    Over the last few months I've come to absolutely adore this band, I havent felt this way about a group since hearing If you're feeling sinister by Belle and Sebastian. Amazing Voice, Lyrics and Melodies. I can't fault them at all.

    If no one's heard of them, I'd recommend running out and trying to find their 3 albums, Take Off's and Landings, The Execution of All Things and their most recent and probably easiest to find More Adventurous. Also they have a couple of EP's with around about 8 or so songs on each, some of which appear on both.

    My favorite has to be The Execution of All Things, the song better son/daughter is one of the most beautiful uplifting things i've ever heard.

    Thats really all, just thought i'd share. You wont be sorry.

    mah i find her voice quitew annoying after a while, much prefer her when she's on backing vocals with the postal service, i will give you that son/daughter is a top notch track though

    Really? I think she has an excellent voice, "I Never" from More Adventurous hits all the right notes.
    Different strokes i guess.

    The debate among their fans is whether they declined after the lead singers broke up following the first album, have to say, it is their best

    I haven't heard much of Rilo Kiley but I certainly like the couple of songs I have heard though. I read so much about this group and all the reviews and the general consensus about them has been unbelievably positive. Everyone loves them.

    I wouldn't agree with that at all. In fact i think the first album is the weakest of the three. I think that the've matured so much after the first album, in pure songwriting terms. Each album seems to be a huge step up for them. The Execution of All Things is top of my list though.

    I've heard More Adventurous and Execution of All Things and thought they were both pretty good. Nice sound.

    Oh !! I'm the biggest Rilo Kiley fan ever! well i'd like to think i am so far anyway. Its so great to find more people that like em, coz where I live there aren't many who've heard of them. But I think they're great! have u seen Jenny in acting? It's really funny. she was in some tv movie thing... I have all the albums and 2 EPs, one is a live cd. I dislike Blake somewhat though. I'm praying they'll play here sometime soon.. that would be so great.
