    ichigo Owl City.

    Has anyone ever heard of them or, better yet, listen to their music?

    They are really great, in my opinion. They, meaning the guy and his girlfriend. They run all the music by themselves, and it sounds wonderful. They are kind of techno-y, but their music is all so happy sounding, and it makes you want to just dance. I love it.

    Anyone who hasn't heard of them should check them out. Click the link for a page to listen to them. :3

    I've heard of them, and I really like their song, "Fireflies."
    Is that your final answer?

    Indeed.

    I like them good enough. I bought a CD in the hopes of seeing how the music matures and changes, as right now I'm split on the songs. Some are quite good, and others just don't do it for me.
    Boy am I an unfunny ass.

    I, surprisingly, don't hate Fireflys.

    It's a decent song, though I don't know if i like it enough to ever pay for it. Some simple lyrics, but well written, and decent vocals and music.

    I can't decide as to whether I like Owl City or not.
    On one hand, Adam Young can come up with some catchy little tunes and the lyrics are kinda thought-provoking.

    On the other hand, as catchy as his songs are, they grow repetitive and I think he relies too much on a pattern. You just...shouldn't do that.

    Perhaps I do like his work, but just can't bring myself to enjoy it because EVERYONE I know is obsessed with Owl City. That's always a major turn-off for me, sadly enough.

    My ten-year-old sister brings up Fireflies on YouTube all the time. It's nice. Haven't heard anything else.

    I don't get the hype. Think it's quite awful actually. Cheesy stuff, Postal Service unnatural soundish, it's is just not working for me I guess.

    i think it suffers from the same problem as most music nowadays. Decent catchy, but if you actually listen to the lyrics, it's awful. Fireflies is just stupid, and anyone who I've actually made listen to the lyrics and they think about what it means, laughs at the song.

    I love Owl City.. Adam Young is just amazing. My favourite song is either The Saltwater Room or Vanilla Twilight. And I like the simplicity of the lyrics, because so many songs are just full of hidden meanings and you have to think about it a lot. But Owl City... The lyrics are the opposite. They're simple, yet beautiful.


    I've found that skeletons grow stronger when kept in the rearview.

    He's got a couple good songs here and there, but ultimately they all tend to sound alike so I can't stand listening to Owl City in large quantities. He just sounds like he's trying too hard to be the Postal Service to me.
