I think this album/band is deserving of its own thread apart from The National.
I am absolutely obsessed with No Time to Crank the Sun at the moment, and really enjoying the album as a whole.

Re: EL VY -- Return to the Moon
I like how light it sounds musically compared to The National, but I'm really enjoying how Matt sounds on this record quite a bit. Trouble Will Find Me grew on me, but initially I came away with a major sense of sameness with a lot of the songs in the middle of the album. This feels like a nice change up from that. Paul is Alive and Crank the Sun are standouts for me so far.

Re: EL VY -- Return to the Moon
Matt Berninger is a genius.
"I'm the Man to Be" is an awesome song.
I'm really loving this album.

He gets on my nerves the way he repeats annoying lyrics (here and in The National), but over all I like it.

Did you ever give the six hour recording of Sorrow a chance? I'd love to see you live tweet that.BurtReynolds wrote:He gets on my nerves sometimes the way he repeats annoying lyrics (here and in The National)

Re: EL VY -- Return to the Moon
Obviously I was wrong about this being thread-worthy, but No Time To Crank the Sun is easily one of my favorite songs this year.

That's awesome. Do you know if they're throwing in a few National songs to the set or is it just a short show?PHATJ wrote:It should be thread worthy! I am really enjoying this album.

The only set I have seen was short. They play the whole album and one cover. Short and sweet.4/5 wrote:That's awesome.
