I love how the exploding sponge-like things in the video are those capsules you put in water and they turn into animals and such. It's like, water+dollar store toys=music video.
These guys have so much talent and I love their style its that feel good music that seriously we lack in our music culture today but as you all know if you're not rapping about how much money you have or how many ho's you've slept with or god forbid your damn shoes its not worth paying attention to.
there is definitely some serious talent with these guys they deserve much more recognition than they get. They have several other good songs as well as this one.
@jermainekiel several good songs is an understatement, man. these guys have never put out an album that was anything less than outstanding. hell, i've never heard a song of theirs' that wasn't incredibly good.
Seriously one of my favorite bands their new album just made me love them even more than I normally do and I just love how unique and original their music is!
They played this song live at Sonic Boom Record store in Captiol Hill Seattle to kick off National Record Day, and I had the privilege of going. They played it so well, I'm almost tempted to say it was better than the recorded version! Was anyone else at that show? :))
pleas don't make a comparison between this and Editors...it's much more like Dismemberment Plan or Postal Service or even this German band called Fotos.
The Postal Service? Minus the Bear is no wear near that soft and annoying. Listen to Planet of Ice. There's no comparison to be made to those Death Cab Wanna-be's.
ithere's defintely an element of death cab or postal service, city and colour in there. i love planet of ice...i'm not talking about the album or Minus the Bear as a band...just this song.
It just gets better with all of your ignorant comparisons. This sounds nothing like anything C&C has ever done. I feel like a sap having the same musical interests as 75% of the folks that posted comments on this video.
@Ubyte64 Why would you think that The Postal Service is a "Death Cab Wanna-be" group? Is it because the singer sounds the same? Well that because it is the same guy you dummy!
So if they become mainstream, then you wouldn't like them? I don't think your "love" for them is that strong then. You should be happy if they went mainstream because their music that you "love" would be experienced by more people so that they too can "love it."
IKILLGIANTS, oh mai gash!, someone else who sees it like i do. yep, if you're worrying about who will end up listening to your favorite band[s], then you're not listening to them solely for their music...
so your saying if they go mainstream by doing what they are doing and keep doing it they wont be musical gods anymore? if they go big embrace them.. be happy to know you loved them before they got big...
what's wrong with mtb going to broader audiences, if you're worried about that then you're really not listening to them just for music alone are ya? if they don't end up compromising their music [as in they don't change their sound or how the tracks come out like usual] it makes no difference to me who can listen to them and who can't...
@nkmcquain imma have to say i disagree with the whole "selling out" view on it... just because a band is popular, doesnt mean its worse then when it wasnt.....
@Wejrdfish1 yes it does. when a band decides to change its style just to get popular, they get worse. Bloc party is good example. silent alarm = best album ever and intimacy = worst album ever.
@dustwind955813 .. that is a horrible idea.. theyre already fucking great enough... Rockband would ruin that for them.... and I really cant believe you "like" in typed speech
So this song is basically about a man being in a beautiful place, so beautiful that he wants his girlfriend to experience it too, though she's far away. So he tries to ''put it into tune and move it to her?''
Lucky bastard, I wish I had enough to kush to smoke it seven tmes a day. Then again, I wish I had kush period... Fuck it, I wish I had weed period. Anyway, I hope you get to keep your kush-consuming up.
Pachuca is also a name for a lifestyle in Mexico it has a similar meaning to mobster so if you dress in a pachuca style you were mafia style clothing maybe this will help
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
this band isn't math rock, it's just a band capitalizing on a sound that's become "fashionable", which is an awful word to describe any kind of music as it implies the music is of some kind of trend. This really isn't very good, and it sounds like all of their other songs, same beat, same crappy lyrics, same melodies, you could condense all of this into a 30 second clip.
ill admit that alot of the songs they make eventually run together, but they're not going with this sound because it's "fashionable" or the "cool thing". i highly doubt this sound has been "in style" for 6 or 7 years. just my opinion though so believe what you want.
And it is a bit of math rock since they do have some time changes in songs.
dude your a fucking hater man minus is the shit, dont hate cus they are doing something positive and good with theyre lives and making a good living while you prolly sit at home on your moms computer being dickmouth and envying every one elses lives whos seem to have more value than yours, i love seattle i live in this beautiful city, and i love minus the bear, all in all im just trying to say maybe you should be more open minded and think about the positive
I saw them live at the time I just liked them. I only went because I got a free enterance but There whole set blew me away this song live is the best!

Then everyone would listen to them, and make them cliche over time. I don't want Minus The Bear to be ruined by a big population of people.
Plus, I love them because they are musically gods. Not because they appear on a game a play. Get what I'm saying?
I don't like mainstream music that much, so I guess I just don't want MTB to eventually become mainstream.
