I agree with derek. I totally didn't like this band. Then I bought their album after getting a song I forget stuck in my head. Damned if I didn't enjoy their flow.

Even if I hadn't purchased 'Plans' I would love this track. I couldn't let the singers sort of annoying poppy voice bring down the vibe of this track. I will now have to buy their next album too. THANKS STEREOGUM! ;)

Sincerely,

on New Death Cab For Cutie Video - "I Will Possess Your Heart" at April 16, 2008 5:59 PM
Score = -1

I was very surprised by my appreciation of Wolf Parade. They seemed to lean too close to the norms of mainstream music to me at first. I then heard/watched the video for "I'm Not In Love With the Modern World" and was touched so that I bought their last album even with my misgivings. I was pleasantly surprised that I actually liked their unique take on a genre that I felt had been done to death.

After a time I noticed on Last.FM that I had listened to Wolf Parade enough to raise them to a very high spot on my musician chart. I had some fear of my own inability to decide what genres I liked and disliked. But I knew that this band had what it takes to make music I love, so I just soldiered on listening to 'Apologies...' many time over before finally letting it fall from my current playlist.

This new track reestablishes my interest in the band. I hope that the new album hits me like the last one has, in the heart...

Sincerely,

It looks more like paper bags stacked then the image is turned sideways. But yeah, I see what you're saying. ;)
