Consistent: That's the word that best describes the discography of New York's Nada Surf, the jingle-jangle pop trio now in its second decade. With heavenly harmonies and swollen choruses, the band can always be counted on to deliver an album's worth of hummable, single-worthy melodies. With lyrics that are pointed, yet restrained, the music--often acoustically driven but electrically charged--is the message. Songs like "See These Bones" (a Teenage Fanclub knock-off featuring Death Cab for Cutie's Ben Gibbard), the optimistic "I Like What You Say," the louder "Weightless," and especially "Ice on the Wing" are the brand of pop cut that takes merely a couple listens to feel like it's been in the listening arsenal for years. Even the more somber tracks are buoyed by tranquil instrumentation or, on the heartrending closer, "The Film Did Not Go `Round," by the backing vocals of the underrated Lianne Smith. --Scott Holter

Customer Reviews

Un Lucky
I'm not sure whats happened to Nada Surf. They have fallen short of the quality and production of 2003's Let Go with every release since even though Lucky is a bit better than the previous album. I yearn to hear a song that picks me up like High Speed Soul did from these guys.

Great Album!!
I saw Nada Surf back in 2006 in Tucson, AZ and they made it clear that they were not going to record another cd and that it was their farewell tour. I was very sad that night after the show but once this new cd came out, I couldn't be happier. Great upbeat album, same old Nada Surf sound. If you liked their last album, then go pick this up now!

mainstream
This is a little more mainstream work from Nada Surf. I love all the tracks but it doesn't have the experimental edge that all their previous albums had. Pick it up for a good listen, tho.
