Hearing the track "Jan 28, 1986" (a remembrance of The Challenger disaster) lead into "Galaxies" put this song into a whole different context. The combination of the beautiful lyrics and melodies, plus the dance beat (!) was striking for me. I can see why this song is connecting on Christian radio, but I think it could easily crossover onto mainstream. I think it's stronger than Deer in the Headlights.
I like the album, a lot of good cuts on here.

I'm not loving the album like I was Ocean Eyes or Maybe I'm Dreaming. :( Kamikaze is the only song I've really been listening to.

Owl City killed it last night at Roseland in NYC. Fabulous concert and it was so fun watching all the fans singing along with him. Adam Young sort of came across as a piano/guitar Crispin Glover-esque character, quite amusing, and so talented. Very strong backup band.
I think the highlight was a guitar oriented "Fireflies" and new Christian CHR hit "Galaxies."
Several tracks were done for the encore, but he finished with "If My Heart were a House" which was wonderful. (He did not sing Sky Sailing's "Brielle" which was kind of a bummer, considering the love that song got on YouTube).
Oh, and he sang Alligator Sky with a video screen where he interchanged versus with who I'm guessing was Shawn Chrystopher.

Since he mentions Paul Van Dyk in there, I guess it's appropriate to post this: "Eternity," from Paul's upcoming album, features Adam. Perhaps it's representative of the album's sound...which is fine with me--I like it.

Absolutely in love with the Shooting Star EP songs, I hope Gold and SS are (proper) singles. I'm just gonna pretend All Things Bright and Beautiful never happened and love Owl City again.

I have been playing Ocean Eyes non-stop ever since I brought it back to my car cd player. "Dental Care" and "Saltwater Beach" are everything.

GREAT ALBUM. My favorite song that wasn't on the EP is Dreams and Disasters, everything is pretty catchy though.
I'm Coming After You's instrumental reminds me of a ballad version of Dynamite lol

This album is almost entirely generic dancepop. Ocean Eyes beats the crap out of it.
