ECHOES by The Rapture

AMG gave this 3 stars and no review

As far as not seeking out a turntable, it's just not in the cards at the moment. My wife and I live in a small two bedroom apartment in Manhattan and are expecting (due in April). We just don't have the space at present. Someday, maybe. I cannot wait to one day re-discover my record collection, but that'll have to wait. Until such time, my records are split between a storage space on Varrick street and my Mom's basement.

N don't make my head any bigger!

stevem, I failed to get my ticket for tomorrow night. I mention this cause I was hoping to catch up with you again, plus my Australian friend just sent me a smug e-mail over my lack of sortedness and now I'm annoyed.

meanwhile, i keep getting this absurd urge to mix 'sisters saviour' into rod stewart's 'do ya think i'm sexy'

xp because it is great! I like the remixes too!

the ballad at the end always feels a bit tacked-on to me, it's such a comedown. cheer up, duders!

I haven't listened to this in probably three years, but man it holds up a lot better than I thought it would. "Heaven" is fucking fantastic.

"house of jealous lovers" definitely still bangs

recently been wondering where the fuck these dudes are at?

Hell, I'm a fan of the second album.

yeah the second album is awesome

they're working on a third album but mattie safer quit the band

Pieces of the People We Love was INSANELY underrated. Did they do anything after that?

Wait, Echoes wasn't their debut, right? Didn't they do a couple indie records before that?

sorry -- I meant the THIRD album.

Surprised to see that, even though Echoes was hyped like crazy, they've never once made the singles charts here in the U.S., not even "House of Jealous Lovers."

you're surprised? really?

mattie safer quit the band

they did a one-off track with timbaland called "no sex for ben"

new album was recorded with philippe zdar, just doesn't have a home yet

mattie's cartoon "mattie" grill in the WAYUH video = k-classic

they've never once made the singles charts here in the U.S.

"WAYUH (people don't dance no more)" should have hit #1 :(

i'm in that video... somewhere

WAYUH is so classic

Well I'd think getting named album of the year by Pitchfork would've shifted some units.

But now I look at LCD Soundsystem's chart action, which looks pretty much exactly the same, so I guess Pitchfork-friendly indie rock is not ripe for underground hits.

arrgh!xxxx-post

snrub, what year do you live in?

"that 2004 show"

Well ever since the whole "indie's gone mainstream! The blogosphere is where it's at!" and "The shins will change your life!" kinda thing, I guess I always thought these bands were a little bit more popular than they really are.

dude tv on the radio hardly makes any soundscan numbers

these bands make all their money on touring

the whole "indie's gone mainstream!" thing is happening more on the albums charts than the singles and more in the past few years than back when the Ratpure were putting out albums

The blogosphere is where it's at!

Not sure this has been true in years.

If ever, really.

Either way, best of luck to Tapes 'n Tapes.

haha

loooooool

Clap Your Hands Say I Like Tapes 'n' Tapes!!

Oh wait.

AND WHEN YOU RUSH SOMETHING SOMETHING HARVARD SQUARE Y'ALL

Their song, "Whoo! Alright, Yeah…Uh Huh" is the official anthem for Red Bull New York of Major League Soccer.

Still a great album.

Yes.
