The debut album by The Dodos, Beware of the Maniacs is a very soft record.  In other words, this record reminds me a lot of Visiter, with the way the drums and guitar playing are introduced.  I'm sure it's difficult for artists to release albums without having the same exact sound as the previous record or even making a record totally not like something they would do.  You have to respect being a musician and trying to figure out, to keep the masses entertained or even what you might think is a breakthrough in the recording/writing process.  Trades & Tariffs is such an amazing song.  Maybe it's the fact that I just love Meric's voice.  But to generalize this album more, I really liked listening to this record and thanks, again, to my wonderful roommate who I believe introduced me to The Dodos, I pretty much have enjoyed all the music they put out.

Enjoy!

The second album by The Dodos, Visiter is a fantastic record.  Of course that goes without saying that they are a group of exceptional musicians who make amazing music.  I saw them last year, here in Austin, and I have to say I was very impressed with their live performance.  One of my favorite songs on this record is Undeclared, I guess because I'm a hopeless romantic that like all types of sappy songs.  I'm going to make this short because THURSDAY NIGHT FOOTBALL.  Sorry, I absolutely love music and all, but I only have the NFL 4 months out of the year, not counting the playoffs.

Enjoy!
