Album Description
2009 sophomore release from the Minnesota-based Electro-Rock outfit AKA singer/songwriter Adam Young. While his music continues to win followers all over the world, Adam does indeed hide behind his music, not going by his real name (See: Badly Drawn Boy and Dashboard Confessional); but going by the moniker Owl City. Loaded with amazing loops, catchy pickups, and lyrics that soothe the mind and touch the heart, Adam Young has once again created a lush listening experience. Owl City's trademark desire to escape in dreams, oceans and sky abound on songs such as 'Cave In' and 'Umbrella Beach.' With glorious vocal harmonies and touching odes to love lost, Adam has dug more deeply on Ocean Eyes, lyrically and musically, than ever.

 This album is great... November 21, 2009
LostinControl (Bluffton, SC)
But... Re: Postal Service! If you like this album and have never heard of the Postal Service, you need to look them up. This is very reminiscent of Postal Service's style... It's almost eerie how much the music is alike. Postal Service is the brain child of Ben Gibbard, the lead in Death Cab for Cutie. Check it out.
Incredible Debut!!!! November 21, 2009

This album has something everyone will enjoy. The music is well written, joyful, and Adam Young's vocals are amazing. The music literally puts a smile on your face and makes you feel happy. Adam wrote all of the songs except two, which he co-wrote with Matt Thiessen. The lyrics mean something and make you think. The song "Dental Care" may be about dental care, but the lyrics are really clever. An example would be: "Golf and alcohol don't mix and that's why I don't drink and drive." Some of my favorites would be "Cave In", "Saltwater Room", and "Vanilla Twilight". It's appropriate for all ages and is one of the best albums I've ever bought. If you're looking for a talented new artist, then this is the band for you!
Owl City Puts A Smile On Your Face!!!!!! November 21, 2009

23-year-old Adam Young is the only member of Owl City, but that's all you really need. In his most recent release, Ocean Eyes, he has 12 tracks consisting of catchy melodies in the electronica genre. I didn't even know if I would like this album, but I saw it had so many five-star reviews; it had to be good. I went out on a limb and bought the CD and every track was amazing. You can listen to this CD from start to finish, without skipping a song. The lyrics are so creative and make complete sense. Adam Young wrote all the songs by himself except for two that he co-wrote. The music is very happy and unique. It is great for all ages and he also has really nice voice. This genre may not seem to be one you would usually choose (I wouldn't have either), but I strongly recommend it for anyone. Some of my favorite tracks are: "Fireflies", "On The Wing", and "Tidal Wave". All of the songs are well done and it was really hard to pick favorites. Owl City puts a smile on your face, so be sure to check out his other albums "Maybe I'm Dreaming" and "Of June" too!
Awesome!! November 20, 2009

I have a new favorite band. =D
This feels like the music of my soul - so uplifting and cheery! I have yet to find a song on this album that I don't like. There is so much musical variety within each song: acoustic, disco, even some symphony, all wrapped up in each individual song.
Did I mention that the lyrics are AMAZING??? Yeah, well, they're amazing. So simple, yet so profound; makes me feel like a little kid again.
 Not A Masterpiece, But, Dang, It Feels Good November 20, 2009
Evan Smith (New York, NY USA)
This is not a 5-star album, but that is not stopping me from listening to it repeatedly. Adam Young has a knack for creating hooks and riffs that really suck you in. The lush layers of electronic swirls, blips, and percussion coupled with very melodic vocals make this album very easy to listen to. It's a collection of highly poslished (and sometimes overly processed--AutoTuned) songs. If you're looking for something that you'll listen to over and over for years (my definition of a 5-star album), this is not that type of album. If you want to lift your spirits and feel happy, this is that type of album. Recommended listening for those occasions.
