Silversun Pickups, Yay or Nay?

Silversun Pickups just recently released their extreamly anticipated album "Swoon," yesterday. The band has been getting massive amount of underground hype and people have been waiting for almost two years for this albums release since their full album debut "Carnavas," which made many top 10 "best" album of the year.

Personaly, i think this band is spitting on thousand upon thousands of bands out their and walking all over them. They are not selling out, they don't conform in making "poppy catchy" songs, and have a depth of personality and soul to their music. This band is so extreamely different, their potential truly matches their hype, the new album has to be one of the most ambitious and complex albums of the year so far, and although its very "heavy," it is well constructed and shows their maturity as a band.

What do you think of the band? If you are aware of the band, have you listened to the albums recent album?

They're pretty rad, not my taste TBH though.

I think they're alright. Love the new album so far from what I've heard that is.Yagr_Zero

I really like Carnavas but haven't downloaded thier new one yet, I need to.

Well if i recommend a few tunes, "Theres no secret this year" "The Royal We" are both fantastic songs. Panic Switch is also almost a given.mexicangordo

Haven't heard any of their material, though I've heard they have been influenced by the Smashing Pumpkins a lot.>.>

they get a yay from me.

From the new album I personally like the tracks "It's nice to know you work alone" and "surrounded" bestPuddinPant

I am listening to the album now, and so far it has failed to disappoint.

Yay! good band

Yeah, it definitely sounds a lot different then the other songs on the album but I thought it was a lot catchiery then the rest. It also has somewhat of a jazz(?) feeling to it which I like.PuddinPant

Yay for all of their influences. Like Smashing Pumpkins sound minus the ego and the whine. I like a lot.majoras_wrath

They're good, i like them.

Definitely "Yay"

Carnavas was excellent. Haven't heard the new one yet, but I'm looking forward to it.

I guess technically you're right though...he is pretty much the band.

never heard of them

Listened to all their songs on their myspace, they are pretty good. They aren't a band complex enough for me to give their stuff multiple listens to finally "Get it" or a band where they just click with me. So I don't think I would purchase their albums, but they are listenable to. Just a question, their singer is a guy right? Because normally I'm a big fan of higher vocals, but I don't like the vocals too much...

*Thumbs up*

I'm kind of on the fence with SSP. I mean, I like some of the songs from Carnavas but I don't know. I suppose I haven't listened to Pikul or Swoon though (just bought Swoon on impulse from lala.com since it's on sale for $3.99!), so I can't give a definitive answer.
