Death Cab for Cutie front Ben Gibbard went in a new direction with this side project. The album is well produced and throughly addictive ,and as with Death Cab, Give Up's musical tone, lyrics and subtle individuality are never wanting. With an average score of 80% Give Up is proven as a must listen record for 2003. Review date: 04 April 2008 Read all 1 reviews. Give us your opinion on Give Up by The Postal Service. What we say This record left our Clint feeling unmoved. Sometimes we're at the mercy of our distributors. I was convinced The Postal Service recent album was already out but Pip kept saying "No, no no our distributor would surely tell us if it was out - don't worry your pretty little head about things like that". Anyway its been out for two months and today we recieve our copies. So, as you'll know by now its a collaboration between the Dntel fella and the singer from the marvellous Death Cab For Cutie. Although I'm a fan of both bands I'm finding this difficult to judge on first listen. It is a bit like a cheesy electro-pop version of Death Cab For Cutie - plenty tuneful but maybe lacks depth and emotion. Maybe would appeal more to fans of Figurine. Hmmm... I dunno give me a couple of months before I Give Up on it.... gerrit?

About the humble LP:

The LP is the daddy of formats. 12" inches of sheer joy. The LP adds to the glory of the 12" record as it can be played at a slower speed (33rpm instead of the usual 45rpm for singles), consequently more musical joy can be had. Played on a decent deck the sound of an LP is about a million times better than any other format. They look fantastic...... a nice gatefold sleeve with a information rich inner sleeve will keep you entertained for hours even before your stylus has chance to make eye contact with it's 12" prey. An essential part of musical heritage which will never be forgotten. It still does play at a multitude of speeds but as it's recorded to be played slower they normally sound ridiculous sped up. Though double albums can make up for this slight inadequacy by ramming more tunes into your ears for your money. Utterly essential.
