Advantages: experimental pop

Disadvantages: some tracks a bit slow to get going

I cant believe that the last reviewer only gave this 3 stars. I think it's one of the most rewarding and inventive albums of the century so far.

The beats on this album can get so messed up that you think your cd's broken. This is due to DNTEL's experimental rhythms and digital distortions.

Ben Gibbard's lyrics are up there with the best, as fans of death cab for cutie will already know, although i far prefer the postal service album to anything death cab for cutie have produced.

And holding it together are some beautiful melodies and vocals.

I would heavily recommend this album to fans of the flaming lips, belle and sebastian and the like - i think it exceeds any of the work either of these bands have done.

The opening track on the album is a slow burner that gradually builds up to a stomping dance beat. It probably isn't the best track to start on, but it really grows on you

Summary: check out such great heights on youtube
