Best Songs: Fire Flies
Worst Songs: The rest of them -
Apr 25, 2021Fireflies is still amazing all this time later. That song alone is worth giving this it's score.

Jun 13, 2015Ocean Eyes is a fairytale in music world. Some kind of my American Dream in all this pop-rap world. Sound of every single second of this goddamn masterpiece is almost perfect - there are no better electronic albums (well, Random Access Memories, but it is not from Earth), I just can't imagine a human that don't like it.

Oct 22, 2012It's hard to feel as happy as "Ocean Eyes" tries to make you feel when all it does is smash a hammer down on your head demanding that you feel that way.

Jul 1, 2012stunning album ..
especially the song "If My Heart Was A House" ..
this album is memorable, lovely and many more things that will hook up in the radio.
the lead single, "Fireflies" is also amazing -
Jul 10, 2011Ocean Eyes, like it's title, is just flat out beautiful. Every song has you tapping your toes and smiling. Adam Young has a very good sense of humor and a very colorful personality and you really see those qualities in this work of art.

Nov 6, 2010Owl City's second album is just as cheerful and colorful as the last. With the best song being Vanilla Twilight , and second is the reloaded version of Hello Seattle. The songs are very G-rated by far, yet they have an adult touch to it.
-
Nov 6, 2010I simply love this album and did the first time I heard it. There's something so uplifting about his music. You can't listen to it and not bob your head and smile. That is so rare in music today. Music doesn't have to address manic depression, waking up a junkie and suicide to be good. I think his lyrics are fun and original.

HaritsADec 5, 2009I think this is one of the best electronic album of the year! I love it. The songs is relaxing and very easy-listening with beating music.

JimBobNov 5, 2009This man should be should be shot for hijacking the Ferrari that is the Postal Service and turning it into cloying, pink, 1hp, Pinto. Joe Satriani successfully sued Cold Play for absconding with his work, why can't Jimmy Tamborella and Ben Gibbard sue this douche for his manhood...too late.

CoreyNov 4, 2009On their own, the G-rated, unoriginal lyrics that sound like they were written by a high school freshmen are enough to make this album something to be avoided. The fact that this may be the most derivative album of all time with a sound which approximates that of the far-superior Postal Service so closely that it should be a crime makes it an album that should be banned.

sarahsOct 12, 2009I don't care if Adam Young is good enough for critics. That's not what matters. It's how the person listening to his songs feel about his music. In my personal opinion, his music captivates me with his colorful lyrics and makes me feel like I can stay young forever and is optimistic.

GabrielTSep 15, 2009I am usually not interested in this genre of music, but i fell in love with the song cave in, and decided to give the album a try. I absolutely loved it. Owl City is a very creative, unique, and complex artist. I've been listening this album for two weeks and am addicted! I recommend for everyone who likes electronic and pop music.

MartKSep 13, 2009This is an awesome album, really original! Try Hello Seattle, Dental Care and Fireflies.

LeefnaSSep 6, 2009This isn't bad music, it's just a complete Postal Service rip-off - yet even more sterile - and I feel like a complete pansy every time I try to listen to it. I'm also sick of hearing about owls.

DannyWAug 26, 2009While there may be a cheesy love song or two in this album this does not take away from the awesomeness of such songs as "Tidal Wave" "Tip of the Iceberg", he has created a particular style and feel for his music and it really shows in those songs. Fantastic Album, not much like this one out there.

NickAug 22, 2009Some of the reworked songfs from previous albums lack the artistic instrumentals and added superfluous effects and echoes, but otherwise the collaboration with Relient K's Matt Thiessen and the development of his pop/electronic style is a lot of fun.

Awards & Rankings
-
A handful of ballads do add variety to the album's pace, but Owl City is largely a vehicle for the one song Adam Young knows how to make.
-
Young's second set of lush, Postal Service-indebted electronic pop, Ocean Eyes, is so daydream-ready, you might forgive him for admitting out loud that he'd ''rather pick flowers instead of fights.''
-
Love songs like "On the Wing"--a ballad with a plush, twinkling electro beat where the singer lies awake dreaming of his beloved-- are serious mush, like an amorous e-mail you'll regret in the morning.
