Tracks: 1: District Sleeps Alone Tonight 2: District Sleeps Alone Tonight [Remix by DJ Downfall] [DJ Downfall Persi 3: Such Great Heights [Remix by John Tejada] 4: Suddenly Everything Has Changed

Excellent change of Pace for Death Cab For Cutie lead singer
Anyone who likes DEATH CAB FOR CUTIE and techno will enjoy The Postal Service. I love the melodies in this excellent CD.


Out of the 3, my least favorite...
As for this single of their's, probably my least favorite. I have loved the Postal Service since the first day I heard them. It has 2 remixes, the original, and lastly "Suddenly Everything Has Changed". I absolutely love the last song so for the Postal Service fan out there, all 3 singles are worth it, including this one. The 2 remixes I don't particularly care for, but considering the CD isn't too expensive, I believe it is worth getting if you like their other stuff! My preference of the 3 singles are (in order): "Such Great Heights", "We Will Become Silhouettes", and lastly this one. Hope you find what you're looking for though!.


I came for the extra song, stayed for the remix
In this case, that's why I bought the cd. When you buy a single of a song you already own on the actual cd, it's usually because there is an unreleased song on there, or something special. I was not disappointed, the song was excellent. The remix's of "The District Sleeps Alone Tonight" weren't that bad either. .


really loving this single
It's a good spin on the song and I like how the synth beat keeps building as the song progresses. Like the original song (which, at first, was a Give Up track I tended to skip past), the dj downfall remix grows on you. The such great heights remix is reason enough to get this single, the creative bass/dancebeat are trully addictive.


Solid single
While one of the remixes fails to live up to the original, the cover and other two songs are solid, enjoyable, and thoroughly pleasant to listen to. The Postal Service offers a new single from their album "Give Up," and it's worth every penny.

"District Sleeps Tonight" is a pleasant, slightly melancholy song, ("You seem so out of context/ in this gaudy apartment complex") and the DJ Downfall Remix of that same song is a faster, poppier, longer, more danceable version, and unfortunately a little less engaging. The John Tejada Remix of "Such Great Heights" is pleasant and upbeat remix; the single is rounded off by a quirky percussion-led cover of the Flaming Lips' "Suddenly Everything Has Changed. "

It's a pleasant weaving of rock, pop, electronica and what-have-you, with sweet lyrics and good music, like a bright-eyed cousin of Radiohead. Energetic and fun (with a bonus for Lips fans like myself), a good buy if you have four bucks on you.
