I can't believe there wasn't a thread on The Postal Service before.

If only they were more than a side project...they have some of the greatest pop melodies and lyrics of the past decade. It has the singer of Death Cab For Cutie if you know who that is.

Yeah i love the postal service, "The district will sleep tonight" and "Such great heights" are two of the best songs i've ever heard.

ElectricBugaloo
Too bad they might not do another album

SnakeEyes

The Postal Service always make me cry when I listen to them.


So, pretty much.
Cut my wrists
and black my eyes.

...that's Hawthorne Heights, not The Postal Service.

I ordered a CD over a week ago and I still haven't received it.

They need to buck up their ideas.

I think both bands are really good big grin

Ive never listened to Death Cab but Postal Service seems cool

Reckoning
This is about two years too late. They boomed a while back. Not to discredit them, but the novelty has worn off.

Ive listened to a lot of Postal Service/ Death Cab and I like both of them, but I prefer Death Cab. Postal Service is definitely cool though. I love the intro to "Such Great Heights".

The Postal Service is awesome, hopefully they'll release an EP or LP sometime soon.

I love the Postal Service, amazing pop music, some of the best ive ever heard, I like every song of theirs ive heard, which for me is unusual. The lyrics are some of the best ive heard also, clever, original, funny and touching.

Has anyone heard the cover of Against All Odds it works magic on the vile Phil Collins song, and makes it actually good.

I prefer TPS to both Bright Eyes and DeathCab

Cant believe they wont do another album. Lets start a petition.

What is everyones favourite Postal Service song?

Mine would be either The District Sleeps Alone Tonight, Sleeping In, the one with the lyrics, "I'll be the fire escape thats bolted to the ancient brick where you will sit and contemplate your day ( genius)"

Lord Nauj
OMG your kidding not another album there like my favorite group , Im sad know sad

Yes lets start a petition

There seriously needs to be a new album soon.

There may be, Ben Gibbard probably won't be too involved with Death Cab after they finish touring for Plans.

Solo
I was lucky enough to catch their tour this year, amazing.

papabeard

Solo

Punkyhermy

Well, yeah. Death Cab has a shit load of albums while The Postal Service has one.

Both are amazing, though.

papabeard
Death Cab are better live than on record, their recorded sound is too polished.

barbarossa
Well. I have TPS on my Comp because my Ex is a huge fan. I definitely think they are alright. I like Such Great Heights, but I have my own reasons for that. wink

Matrix_4_ever

Amazing, cheers for the info.

Smallville
It's kind of hard to describe the Postal Services type of music. I mean, they are definately great. Very talented. But, they are like an emo-electronica-ambient... something or other.

Very different, very talented, big thumbs up. Even my fiance likes them. And she is particular about what music she listens to.
