Listen To This: We Can't Stop!

Filed under: Listen To This > Alphabeat

We finally got our hands on the Alphabeat album, which is sadly still not available in America, and it is sooooooo good.

Additively delicious!

We can't stop listening to it!

If you have yet to fall in love with the charm of Alphabeat, despite our previous posts on them, then here are three of our favorite songs off the album, which we have yet to mention on the site.

They need to come to the U.S.!!!!!!!

Perez's website is starting to hit the wall. How much is this band paying you to give them a good review?

It sure seems like a Coldplay imitator to me. How come you have love for them if you hate Coldplay so much. Don't get me wrong, I hate Coldplay too, but their lead singer has that 'thin' vocal that Chris Martin has. You are letting the label influence your taste in music, Mario.

Perez - this is shit…I seem to notice a trend, everytime you say something is off the hook it turns out to be dire crap…..you need better taste in music before you go critiquing it.
Emili says – reply to this

I'm from Denmark like Alphabeat. I don't like their music, but think it's really cool you're looking out for new artists and support them throught your website.

my fav song off the album is fasination- its so catchy!
you can proberly get the album of amazon:)
minim says – reply to this

31

God this band blows.

I can't believe some of the (obviously self-imposed) comparisons that you get to people in music.

Your choices are shit about 95% of the time, and the other 5% are obvious, as they've already been promoted by everyone else in the know.
Mark says – reply to this

32

The reason it's not available in the US is because it's some of the worst shit I've ever heard. This is your crap musical taste at it once again. You say the Coldplay album sucks as does the Lolla lineup? Your just a wannabe "journo" with horrible music taste and old info from other sites who get the scoop first.
HAHA says – reply to this

33

I love how Perez acts like he discovers all this shitty music. Like he is so with it. All of it sounds the same, shit they would play at RAGE. Why don't you try promoting a band that actually has the talent to make it past one club hit.
Sarah says – reply to this

34

What is wrong with all of you haters?!?! Just because their music doesn't talk about sluts and hoes and boots with fur on them doesn't mean it's not good music. Stop hating and start dancing.

And they sound nothing like Coldplay. That is just ridiculous.

God Perez THIS MUSIC SUCKS!!! The 3rd song sounds like a throw back from Madonna, you know the song "Into The Grove"???? Like they semi copied it….

Ditto Perez, I recently found them and love them! Good music selection, haters don't appreciate good music only overly processed crap. Keep doing what you do Perez.

This group is G.D. amazing. Super fun summertime music.

Comparing them to Coldplay's music? That's preposterous.

do dog whistles sound different to gay people than to straight people?
Is there an extra chromosone somewhere that enables homosexuals to enjoy this music?

LOOOOVE ALPHABEAT.

My friend who just moved here from Denmark a couple years ago gave me her Alphabeat CD to rip.
I absolutely LOVE it.
It's like, addictive, or something.

:) yay for Alphabeat!
Syrc8 says – reply to this

OMG! I LOVE Alphabeat! They really need to release their music in the U.S. damnit!! I can't wait!

Actually, I think I'll be paying for the import! I can't wait!!!

Thanks Perez. I love your music picks!

Gee, 80's New Wave is back. Instead of music getting better it's come to an abrupt halt and jumped the time machine back in time to the worst decade of music ever-The 80's. Good fucking job.

Maja says – reply to this

I LOVE ALPHABEAT.
It's sad that they have deleted some songs at the new edition at their debutalbum. 'Into the Jungle', for examble. I think that one is much better than Rubber Boots. I'm gonna see them live this Summer, second time, dudes. They're are so good live. Catch a liveshow with them, if you can. It's almost even better live than on cd.

I love alphabeat also… good you got your eyes open for them.. I am from Denmark and so are they.. They are coming to my small town this saturday..

Do you really think this is good??? Fucking sux!
Heidi says – reply to this

76

Funny, how all of a sudden you're crazy for them. I, (and I'm sure many others), mentioned them to you in emails, months before you talked about them on your site. Then all of a sudden you can't stop talking about them.
Regardless of that, I think it's cool that you take notice to them, cause they really are amazing and they deserve all the attention they can get

Re: Sarah – Honey I don't listen to any music concerning sluts and hos but this stuff is not good. Perhaps you didn't grow up in the 80s…but this sounds like a knock off of the worst of the worst…and if Im going to dance and believe me I do…this wont work….

eeewww! what crap!
Kevin says – reply to this

Ugh, cheesy pop. How did this dude get his own record label!?

Well I least I know Perez will get fired soon enough…if he thinks stuff like this is good taste.
HUH says – reply to this

80

Why does that version of "Boyfriend" sound so WHACK?
I like the other one better!
And "What is Happening" sounds…different…too.

Oh well, I still looove Alphabeat!
Tas says – reply to this

81

I must say that I really like this music, and it's not just because I'm Danish. You're right, it's not like it's the most original band ever, it's not like we haven't heard this type of music before. But then again, they've never claimed to be original, so .. And honestly - comparing this music to Coldplay os just a disgrace - it is not even near the same genre .. Seems to me like someone may be talking about things they know nothing about.

Last but not least - I wonder why there are so many negative and critic comments .. I mean no one is being forced to go to this site, and it sure sounds like someone see Perez as a needle in the eye, but yet they keep coming back. I personally love this site - it's the perfect way to get my daily dosis of hot gossip - so thanks and keep up the good work, it is being appreciated

These tracks are from Alphabeat's rereleased UK album. Some of them have been slightly updated. Personally, I'm still a big fan of 10,000 Nights. When a song starts off with, "I was not looking for Artsy Fartsy Love" they get my vote.

Brilliant!

Beyonce SHINES At Revel! WERKS Single Ladies & Halo! Watch!!

Sparkle it up, gurl!! Let us see that seXXy shine!!

Still thrilled from Beyonce's intimate behind-the-scenes video, we're ready to DANCE after watching this Single Ladies performance!!

The crowd was WILD for Bey when she made her first stage debut since giving birth to beautiful Blue Ivy. And from the looks of this performance, she gave 'em their money's worth and then some!
