 Just wish it were longer Aug 30, 2008
I know ... it's a single. But I love just about everything that The Postal Service puts out. I just wish it were longer. It's wonderful.
I'm still listening to this CD. Jul 06, 2008
Every song on this CD is good. Most CDs come out with two or three good songs and you feel cheated. This CD puts that bitterness to rest. Pick a song, any song and you'll like it. In the vein as Rilo Kiley they deconstruct society and in an upbeat way. However, these songs inspire hope, where say Death Cab For Cutie inspire a long fall off of something tall, these are wonderfully sung, masterfully produced, and the feelings from track one continues to the last one without any repetition. The emotive constructions run the gambit of apathy, hope, depression ("this place is a prison/ these people aren't your friends/ it can't be a party when it happens every night") to creativity and love. I have nothing bad to write about this CD. After all this time, I still listen to it.
 another good one! Oct 10, 2007
again this band really is wonderful. I wish they lived closer and I would love to do their video! Get this one all their death cab & postal service stuff. Plans is still on my player :)
enjoy!
Love

Out of the 3, my second favorite... Dec 23, 2006
The Postal Service is hands down one of my favorite bands out there...kind of sucks since Ben Gibbard (lead singer) is now part of Death Cab For Cutie, last time I knew. Being my second favorite of the 3 out there, the single includes the original, "Be Still My Heart", and a remix of "Nothing Better", and a remix of "We Will Become Silhouettes". I do not particularly care for the remix of "Nothing Better" as it was a little awkward to hear, not just the first time but everytime I go to listen to it. The remix of "WWBS" however, is pretty cool. It almost disects the song so that you get a feel of what actually went into the original and what I found was things I had missed musically in the original; it was very nicely done in my opinion. Certainly worth the money to get this one, and the others for anyone who is a Postal Service fan!
My preference of the 3 singles are (in order): "Such Great Heights", "We Will Become Silhouettes", and lastly "District Sleeps Alone Tonight" Hope you find what you're looking for though! (I have given reviews of the others, so go check them if you like Postal Service's music!!!)

Engaging, catchy tunes Jul 19, 2006
This collection of singles retains all of the charm and lyric sophistication of the other Postal Service work. We Will Become Silhouettes appears on two tracks. The original is ethereal and upbeat. Matthew Dear's Not Scared Mix takes it to the next level, making the happy song even catchier. Be Still My Heart will be a favorite of Such Great Heights fans. With story lyrics and happy back beat, the song is something to listen to when you need a pick-me-up. Nothing Better (Styrofoam Remix) launches straight into electronica.
