Let me preface this by saying, I'm a huge Ben Gibbard fan and this album delights me fiercely. The album starts out with District Sleeps Alone, which is very catchy. The second Track, Such Great Heights, a cover of Iron and Wine is simply fantastic. The melodic hooks inspire. Nothing Better features Jenny Lewis from Rilo Kiley and her sweet, sultry voice is a delicious match to Ben Gibbard's vocals. This song will have you tapping your fingers to the lyrical beat.The middle of the album is a bit boring but it gets better towards the end. Sleeping In and Natural Anthem are great songs. If you savor catchy synth pop and want to hark back to the 80's with a new millenium feel, then this is the album you've been searching for. This music sounds good really loud too, I have an amp in my trunk and the bass on District Sleeps Alone rocks my rearview mirror which is delightful.
