Carnavas

by: Silversun Pickups

Release Date July 25, 2006
Been desperately shopping around for new music for quite a while, since I got a new car, and needed to update the music I housed in there. This album is perfect. Heard them on Pandora Radio as a recommendation for people who like Placebo and the Smashing Pumpkins. And so it is. Bought it immediately as my first Amazon digital download, because I couldn't wait to run out to the store and buy the physical copy. So now all I need to do is buy a blank cd to burn it on, and bring it along with me on all my drives. Hurrah for finding great new music.

Pikul

by: Silversun Pickups

Release Date July 26, 2005
I'm sorry, I love this band but this album ain't the greatest. Only 6 tracks, 7 if you count the incredibly annoying track at the end. They give you 1-6 and then 13 blank tracks and then add a track at 20. I HATE it when bands do this. Do you really think that by making your album LESS LISTENABLE you'll be attracting fans? Its the same way with Carnavas in that they add 2 minutes of dissonant noise to the end of what is probably the best track on the album. I guess THAT one's not going in my ipod. It's just so juvenile and I have to call bands out on it. And there are MANY bands that still do this and need to be told NO!

Anyway, if you love Carnavas you'll probably hate this album. The melodic sound they find later just ... Read More:

Well Thought out Twinkles

by: Silversun Pickups

Release Date July 23, 2007
first off let me say that "well thought out twinkles " is such an amazing song very worthy of being a single on its own. The second song on here is " common reactor" also from the same album but its a live version. if your a hardcore fan of this band ( like i am ) its nice to have this.

Lazy Eye

by: Silversun Pickups

Release Date September 24, 2007
The song "lazy eye" ( not to be confused with the Goo Gooo Dolls song bearing the same name) is probably the song that is played on the radio by these guys, not there best song but still enjoyable to listen to. The second song " future foe scenarios" is an in-store recording with the full band but the guitar defenitly is an acoustic. This is worth it if your a huge fan.

Carnavas

Release Date July 25, 2006
The Silversun Pickups are definitely classic-grunge revivalists -- much of the time, they sound like gauze-wrapped version of a very solid grunge band. With those nice grimy, twisty riffs, "Carnavas" is a nice, rockin' little debut album with some pleasant creative moments.

It opens with the buzzing basslines and choral voices of "Melatonin," buzzing and murmuring through a moderately epic melody. "She ran into the wall/so sweet and unknown/a worn comatose," Brian Aubert croons in a high, mellow voice that sounds pleasantly Billy Corganish.

But things get harder with the sizzling smash-it-down quality of "Well Thought Out Twinkies," blasting thunderbass over a bed of solid drums. From there, they dabble in other grungey ... Read More:
