Junior Boys - So This Is Goodbye

It leaked quite a while ago but I just listened to it yesterday and surprinsingly, I like this a lot. I'm not usually fond of electro-pop so I didn't have high hopes but this is great pop and it's really catchy. It sometimes reminds me of Isolée with their guitar sounds. You might want to give this a try.

The first album is incredible, I saw them open for Mouse on Mars, one of the dreamiest live performances I've ever seen, there were about 8 people at the venue so we all stood at the front and afterwards I got to talk to them, really cool dudes

yeah, just heard this today actually. quite liked a few tracks off of last exit. this one's really good too, even better perhaps. some cool remixes off this album too - alex smoke, morgan geist...

I should take a listen, I also saw that with Mouse on Mars and was pleasantly surprised (Ratatat was also good).

Yep, just saw that today. Grain of salt and all, but still, high enough rating on Pitchfork is usually work checking out.

God I love this record.

If I had to do a 2006 top albums, it would be first.

I prefer it to Last Exit actually.

I actually came to visit WATMM to talk about how badass this album is. Good work, boys.

Top 3 album of the year for me , i dj out 4 tracks off this this mofo

yah really good record, no doubt. better than "last exit" imo.

i saw this in the store today and wanted to pick it up, ill take a listen and see. sounds good

Just buy it man, you won't be disappointed.

I've been playing this and Her Space Holiday's The Past Presents the Future pretty much non-stop lately...smiles aplenty.

i didnt like the last album but for some reason i thoughti must have been wrng so i got in the morning and its fine but not for me. i can appreciate it but i don't want to listen to it.

i think i like electropop cause i like electro, always makes me smile.

and this is great.

i didn't like last exit at all, but the reviews have all been awfully good on this one ...

its good. why does it say September 11.

It hit the stores before because of the leak I guess. (maybe not...)

Junior Boys themselves were selling their CD 2 weeks ago in Montreal.

Warpbot newsletter aslo says September 11.

Just listened to this for the first time and it's really good! I found it hard to believe that this would be better than Last Exit, but I think it may be. The melodies seem to be stronger throughout and every track is good.

it's good but it isn't that good

my thoughts exactly. didn't see what all the fuss was about last time around, but i would still like to look into this one.

i did indeed look into it ... and i dunno, it's somewhat better than last exit, but it still sounds like postal-service-esque-indie-twee crap with occasional glimmers of beauty

yeah.. the electro beats and melodies are good though

i also like dtnel's beats/melodies, in postal service tracks, but it's ben gibbard that's the problem

I actually hate this record, and thought they were boring as hell live. Mouse On Mars and Ratatat blew them away. "Birthday" off the first album is a good track though.
