When the time gets closer, I'll move/make a new topic over in Music News but for now, I'll put it here so we can discuss old stuff as well as new stuff.
Their new album will be out in July. I CAN'T WAIT! Tegan and Sara are the ONLY artist that I can think of that I like ALL of their songs enough, to the point where I don't skip any of their songs. You know how you have artists that you might REALLY love but sometimes, on an album or maybe once per album, they have a song that for whatever reason, you skip about half the time (or most or even all of the time). Tegan and Sara don't have that for me. With 4 albums, that's a big thing. And since the release of their last album 'So Jealous', they've become one of my FAVOURITE artists so you can tell that their next one is one of my most highly anticipated CDs, maybe of all time for me. They have a LOT to live up to!
w00h00! 4 months!

I'll go ahead and say it. So Jealous is one of my favorite albums of all time. For a few months it was the default record in my car (other than Joy Division's Substance) and I'd sing along with them like a retard (with the windows up). Even though my music tastes have changed since discovering them, I can't hate them. I still find their snarky between-song banter quite endearing. Thanks for the heads up.
Oh, and they are rabid hockey fans (check out their DVD...the actually took breaks from recording to watch Stanley Cup playoff games!). Gotta love those canucks.

I only liked walking with a ghost That and "Speak Slow". Well, that and the fact they're the only two I've heard. |

Walking With A Ghost I'd probably rank somewhere in the bottom middle of songs I like by them. But it was also a #1 hit for me (probably based a lot on the fact that it was a first single from the album). I'll admit that they might not be everyone's cup of tea because they aren't really radio pop music but they make great rock/pop songs.
The new album is called 'The Con'. I'll make a topic for it in Music News nearer to the album date. Here's the tracklisting:
i was married
relief next to me
the con
knife going in
are you ten years ago
back in your head
hop a plane
soil, soil
burn your life down
nineteen
floorplan
like O, like h
dark come soon
call it off
I can't F-in wait!! Band of the decade for me, I think.

I hope they don't play a large venue when they come here. I'd much rather the smaller intimate one that can hold like 300 or 400 people. That's enough. Although I know they could do more than that in Halifax. They have quite the following. I'm expecting a tour in the fall. The CD is out in 2 months! I can't wait! I should check their site/myspace to see if there are any clips or anything.
My most anticipated CD of the year, for sure!

It leaked 2 months before it's release? What CD leaks that early? Most of the tracks are super short, unless they're not the full versions? Out of the new album, "Nineteen" is my favourite.
"I was yours, right?".

You have it?! I was kinda looking for it but I'm not sure if I even want it before it comes out... I'm conflicted.
They usually do have short songs. How short? A lot of their songs, especially from their 'If It Was You' CD were 2 and a half to 3 and a half minutes short.

Well then maybe they're the full lengths. They must've seemed so short because the lyrics aren't as repetitive. The shortest one if I can recall is 2 minutes and 8 seconds or something, could be a few seconds more, a few less. I didn't really pay attention to the length of the songs, I just listened and fell in love.

Thanks Oscillations! 
I'm so weary. I know I'll love it. I'll wait to hear a few other comments before I attempt at "seeking" it out and "listening" to it. lol! I'm so hardstruck now. Should I listen now or wait.....!!!!
What's your favourite, Computerfreak?

It's going to be released to iTunes on June 19th or the 26th while it hits record stores July 24th. I'll wait for the CD even though I have the leaked mp3s now. I still haven't listened.
Meanwhile, their Canadian tour dates will be announced by the 19th with tickets on sale for the 26th! I can't wait! I hope they do Halifax! They usually do!

I got this on Tuesday and I've been listening ever since. Right now I'm just trying to grow on the songs. I think, in the long run, I will like this one as much as 'So Jealous', which I consider to be one of my favourite CDs of all time. I associate 'So Jealous' with a specific timeframe of my life that I have a lot of fond memories of and considering where I am in my life now, I think 'The Con' may grasp this portion of my life as well that I can look back on.
I don't have a favourite track yet, well, aside from the title track which I LOVE!!! but the album as a whole is growing on me.
I find their albums are much better to be listened to as entire entities rather than single tracks. I don't enjoy tracks from 'So Jealous' half as much as I do when they are in the context of the entire disc and the same pretty much can be said for their other three discs.

Wow! That's actually really good! I forget where their last album was but for some reason I think it got to either #52 or #152 or something like that.
Anyway, I think that's a great debut position. Here in Canada, their album debuted at #4! I think that's amazing too!!
