      I mean… They started making a second record and realize that it just wasn’t going to be a special so they opted to quit and shelve the material. it was never meant to be anything more than a side project and when they tried to push it they realized they were right in that decision

    It's been 16 years. I wish I could go back and tell my younger self how important this album would always be, and remember to listen to it when things got dark. It all holds up. The lyrics mean so much more after growing up and everything I've been thru. The heartbreak, the loss, the addiction. It's all represented in the lyrics here. I will be taking another journey with this album. Incredible.

    I read these lines in a Pitchfork "Best of 2000s" review: "Give Up is mid-decade indie pop flawlessly preserved in amber .... Let’s appreciate the album for what it is: An exquisite time capsule that probably can’t-and probably shouldn’t-be duplicated." These words really struck me as perfect for The Postal Service.

    This place is a prison fits like a glove these days. It was always a sad song of what could be, now it’s a piece of paper bound by a spine of what reflects our lives.

    Been listening since 2004 no idea Rilo Kiley member was in this! Watching this way too late in life. Chris Walla and Travis Morrison from Dismemberment Plan was a great mention here. Both of them also worked with So Many Dynamos!
