Their 7th album is out in January and the first single Closer just came out this week. It hits iTunes today and it's Top 10 in Canada and apparently Top 40 on iTunes US, which surprises me. This song is a drastic change in their sound, even though their most recent album was the most pop-sounding, this song is very pop. Dragonette-style pop. Pop enough to cross over I think.
I'm excited!

Closer isn't exactly my favorite single by them but it's good to see it hit Top 40 on iTunes. Have they had a crossover hit before?

I like both Closer and Every Chance We Get We Run better than anything from the last album. I am very excited for Heartthrob. Will ECWGWR be on the album? I think it's similar enough in sound to Closer for it to make sense.

Judging from what I've heard, this is going to be their breakthrough album to mainstream success. I even think they could possibly get a CHR hit.

I Was a Fool is on Soundcloud now. Definitely top 40 material. I would love for them to get a hit from this record if this is any indication of the overall sound.

I quite like it too based on my first listen. This album is really shaping up to be sounding great. Already a step up from Sainthood. I wonder if they will top The Con or So Jealous?
Longtime lesbian fans, on the other hand, are hating it.

After hearing "Closer" in VH1's rebranding campaign ads, I'm now fully behind the idea to push that to Top 40...hope that happens. All three of the songs I've heard so far are pretty pop-friendly, so I hope they give it a chance!

I loooooooooove "Closer." Never gave these two much attention before, but "Closer" is a gem.

The album leaked today. It'll be the first thing I listen to after I finish True Blood. I'm dying to listen to it now though!
It'll be streaming officially tomorrow on Rollingstone.com at 8 AM/9 AM EST.

I've been listening to it today. I like it. It's not amazing, but it's good. I think the majority of it will grow on me.

After the painstakingly long wait for Michelle Branch's West Coast Time, I may not forgive WBR if they don't try to send at least "Closer" and "I'm Not Your Hero" to pop radio. Great album that trends toward the pop sound without abandoning their established fanbase (as I understand it to be) by phoning it in or being too shallow.

I love the 80s Pop flavor of the album. They better break out with this one!

Great album. The only other one of theirs that I have and have heard is The Con, which was solid but I think this shiny new gloss fits them VERY well. Greg Kurstin did right by them. I only wish I had made it in time to check them out when they opened for The Killers recently. :(

Tegan & Sara (Warner Bros.) 40-45k Expecting sales for this week! I'm hoping they can at least double the first week sales of Sainthood (24k) but if not, they're definitely gonna outsell that album and quickly (110k).
