5.0 out of 5 stars timeless Oct 17 2002
By echobaba
Format:Audio CD
Rilo Kiley stands out in the crowded world of contemporary rock music. As true artists, they perform the kind of music that only they could possibly create. "Take Offs & Landings" conveys their unique band sound, great songwriting, and playful lyrics. The song "Pictures of Success" is destined to become a classic. Melodic, dynamic, organic, and best of all, timeless, Rilo Kiley deserves to be heard.

5.0 out of 5 stars still killing... Feb 25 2004
By D. Xie
Format:Audio CD
I'm not a big indie fan, or a big anything fan for that matter. I'll like a band or song here and there, but generally I shift through 'phases,' if you will, ranging from punk to rap to k-pop and opera. But I've absolutely adored Rilo Kiley since I first heard them about a year ago.

The vocals are amazing, with sort of an innocent sincerity, they're somehow absolutely profound. Coupled with relevant lyrics that either address new issues or put twists on cliche topics (lust, break ups, etc), the album's replay level is oddly high. I've whored it innumerable times and haven't even neared getting sick of it. Song structure also helps in making Rilo Kiley's sound distinguised and unique.

buy it! really!

5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing Mar 31 2003
By Noel
Format:Audio CD
Take-offs and Landings is the epitome of excellent. Carefully sculpted songs sung with fervor by Jenny Lewis and Blake Sennet. With simple lyrics that convey raw emotions and talented vocals this cd is perfect for any day or night. Highlights include the tracks "Science vs. Romance" and "Pictures of Success." They mix pop-folk, with indie-pop effortlessly. When Jenny sings "and sometimes planes they smash up in the sky and sometimes lonely hearts they just get lonelier" You believe her and you want to assure her. This is indie music at it's finest.
