Carl - All Birds Say

[Mr.BigSig]

I've only listened to it once, but I really like it. I will have to listen to it a few more time before I can tell to what degree I like the album.

That signature is totally messing with my web browsing expirience.

Finally just finished the album.  Beautiful.  I guess it's not something that's going to blow most people away on first listen but this one is definately going to be a grower.  Can't wait to listen outside on a nice day.  All kinds of wonderful sounds in this one.


Retired is an early favorite.  It sounds like this to me:

Retired is awesome. Nice pic to go with it. There is a live version from the Spin Indy bootleg. It used to be listed as Return but they seem to have changed it.

How do we get the download of the extra [highlight]videos and footage[/highlight] from the deluxe edition?

It's odd quoting myself.
Does anyone know about this?

i'm pretty sure these will get released at the same time as the physical release.

it's a pretty enjoyable listen. the music is really good, some of the lyrics however are kinda goofy, borderline embarassing. had trouble finishing the different people song (forget the title) because of how annoying the chorus and lyrics were...but overall it's pretty good. i love the song "carried away" which i had the privelage of hearing live at merriweather in the spring.

embarrassing for who?

Waiting for my super creamy deluxe version to show up in my mailbox (or driveway depending on the delivery method..)

i am a tech idiot- if i download the album, can i move it to itunes somehow?

I listened to the album in the car with my wife, and about halfway through she said "is this a children's album?" which made me wince.

I think I do like "Lose What's Left" a bit better than "All Birds Say".  It has more upbeat energy.  ABS is very mellow.  I could see what Mrs. mahg33ta is saying.  

This album deserves multiple listens.  I've listened to it 3 or 4 times and it blends into the background.  I'm always in my car, too, which might affect the experience.  I'm listening to it now, as I write this, so it is a more focused experience.

Someone remarked on some of the lyrics being "embarassing", or something to that effect.  I guess every album has a few awkward tunes (Two Halves, anyone?).  They may grow on you, or you can hit "Skip".  

I find ABS emminently listenable.  The instrumentation is fantastic; we all knew Carl was talented.  I'm digging it.

I also totally respect that he's making music that is not necessarily going to fit the tastes of My Morning Jacket fans.  That takes BALLS, as it could hurt sales.  You listen to this gentle album, then watch him rock out on stage w/MMJ.  "There's a lot of different people in the world."

I totally agree with this.

Nice...Looking forward to the Carl gift pack to arrive.  Signed vinyl and a way too small t-shirt. ;D

I know the live versions of Carried Away and Enough had already been posted so here's Questions too:

Nice!  I'm loving this album.  It makes me feel happy.

Carl's gone all Andrew Birdy on us!  Love the looping on this version and the freakout at the end!   Can someone make an mp3 of this?  VIMEO videos always play choppy for me or I would do it myself.

I'll try when I get home, unless someone beats me to it.

I got my collector's edition of All Birds Say today!  #1 of 250!  Nice package; too bad I don't own a turntable.

Yup just got mine today also. A nice surprise. First class job with the packaging. Johnny, it's not # 1. Mine says "This is 1 of an edition of 250". I thought I got the first one also.

Just a side, if you don't have this and there are still some left, do yourself a BIG favor and order it!

I was going to ask that same thing. I thought I had Number 1....haha.

Listened to the vinyl today....amazing. Joe's Pub show will be sweet.
