Give up

"Even in 2013, when those perfectly aligned freckles have faded, it's not hard to hear why Give Up would be a hit. The album's highs represent a perfect marriage between Tamborello's synths, which sound like the first rays of dawn hitting a Mister Bulky, and Gibbard's gee-whiz lyrics, which possess a mussed-hair whimsy".

"Sub Pop and the Postal Service did a nice job of assembling the material for the second disc. The assortment of remixes avoids giving us endless takes of the same tracks. Die-hards will be happy to have all of the material in one place. Although in 2013, it's not a stretch to assume that die-hards already have much of this stuff in one place: their computers and portable music players. Still, for those who don't, the seven obscure/new tracks on disc two are definitely worth having".
