Champ

This is literally one of my favorite albums of all time. Even if you're not a huge fan of Tokyo Police Club, this album will change your perspective. All of the songs flow beautifully into one another and express interesting themes-- growing up, the love of a parent, alcoholism, falling in love for the first time, and other somewhat cerebral topics. TPC's musicianship is absolutely stellar for this album as well, and the mixing is done with great care as to reflect that. They certainly seem to have grown since the last album.Champ belongs in every indie musician's CD collection, without a doubt. You will not regret purchasing this album. It's phenomenal. Crunchy guitars, biting (yet clever!) lyrics, smooth electropop synth, and heart-pounding drums drive the songs into the listener's heart. These adorable Canadians will sneak their way into your heart by the time you're done with the third track, for sure. Get this album! Stat!

I met TPC at a We Were Promised Jetpacks concert and they were very cool. Support cool artists.

I think the songwriting was compromised on this album. There isn't a Tessellate or In a Cave, but for the most part the album is still addictive and has catchy hooks, which I like. The first track is the best track, favorite food, and every track after that kind of falls short of duplicating this awesome track, but it does flow into one almost conceptual album under the umbrella of "champ." which i give them credit for. You'd have to try this yourself. It doesn't blow my socks off at first, but it still seems like TPC has something more, some more potential.

I don’t own a ton of picture discs. They’re kind of hard to store on the shelf with my other records. But I knew I needed to get this album in my collection and this was a cost effective and practical way to do so. Works perfect and was delivered promptly.

"Catchiness" is funny thing to me, because as easy to love as it is, its also kind of cheap. "Champ" is more complex, more understated than the previous album, "Elephant shell", but its also not as catchy. "Champ" includes some slower, more sentimental songs that are new for the band, such as "Favorite Food" "Breakneck Speed" and "Hands Reversed". The more upbeat songs like "Favorite Color" "Frankenstein" and "Bambi" are all well-written and fun, but still aren't as gritty and upbeat songs from the last album.Overall, really smart band and both albums are 5 stars.

Remains Tokyo Police Club's best album to date, in my opinion

I dont see anything bad with the album, i thought it was pretty good and much more fun than the other albums, while it feels like its more accessible to broader audience but at the same time they manage to keep songs pretty good. Its catchy and easier to get into.

Great!

When TPC where releasing a new album I wondered if it would be up to the standard of some of their other stuff like the elephant shell album and man did they deliver... This album has kept up my %100 like of their songs ^ ^

I chose it because I heard my partner playing it. It really cheered me up on my way to work.

Quick delivery, product as stated. Thanks

Just a great all around album, love the song bambi always gets your energy levels up. One of those albums you can listen to over and over again
