For the Nada Surf fans out there, I know I just spent the last hour or so listening to their entire new album (Feb. 5 official release date) on their MySpace and couldn't be more excited to actually be able to listen to it in the car, in my room...during class...during sleep...
I've met with a couple folks who were disappointed with The Weight is a Gift, saying it had fallen into the land of meaningless pop (which I disagree with), but I can safely say that I think that Nada Surf has met in the happy place of being able to have fun and depth at the same time, both lyrically and instrumentally. Personally I've been most drawn to Beautiful Beat and Ice on the Wing, though this whole album is one great song after another. If Lucky is the standard for the year, 2008 is looking like a thoroughly enjoyable musical season.
