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.

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.
