TheGhostOfRandySavage Posted January 24, 2016 Share Posted January 24, 2016 meh. I really don’t understand all the hate for their newer albums. MM is by far my favourite band. I got into them after hearing good news, which isn’t my favourite now, but damn, those first four songs get me every time. I guess their albums are what people say about their children, they love them all (but still have a favourite). I especially don’t understand people who hate on Moon & Antartica… yeah there’s some songs that are ok, but there are also some songs that I will blast and play over and over again… talking shit about a pretty sunset, a different city, alone down there, lives, etc. Their newer stuff is a lot more cleaned up and produced and has a little bit more of a positive vibe, which I kind of refreshing sometimes I don't think I've ever once heard someone talk shit about The Moon and Antarctica.

floyd_z Posted January 24, 2016 Share Posted January 24, 2016 I have. Maybe not so much on here, but on other MM forums. It probably still doesn't get as much hate as their newer albums though. I think No Ones First is my least favourite even though it is technically just an EP. I thought strangers was kind of a turn back to their older stuff and would say it exceeded my expectations. Who knows... Interpol put out a mediocre album after Antics and then a horrible album after that and then came out with El Pintor, which was solid as hell.

floyd_z Posted January 24, 2016 Share Posted January 24, 2016 Disagree. Ok so I went back and started listening to Our Love to Admire and I forgot that it actually is a really good album. S/t is pretty bad though, nothing sticks with me. lethalenforcer 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lethalenforcer Posted January 24, 2016 Share Posted January 24, 2016 Ok so I went back and started listening to Our Love to Admire and I forgot that it actually is a really good album. Victory!! Glad you revisited it - always thought OLTA was an album people took for granted. Very underrated. floyd_z 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shelby Posted January 24, 2016 Share Posted January 24, 2016 I don't think I've ever once heard someone talk shit about The Moon and Antarctica. Not anyone reputable at least. And Talking Shit definitely isn't on that album guy up there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shelby Posted January 24, 2016 Share Posted January 24, 2016 And all Interpol albums have been great Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derek™ Posted January 24, 2016 Share Posted January 24, 2016 Yeah, as someone who only really got into MM and their discography last year, I have to say that TM&A is sublime from start to finish. I've only ever heard good opinions about it, too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
floyd_z Posted January 24, 2016 Share Posted January 24, 2016 Not anyone reputable at least. And Talking Shit definitely isn't on that album guy up there. Yeah, well, ya know.... that's just like... you're opinion man Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shelby Posted January 24, 2016 Share Posted January 24, 2016 Yeah, well, ya know.... that's just like... you're opinion man What so you think it's bad now?

DecayToDeath Posted January 24, 2016 Share Posted January 24, 2016 . He edited it to be a period, so just in case anyone was curious, it said something like this: "Both or all three of those bands are garbage" Not sure what he means by not specifying the amount of bands he hates, but whatever.

kevbayer Posted January 24, 2016 Share Posted January 24, 2016 What i meant was this is pages of off topic stuff about bands that , in my opinion, are popular but mediocre at best, that could probably be better had somewhere else. But I knew that would make someone butt hurt so erased it. Thank you for proving me right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derek™ Posted January 24, 2016 Share Posted January 24, 2016 And with that, another game of Found the Pleb has come to a satisfying conclusion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sad Heart Posted January 25, 2016 Share Posted January 25, 2016 I don't like Modest Mouse, at all, but I'm going to waste my time coming in talking shit while everyone is talking them up. If I were going to say anything I would say, they aren't great, they aren't horrible. I can respect them as musicians, but they just aren't for me. And end it at that. The short version "just doesn't do it for me". This was my one exception (have to be a fool to deny how catchy this song is): Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derek™ Posted January 25, 2016 Share Posted January 25, 2016 Which Modest Mouse records have you checked out, Matt? I personally didn't think I liked them for the longest time because I had only been subjected to their later material, for years. (And even now, it still doesn't do a whole lot for me.) The earlier stuff hooked me hard over the last year or so, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
