Port Blue is fantastic. Let's be honest, Sky Sailing is basically just acoustic Owl City.
>>74760324
True but I still would rather listen to that than 90% of owl city's catalogue. He also released a bunch of instrumental albums called "Adam Young Scores" which have a couple of reworked port blue songs

I just heard his Color Therapy stuff on Soundloud. Any chance you might have a link?
>>74761313
I ended up having to buy it myself because I couldn't find it anywhere. I'll drop a link as soon as I get home in like 20 mins

What is /mu/'s actual opinion on owl city, always wondered but never cared to make a thread about it
>>74761855
I can't speak for /mu/ as a whole, but I enjoy most of their songs. I was shocked when I got dragged to one of his shows and it was a legitimate band with Adam on guitar and a full string section. Fireflies sounded great on guitar. He should incorporate more of that into his music

Guilty pleasure for me. The lyrics are some of the silliest nonsense I've ever heard, but his synths and drum programming are actually really good I think, and his whispery voice relaxes me.

Pls be legit

Of June & Maybe Im Dreaming will always be his pinnacles.
Ocean Eyes is still good but it has shitty tracks like dental care and rugs from me to you which was the start of him getting happier and transitioning from dream pop to regular pop.
Ive still never heard an album like MiD where it literally captures the "dream" part of dream pop.

some pretty big nostalgia for those two, they still hold up surprisingly, even if most of his lyrics can be corny and weird, i always found it kinda refreshing.
Ocean eyes is fine but yeh that was his big pop album what with fireflies exploding into popularity for some reason. I also really liked Atbab and Mobile Orchestra but Midsummer station kinda sucked, at least they're all mostly different in their own right.
is link anon not gonna happen.
Only link i found required a rapidgater premium.
alright lads, would amazon or apple have the better bitrate?

I don't mind Owl City. Fireflies is a meme song but his music makes me feel a lot of things, especially Vanilla Twilight.
