iTunes Review
If the nineties revival has to happen, let it begin here. This L.A.-based act is smart enough to know where to steal and they arrive armed with huge melodic hooks. Plus, they know better than to wear smelly flannels. Imagine a Blink 182 who'd spent their wild and restless youth copying Swervedriver, Lush and My Bloody Valentine rather than the Descendents, Adolescents and Agent Orange. (That's meant as an utter compliment, by the way.) The Silversun Pickups' sense of dynamics is straight from the grunge era, but the songs themselves are strung together in a more contemporary way, often eschewing typical verse-chorus-verse structures. Their sound is tuneful and sweet while detuned and barbed. Somehow, they manage to be a genuinely exciting alternative rock band while sounding an awful lot like the Smashing Pumpkins. And that has to count for something, right?

Waste
by Ownage in the fleshThis isn't really a good album. Aside from Well thought out Twinkles and Lazy eye, this is not even that much of an album. Maybe it is just because I do not like the SSPU
Must buy, please read.
by Kaiidera869I started off only knowing two of their songs, Lazy Eye (from Rockband I'm ashamed to admit), and Panic Switch (off the radio, it's constantly on the radio). But I loved the song Lazy Eye so much when I went to the CD store I bought their only CD in stock, Swoon. Swoon's pretty good, though I only had the chance to listen to a few songs.
Yesterday I was reading the reviews of Carnavas and since so many were positive, and I loved the song Lazy Eye so much, I took a risk and spent my last $10 on my account and bought it.
It's amazaing.
Very much so worth the buy. The songs flow together, they're catchy but different. The drummer is amazing, the guitars aren't repetive with great riffs, and his voice is just so unusual it grabs your attention and makes you listen (or makes you think it's a women, but it's great).
tl;dr version : Worth buying. Very much worth buying.
Great Fresh Sound
by Snow Surfer 21the voice is killer as are the instrumentals. Rusted Wheel is great and Lazy Eyes is one of the best alternative songs ever. get it listen to it, it will be more and more involving and fun.
