all the cousins love though, that's my least favourite on the whole album! There's something really bland about it compared to the rest of the album. It's not as rich sounding. Prepares for flaming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
an angel Posted January 13, 2010 Share Posted January 13, 2010 I didn't like Cousins either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yeahhright Posted January 14, 2010 Share Posted January 14, 2010 Its growing on me. I reeeeeally like Giving Up The Gun and I Think UR A Contra, but I cannot stand Diplomat's Son. California English and Cousins are getting better each time I listen to them, but originally I couldn't stand them either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimmyneutron Posted January 14, 2010 Share Posted January 14, 2010 I love I Think UR a Contra and White Sky, along with Giving up the Gun. The only one i can't get into is cousins! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corkus Posted January 14, 2010 Share Posted January 14, 2010 I dunno, after a few listens, I think I liked the first album better. Not that Contra is bad, but I feel only a few key tracks (Horchata, White Sky, Holiday, and maybe one more) stand out. "Cousins" is pretty average for a single, especially compared to "A-Punk". (I think White Sky was the mystery "preview" track I didn't recognize when I saw them a month ago) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ivet Posted January 14, 2010 Share Posted January 14, 2010 Diplomat's Son is the one I'm meeehhhh... I really, really like Run :cool4: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tauiwi Posted January 14, 2010 Share Posted January 14, 2010 Are you insane? If you actually understood that song, you would be impressed. It's probably the LP's best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tauiwi Posted January 14, 2010 Share Posted January 14, 2010 Cousins is amazing. It's a story about having your cousins at parties and them being the only ones you have to talk to, that you have assured conversations... It's short and sweet, real rough ska that the band hasn't done before Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
