After about 4-5 listens my favorite songs are 'Lonely Boy,' 'Gold on the Ceiling,' 'Hell of a Season,' 'Stop Stop,' and 'Nova Baby.'
I read that the Keys went into the studio with absolutely nothing and worked with Dangermouse from that point. His influence is a lot more evident on these songs than his work on Attack on Release. 'Stop Stop' especially sounds like it could have been on the Broken Bells or a Gnarls Barkley album. That's a good thing though; I bet it will be released as the second or third single.
Also, I'll wager anyone that the intro of 'Nova Baby' will be used in a commercial by this time next year.
Anyways, this album was everything I hoped it would be. Like Brothers, I HAD to download the leak, but i'll be picking up the CD on december 6th and probably a few extras for christmas presents. Thanks Dan, Patrick, and Brian!
I respect your opinion, but I don't feel like "Dawned on Me" is cliche...it's just a really good pop song. The chorus is so catchy and the mood is so bright, it kind of reminds me of the pure happiness "I'm the Man Who Loves You" or "Heavy Metal Drummer." Honestly I can't believe they didn't pick it as the single- not that "I Might" failed to excite me for the album or isn't a great song in its own right.
