James Murphy, most average looking guy with the most average sounding name, just makes awesome music. Gotta respect people who put the music first instead of the image. Guy just cuts his hair and wears a nice shirt like he's headed for a day at the office... very plain and businesslike.
The first part makes the song imo. I don't understand how some people can only like after 3:00. Sure that's when you go wow, but there's something nice about the subtle beat before that. It's hard for me to not appreciate the whole song.
@FinalSephiroth For me, the build up makes that drop work. You just don't drop into that. And the best part of the first two minutes are the lyrics, really. Makes me laugh every time. "Talking like a jerk, 'cept you are an actual jerk and living proof... sometimes friends are mean." Classic stuff. FUCK THE HATERS. THIS SONG IS PERFECTION.
people just don't want to wait for a songs to kick in, like most things it's a need for instant gratification when the songs where you have to wait a little are normally the most gratifying. then when you listen to the 3 minute intro again it turns into almost anticipation and you just enjoy the song on such a deeper level
ohhhh shit i read some comments and was waiting for the pick up in the song thinking imma b a critic but DAMN IM STILL JAMMING TO IT................AWESOME!!!!!!!!!
I had the pleasure of discovering this song through an adorable cutoff wearing, Whole Foods loving, smirk giving, butterflies-in-my-tummmmy causing sophomore in my Study Hall.
Best 9 minutes ever. That's what I gave thanks to on Thursday.
Jesus christ... I liked this song before it picked up. But now! this is insane. beautiful shit. definitely on my list of fav albums of 2010. (so far the list is This Is Happening by LCD Soundsystem, Contra by Vampire Weekend, and Congratulations by MGMT)
I told my friend to listen to this song...he listened for 2 minutes and said..."I don't like it..." I said.."Jussst wait..." I left the room...came back, and he was like "I love it! I like the beat!!" I KNEW he would like this song! NO MATTER WHAT! He ended up dancing to it and listening 19 times.
@je14100 the lyrics are so fun, and I like how it starts out slow. I can see how someone just sitting down and hearing it for the first time wouldn't really know exactly what to think. It's worth the wait, and then you find you really DO like the first part lol.
If you left before 3:08, then you don't deserve what comes after 3:08.
