The Dodos- God

[JazminAntonietti]

I think Beware of the Maniacs is better.

[ChadOnTheNet]

@JazminAntonietti Beware of the maniacs is total classic Dodos (if you can call it that), heavy acoustic and percussion to the max, very meticulous sounding, an album without restraint. This album is def. more folky and different (addition of banjo, brass instruments), but the songs vary in style more, The Dodos maintaining their sound while changing and expanding greatly. While I enjoyed No Color a fair bit, I dont know if anything will top the masterpiece of Visiter! Sorry had to get that out.

[JazminAntonietti]

@ChadOnTheNet lol. it's fine, I don't know, I like the music on this album, for some songs, but I liked every single song from Beware of the Maniacs. The first song i ever heard by The Dodos was "Fools" and It's an amazing song, i love everything about it. I just feel like apart from fools and some other songs that i liked, it didn't match up to Beware of the Maniacs. All in All, I think the Dodos are a great band, and I hope to hear a lot more from them.

[RoboTr0ll]

@ChadOnTheNet I completely agree. Visiter is one of the best albums I've ever listened to ever.

21st century people standing outside a church

[moothyknight]

I love the passive aggressive sarcasm in the lyrics IE it's making fun of the concept of God.

[HaDagdegan]

stop complaining about other music.. who says the dodos are better than lady gaga and etc... they are better in my opinion and i guess yours too but its just a metter of opinion

[arami035]

is that a chuckle or a weeping exhalation at the end?

[fuckyeah49]

I LOVE MUSIC! LIL WAYNE BLINK 182 SLIGHTLY STOOPID AS ALONG AS ITS NOT DUBSTEP OR COUNTRY IM GOOD

[RaqifHart]

@fuckyeah49 I WOBBWOBBWOBB DUBSTEP<3

[rockenlizabeth]

to all those out their who diss every other band besides what they feel is " good music" stop. Who are you to judge what is good music and what is bad music? music is suppose to unite people, to express love, joy hurt, pain but not to separate people.

[raptormajor10]

Can someone post the full lyrics please?

[HaDagdegan]

everyone should listen to the music he likes as long as he really likes it..

[Sweeneycansing]

discovered The Dodos today, LOVE IT

[7shivaa]

You give us strength and make us fight

I know, I know, we're supposed to kill

You pit us up on different sides

I know, I know, that's just your will

I wonder if you'll wait until

Oh no, oh no, this place will explode

[natalala100]

my goal is to longboard over the whole earth ps. that would be hectic on the great wall of china

[robertman369]

Hi, I like the dodos because I'm a Hipster. I also don't like anything on the radio. Am I cool yet?

[QwertyBoarder777]

@robertman369 maybe we like the dodos because they are fucking amazing, and have a sound similar to zepplin, now go be ignorant somewhere else and listen to some lady gaga or some bruno mars

[robertman369]

@QwertyBoarder777 haha i hate gaga and mars. The dodo's are amazing btw. I was simply stating that many people who like the dodo's are hipsters. Calm your internet rage.

[uclakallman]

the lyrics to this song are incred

[reynaxrawr]

they remind me of pinkback n.n

love them so much :D

[smourtaza]

I really really like this.

[detroitbball26]

am I the only ones that liked the Dodos before the long boarders liked it?

[evanimonlydancing]

i wonder this so often: "tell me how you wear that crown of right", as a religious skeptic i love the lyrics

[gianini10]

fish homophobes, why do you hate kanye just because he's a gay fish?

[shaqluva123]

@swedeboy11 Well I love The Dodos. End of conversation! :)

[BlasphemousRumors101]

I find it funny that there are so many comments mentioning how other singers suck,actually it seems more like it's being done because it's the "cool" thing to do.Can't people just comment on how amazing the dodos are without having to bash other people without cause, I mean it's kind of out of no where too...You're listening to the dodos so why would anyone bring up how much they think kanye west, gaga, and whoever else sucks?I suppose I'll get loads of people disagreeing...oh well.

[dvsc4000]

@BlasphemousRumors101 cause most popular music these days does suck.. all the pop and rap shit.. seriously its terrible..

[BlasphemousRumors101]

@dvsc4000 I get that some people think that, but everyone has their own opinion.The people who bash popular music are also the ones who are the first to bitch when someone rips on a band or singer who's less popular.I'm just simply saying that I think there should be more comments about how brilliant the dodos are and less that are bashing other singers simply because they aren't that particular persons cup of tea.

[dvsc4000]

@BlasphemousRumors101 well yeah this band is amazing and they put their mind into it.. i dunno whatever cool

[Pyloff]

Saw these guys at lolly last year. VIP Tix this year?

[vvfdsw]

Kanye West is a fucking homo that gets but raped at night

[mintsnake]

@Anestheticfun & @KicksNGigglez --Thanks, you guys. Checked out some of these bands, and pretty spot on! :)

[hawaiianboi1356]

i have no problem with kanye west but thats not the same case for lady gaga. the dodos are an amazing band, the lyrics, the sound, the voice and if you appreciate good music then you would realize that. check out fleet foxes, grizzly bear, anthony green all very good bands :)

[FEZZARONNI]

cmon, let it be,,,,,,, but yeah fuck kanyee fag, and lady gagger,,,, dodos i cant wait for you to play in iowa city

[mintsnake]

If I like the Dodos, what other bands would you guys recommend for me?

[Anestheticfun]

@mintsnake check out the fling, local natives, the poison tree, mountain goats. hope that helps!

