I'm an avid amazon browser. In fact I spend probably a little too much time previewing music and books when I should be working, but that's another story. I owe amazon for my discoveries of such amazing artists as Ray LaMontagne and The Black Keys, and now I must add Young the Giant to that list. I usually don't take the time to write a review for anything, as it takes some kind of miraculous occurence to compel me to shell out the 200 words or so. This band is truely amazing. I don't use that word lightly. I love everything about this album. It's so original, intricate, polished. To say it is better than 99% of today's music is an understatement. These guys really have something different. I'm really hoping that this is only the beginning for them, because talent like this deserves recognition. Don't fall into the "My Body" trap and just buy the mp3. That isn't even the best song on the album, albeit it is a good one. My favorite song from this album is "I Got." It is just so much fun! Great tunes, great instrumentation, great vocals. Do yourself a favor and get this album.

I heard Young the Giant's My Body once and immediately purchased the album. I'm so happy to say that it isn't the only great track on here. It's the kind of great soaring melodic rock that seems rare now a days. Sameer Gadhia's vocals are excellent, moving and evocative, and the music to go along with it matches him on every note. Definitely one of my favorite albums of the year.

My daughter discovered them through a family friend a while back when they were called Jakes... We then trouped over to their SF concert at Bottom Of The Hill and I was hooked. It is very precious that I am able to enjoy music with my teenage daughter! Just Priceless! If you have not auditioned their sound - you owe it to yourself and to your kids to give them a serious listen! You'll find something to cherish! Bravo! Well done! Get it: Young The Giant

Sure, it's been out for several months already, but this is an album full of songs that get stuck in your head. It has become my 2011 Summer Pick. The comparisons to Coldplay in other reviews are a little overdone. Certainly, there are points in some songs that really sound like Coldplay, but YTG have their own sound. I love this album.

"My Body" is "the hit". I'm a big fan of "I Got" and several others. Overall, vocals are incredible and these guys consistently find a good groove with the music throughout the album. Thanks Amazon for the suggestion and the nice price.

I had to get this album after hearing them on Sirius a few times. Cough syrup and My body are both outstanding and highly addictive songs. I also love "I Got", I almost feel like I get lost in their music sometimes and that hasn't happened to me for years. Very refreshing sound, some of my friends complained they were a little "slow" for their taste but otherwise great sound. So far its my favorite album of the year! As an added bonus, my kids enjoy it as well.

Wow--what a great sound. The songs do not all sound the same and there are interesting beats and tones. I can't stop playing it on the stereo and replaying it in my head. You won't be disappointed.

I had a $2 off coupon and used it when it was on Amazon's $5 list. I liked the song 'My Body' in the previews and figured that there would be two other tracks worth getting so I bit. I really enjoy the entire album. A good amount of passion is in the vocals and really fun beats from the drums. The band reminds me a bit of Five for Fighting and U2.

One of the few albums I have that I can listen to every song...

I'm looking forward to the next album.

Looked in stores around me and was unable to find this album. Went online and there it was so I ordered it. Delivery was quick and now my grandson is enjoying the album. And, I found that I really like their music.

I found the videos to, "My Body" and "Cought Syrup" on YouTube and was pretty impressed and decided to buy the album based off of those two songs and it turns out that the entire CD is just as good. Every song was great and I just got the CD a couple days ago and I've already listened to it from front to back at least a half a dozen times. Definitely would suggest this CD to everyone. GREAT BUY, won't be disappointed.
