Yeah any indie track there is a dud; you've gotta go for something the crowd can sing along to. It's sports, a time for us to drop pretensions and share collective emotions. If you feel the need to be standoffish in that context you're beyond repair. Might as well give up and write for Pitchfork.
I'd go for "Friday" myself.

yes, I'm sure a Decemberists show evokes the same level of hysteria as a One Direction show.

The band's singer was about as happy about that writeup as you might expect. From Twitter:
"i don't speak spanish so idk what's happening and i don't I like it" - Pitchfork + most major music publications on songs w/ spanish lyrics
"My Spanish is shot, but I figure Victoria Ruiz is meant to be understood better through her energy than her words anyway" seriously guys?
Gonna put in our next press release that our songs are actually in a made up language mix of Elvish + Icelandic I bet they'll translate that
"we could have easily looked up what these Spanish words meant ANYWHERE but we don't care enough to do so because English is better"

A moratorium, please, on comparing synthy indie records to John Hughes soundtracks, especially as most of them don't actually sound like John Hughes soundtracks.

Am I the only on who finds it weird - if not shocking - that Pitchfork has thus far ignored the new Built To Spill album, Built To Spill being one of the bands I used to very closely associate with Pitchfork, for better or worse?
― Jimmywine Dyspeptic, Monday, 20 April 2015 13:26 (nine years ago) link
the album comes out tomorrow. they don't seem to run reviews before the week of release very often (at least that had been the case for a number of years -- i was surprised recently that they ran a review of Mac McCaughan's album 3 weeks before its street date).
― some dude, Monday, 20 April 2015 13:33 (nine years ago) link

I prefer the Asian Built To Spill to the Country Built To Spill, but I hear they're gonna put out a split 7" on Black Friday, so that'll probably be a 8.2 easy.
