Zack: I absolutely adore TV on the Radio. They have such a unique and distinctive sound that incorporates all sorts of genres and instruments. I first started listening to them when Return to Cookie Mountain came out in 2006, 2 years after DYBTB. This is my first time listening to this album but I think it'll soon have as many listens as RTCM, which I've listened to 3 or 4 times this week alone. DYBTB is a perfect example of TV on the Radio's sound, meaning that it's somewhat difficult to pinpoint exactly what their sound is. Some songs lean more towards a jazz, others are more experimental rock, and there's even a little a cappella in there. This album is just a lot of fun and very creative and definitely has a little something for everyone.
Favorite Tracks: Wear You Out, Staring at the Sun, Don't Love You
Emily: I really like that TV on the Radio can take elements from a bunch of very different genres, throw them all onto one album, and still make it sound cohesive. It flows nicely from songs that lean a little more rock at the beginning, to 2 a cappella tracks mixed into the middle, and reconvening with an experimental rock sound at the end. The a cappella songs in particular were a pleasant surprise. The repetition in Ambulance creates an eerie ambiance, and the mix of rock with the a cappella sound was unique and very effective. I definitely will be exploring some more TV on the Radio after this fine introduction.
Favorite Tracks: Poppy, Ambulance, Dreams
