- This is great
If you, like me, discovered this group because of your love for the older Rilo Kiley sound, you will be pleased. It's not the same sound, but all of the parts of the good old Rilo Kiley is there, but now with a few other ingredients. It's unique from Rilo Kiley, but close enough to ensure you'll enjoy it. There is a lot of anger on this album, submerged in usually mellow slow songs, but I find it very good listening.
Hey, and you can't beat the pig on the front of the album...I mean, come on!
- Best CD you can buy here for a penny
This is the best album from The Elected, and that is saying a lot since "Sun sun sun" and "Bury me in Rings" are very very VERY good indie/folk albums.

- Amazing album that hasn't left my playlist
The Elected's Me First is music that grows on you with every listen. From the first track to the last, you will be amazed.
I'm very much looking forward to the Elected's new release in January, Sun, Sun Sun.

- Don't miss it.
To be brief: Brilliant song writing, perfect execution. Lyrical and edgy at the same time. A wonderful experience.

- best cd of 2004 so far
Ok, I know its early in the year, but this cd has the potential to make everyones top 10 list for 2004. Its amazing. ALright, the type of music is kinda like folkly pop indie rock. I'm tryin to think of some bands to compare too, but I'm drawin a blank right now, the lead singer does sound kinda similar to Conner somethingorother from BRIGHT EYES.
Anyways, every song on this cd is good, no wait, AMAZING, seriously folks, I speak the truth. If I had to pick a favorite song, I'd pick 'greetings in braille' but its a close call. Anyways, buy this cd, you won't regret it. And if you do, you can come on over and kick me in the belly.