[KickzNGigglez]

@mintsnake Local Natives, Dog and Panther, Fleet Foxes, Morning Benders etc man!

[btaylorbcp]

All of you hating on Kanye is sooooo annoying. It is so mainstream oh my god. Who cares if people know about them or not. It is all opinion. I like The Dodos, Kanye West, and Claude Debussy.

Who Cares!

[hicadoodle69]

@btaylorbcp hes illuminati

[btaylorbcp]

All of you hating on Kanye is sooooo annoying. It is so mainstream oh my god. Who cares if people know about them or not. It is all opinion. I like The Dodos, Kanye West, and Claude Debussy.

[YoureTerribl]

Some guy names John Scott reviewed this album in Under the Radar i think 3 years ago, and gave it a great review so i impulsively bought and have been in love ever since.

[jdmhondapower0831]

noooo wtf people.

fuck kanye n all that mainstream bullshit. ugh *shivers*

makes me sick.

[InfectedEnergyz]

@jdmhondapower0831 lol mainstream? yes. be a lil open minded. music is music and people will like any rythem that suits them if lady gaga is that then so be it :D what ever drives your endorphins/emotions and imagination. dodos just happens to be mine ;)

[FretfulRogueHD]

@InfectedEnergyz Oh hay there. I expected to see you in here

[InfectedEnergyz]

@FretfulRogueHD lol XD im happy i got u into the dodo's then we can randomly comment on the same video <3

[runnslow]

Oh God, I love the Dodos

[WeAreOffHanded]

finally decided to listen to a song by them other than The Season, what a good choice

[2000beefcake]

i can play this song! :D but i need to learn to sing it at the same time xD

[xalexander]

Some Bitch - "That band sucks."

Me - "Oh really now, what do you listen to."

The Same Bitch -"Lady Gaga, Kanya West, etc....."

Me -"Well your a fucking idiot and should go listen to all of Vister, then come back and try to tell me the Dodos suck, and why all those artist's music meaningless." *gets up and leaves*

[swedeboy11]

@xalexander Well I love the Dodos and Kanye West.

[xalexander]

@swedeboy11 college dropout through graduation are great, but his new stuff is empty autotune

[theosums1997]

@swedeboy11 and ur a nob

[wigglyworm95]

@swedeboy11 i betcha kanye wont put you to sleep the way these guys can. i love this stuff.

[hicadoodle69]

@swedeboy11 kanyeblows

[Th4rdEye]

@swedeboy11  What a jerk xDxDxD

[DelScorcho11]

@swedeboy11 As do I, his lyrics are anything but meaningless.

[TurdFerguson98]

@swedeboy11 Me too. I actually thought My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy was a great album.

[funtimeadventures]

@swedeboy11 But i bet you don't like Kanya west

[Doctahstringz]

@xalexander hey hey hey... this is no place to vent out your anger.. its the exact opposite

[ghost201269]

@xalexander Those artist can't really play any instruments, they just sing. lol

[SkateD0G]

@xalexander Dont get mad because they dont share the same taste in music. I love the Dodos but I love a little Kanye too. They're all great artists

[CamberLongboards]

@xalexander I love you 

[masonrox2547]

@xalexander calm down

[eneumann7755]

@xalexander So true

[mrkosilathi]

[RoboTr0ll]

[isabona11]

me being one of them.

[Aircadtes]

@venturaproductions *Original Skateboards

[iwillbuyyouanewlife]

I love the tune and I wanted to like the song, but the lyrics are about an absent God. How can I like it now?

[lachlanSB]

"The reason its misspelled is because its from a drawing this kid gave us. We played a show for a bunch of kids in South Central L.A.—Dorsey High. A friends sister [Barbara Lempel] is a special-ed teacher there, so we went down there to her class and we played for the kids and it was super fun. Then it came to the kids asking us questions and then one of the kids came up to us and he gave us a drawing with that written on it. The drawing is the cover actually of the album,

[midocrimsonfate]

Thats weird I heard them from a skatevideo lol andeveryone else longboard O_o

[Anticfairy]

Great music. :)

[mduck92]

how long, how long, before they sing?...<3

[markitocoll]

The dodos does great music for longboarding :)

[Triestebird]

Patient wings.

[RDBrilliance]

Okay, we get that people got this from some 'longboarding' video. But don't take away the fact that this band are great with or without some video, thanks. :)

[OGARAINTDEAD]

Bought the album randomly without ever hearing them before and i'm actually in love. I'm so glad I had money to burn that day :')

[WereYouShpongled]

haha, that's how i found the dodos. very good video

[oscarsi]

whats the meaning of the lyrics?

[DelMonteOnSteroids]

who cares

[oscarsi]

obviously i do

[hopelinde]

I love the lyrics! I think they're kind of saying ...everytime something bad happens people start to question they're beliefs. You know? Like someone close to you dies or you lose your house, it's like, "thanks, God! you screwed me over!" ...I don't really know. that's just the interpretation I got from it.

[nooza555]

whatever you want them to be :)

[XxISAKxSAYSxBLAHxX]

[desjaraah]

@chaoshellbound

probably 80% of the people here know the dodos from "go longboard 2009"

[MysticalChicken]

@desjaraah I'm one of the 20% who didn't, I don't even know what longboard is. I first heard them this past Friday when they opened up for the New Pornographers, and I liked them pretty much instantly. Bought "Time To Die" at the merch table there and will probably pick this one up too.

[fuzzyboy501]
