Carby seems like a cool song (especially since it has Vampire Weekend’s Ezra Koeing). All of the songs are very catching and something that fans can listen to for years to come…

My favorite tracks are “Slang Tang”, “Swing Tree”, and “I Want You Back”! I especially love Wes Miles’s vocals in “Slang”. Most of these tunes remind me of the Postal Service-Give Up album, not bad at all. I like it!

I sit here listening to Depeche Mode’s “Shake the Disease,” because I’m feeling nostalgic for something like Genevieve alluded to: a blurry, fuzzy memory from some summer a thousand years ago, when I blared music that sounds something like Discovery does on a jam box at my neighborhood’s public pool when I was 12. I play DM because I have to take a break from listening to the Discovery LP now. Because I’ve devoured this album. Gaily. I hope Discovery won’t be another Temple of the Dog. To hearken back to Genevieve’s metaphor: to me, the thought of getting only this one, delightfully superior pop album, would be like sitting in the back seat of your mom’s car with your girl, having her hold your hand, kissing her snowcone-flavored lips, and then never seeing her again. Thank you, Discovery, for providing a great soundtrack to my summer, 2009. I hope I get another

I love to hear collaborations between musicians from different bands, it shows how creative they can get. I love what Wes and Rostam do to experiment with the sound on each track. This is an album I’ll be listening to all summer.

So far, from what i’ve heard, i’m really enjoying Discovery, ther are moments where the auto tuning gets a little distracting but most times it’s balanced well against the other synth elements. They definitely have a great pop sensibility that is light without being frivolous and fun without being irrelevant.

So far I think my two favorite songs are “So Insane” for it’s playful switching of tempos while still retaining it’s crooning ballad romanticism. And “Osaka Loop Line” for it’s timid and bashful lyrics floating behind some beautiful synths that make me think that if I put on pair of big headphones and closed my eyes while i was listening to it I’d be soaring through the cosmos.

Thanks for posting such a great album!

I’m with you.

I feel like I’m the odd man out, but I grew tired of this album three songs in. Was I trying to take it too seriously? No. Did I hate it? No. I just can’t stand autotune, plain and simple.

Manners, you will be my one and only true summer love.

Someone I know recommended this album to me, and honestly, I wasn’t expecting much. However, this might be my favourite album of the year so far. Fer realz!

I REALLY love this album. The cover of “I want you back” is kind of odd, but somehow still my fave on the album after one listen. Maybe it was just the recent death that did it for me, but I really enjoy that song, and the rest of the album a lot. Pop goodness – substance free and head bopping material.

This is a great synthesis of Vampire Weekend and Ra Ra Riot. The techno feel is wonderful, and the songs really bring out a lot of the lesser heard but most desirable elements of the two bands. Orange Shirt is my favorite song, but all of them have their own unique feel and really push the boundaries of indie music. Honestly, these songs are better than anything done by the two source bands.

I was going to begin this comment by naming my favorite track off LP, but then I couldn’t pick just one. Great for summer – fun and upbeat, but still interesting. The lyrics are awesome! “google yourself when you get home”

I love the musical textures on the album. It’s definitely great summer indie pop, very joyful and care-free. I’m not too sure about the auto-tune, and I kind of find something’s missing sometimes though, but overall, it’s very enjoyable. 7.5/10.

My favorite track at the moment is “I Want You Back”.

This album is great in its minimalism. Definitely not imposing. Its light, ephemeral quality makes it great for easy summer listening. Play on. And who doesn’t love more opportunities to chill with the VW boys?

Have been enjoying for a couple weeks now and haven’t gotten tired or ready to “dispose” of it, as it were.

Fave tracks would likely be: Carby (great beat, love Ez), I Wanna Be Your Boyfriend (great airy vocals), Orange Shirt, and So Insane.

These are basically as good as ’04 Usher jams. I’ve loved every song I’ve heard from Discovery. It’s incredibly hard to pinpoint one or two songs as ‘the best’ because they’re just all so good. I especially love Carby, because Ezra Koenig has a great voice, and the percussion is dope. I also really love Osaka Loop Line for it’s very laid-back, spacey synth. Discovery is magnificient.

I’ve been listening to Osaka Loop Line on repeat ever since it took over music blogs in April. It’s hard to cram into a single, confined genre, and that’s what I love about Discovery. It spans different genres to deliver a danceable beat that’s, as you mentioned, perfect for summer. Personally, I’ve actually never been a huge fan of either VW or RRR, but this collab definitely stands out. Looking forward to the rest of the album.

It’s a nice change from Vampire Weekend. I’m not a fan of Ra Ra Riot but I like they can come together and do something completely different. It’s about time people with talent tried to write some decent pop songs. Very good summer album along with Passion Pit and the new Florence & the Machine album along with Dent May and Pains of Being Pure at Heart. Looking forward to the rest of summer.
