Customer Ratings & Reviews

New music from TV On the Radio is always eagerly anticipated, but after the tragedy of Gerard Smith's death four years ago, just as "Nine Types of Light" was released, uncertainty clouded the prospect of how his band mates would come back from their loss. After a half dozen listens to "Seeds," now, it is clear that their boundless creativity has not dried up in the least. While it is not often as sonically dynamic as much of their earlier music, the hearfelt, socio-political poetry of Tunde's and Kyp's vocals, and the subtle yet intriguing soundscapes, locate this latest masterpiece as clearly at home in the TVOTR firmament.

Heard the Careful You track on the Spectrum satellite station and went to Best Buy for the album. It comes with some interactive album artwork. Simple but fun. The music is fun too but more complex. The upbeat and pondering Could You kept me hitting repeat. Most songs are lyrically introspective like Test Pilot making us think about who we are. Very enjoyable album rock

TV on the Radio is a fantastic band. I would consider Seeds to be their most straightforward album, which isn't a bad thing. It's grown on me with each listen. While it didn't grab me as hard as previous efforts, it's still a very worthy addition to their catalog. Great musicianship, great vocals.

This was the first TV on the Radio cd I bought. "Could You", "Happy Idiot"and the hit "Careful You" will leave you wanting more. Also check out "Dear Science" and "Return to Cookie Mountain" when you wear this cd out.

TVOTR keeps getting better. I was nervous about what to expect following a death in the band, but the loss has pushed the remaining band members to new heights. A great tribute, a great album!

TV on the Radio are truly a world-class group; this is a wonderfully diverse and inventive recording. Probably their most accessible recording for neophytes.

tv on the radio may have lost one of their longtime members,but have kept their high standards of fine song craft.from one lp to the next they continue to impress.

I got this as a gift. It is a great album. Less experimental than past albums but, on the plus side, more accessible. Still a terrific amount of variation.

Seeds, the fifth full-length from Brooklyn-based indie rockers TV On The Radio, is a different experience from the band, but it's a worthy addition to their catalog. The band has never been known to rest on its laurels or to put out the same album twice, and this is definitely the case here. The surprising development comes in the accessibility of Seeds. If this album had been released about 5 or 10 years ago, I could see them scoring several hits from the album, as it would have fit in with all of the catchy post-punk that was happening at the time. It's unknown if they will achieve the same attention in the current folky/electronic environment that is the current sound of the Alternative Nations of the world, but I could see this expanding the fanbase of TVOTR. What makes this even more surprising is that this album was written in the aftermath of the passing of founding bassist, Gerard Smith. You can often hear lyrics that represent mourning, but at the same time, looking forward. I'm glad this band decided to keep going, as they have a lot more to offer in the current barren musical landscape. The next album will almost certainly go in another unique direction, and it should be interesting to see what happens next.

Definitely a must for any Tv on the radio fan. I like Cookie Mountain better but this is still a solid album.

Seeds is a great return by TV On The Radio, mixing dense catchy rock songs with doowop-inspired melodies.

not as good as Nine Types of Light but if you like TVOTR at all, you want this cd.

Excellent CD at a fair price Would buy it again. I'm glad to see you still sell CDs. Thanks!

This one my be my favorite yet from TV On The Radio! Such a great band!

Very cool album. Nice jams... Nice funk. Nice work by these BK vets.

Way better than their last 2 offerings. Pick this up!

The CD works, no defects, band is enjoyable. Many listens

A gift for my girlfriend and she loves it. Can't go wrong

After the tragic death of their bass guitarist (cancer), TVOTR hibernated while Dave Sitek did production work for others. Seeds is a welcome return, a worthy successor to Dear Science and Nine Types of Light. The loss means a slight change in the rhythm section is noticeable, but it is still definitely TVOTR. A must for fans of the group.
