PO: Sleater-Kinney: Start Together Box Set (10/21)


Recommended Posts

You guys are looking at this wrong. Rather than hoping a different band does this, you should get into this band. They are better than a different band.

 

I do have fond memories of listening to 'Dig Me Out' ten years ago, but wasn't into any of their other albums. When the boxset was announced couple weeks ago, I took it as an opportunity to listen to their albums again and I didn't enjoy any of it. This time around even 'Dig Me Out' sucked for me  :D

 

Not to hate on this band in any way, they are decent musicians/songwriters and presumably fun people to be around, but it's not for me to throw money at.

I'm only asking because I'm curious: what specifically don't you like about Sleater-Kinney?

Essentially the vocals, the music and the lyrics.

Seriously though, the whole package that is Sleater-Kinney doesn't do anything for me. It's neither emotional, nor fun or interesting to listen to. I was expecting some kind of nostalgic 'good ol' times' fun factor when I listened to some stuff again, but there was nothing. Except me being slightly annoyed by Sleater-Kinney.

That being said, I hope all of you folks enjoy the box!

Wrong.

The music/everything and the Portlandia connection. Yuck.

Just curious again: When you say it's not emotional, do you mean it's not emotional to you, or there's no emotion in the music?

I could see how the vocals could turn some off. However, there are some SK tracks that are pretty hard to dislike..."you're no rock and roll fun" comes to mind. If there are early doubters based on their first few records but haven't yet made the leap, I would STRONGLY suggest giving The Woods a good listen.
