dawhizz Posted February 6, 2014 Share Posted February 6, 2014 I'm gonna get killed for this but: Modest Mouse People I love love them. I've listened to the albums. I've seen them live. I. Don't. Get. It. Hate the lead singer's voice and don't find them sonically interesting in the least. Also, while I don't hate them, I consider the National incredibly boring and wish all their songs were like Abel. Big Country 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jhook Posted February 6, 2014 Share Posted February 6, 2014 I bought my wife the Christmas album as a joke a couple Christmas' s ago. She got pissed it's sitting on the floor in the back seat of her car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted February 7, 2014 Share Posted February 7, 2014 frank turner. people, around here at least, go apeshit for the guy. his solo stuff doesn't even hold a candle to someone like, oh i don't know, kevin devine.. it especially irks me because the local "indie folk" radio station plays the former on a regular basis, and i've never once heard the latter. blasphemy.

deafening Posted February 7, 2014 Share Posted February 7, 2014 She and Him is some of the worst shit I have ever heard. It's pretty painful to try and sit through more than half a song. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Princess Logan Posted February 7, 2014 Share Posted February 7, 2014 I think Zooey is a great singer but maaaan I don't really know what's going on with She & Him. That Christmas album is painful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thebiglebowski Posted February 7, 2014 Share Posted February 7, 2014 Why do we need a "brand new question" thread and a "brand new discography tour" thread and "the official brand new" thread and a "Brand New - Deja Entendu" thread I'm not trying to be the "everything needs one thread and shame on you for not searching guy" but enough Brand New already...Just go find a brand new message board. I'm sure one exists. codeine 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted February 7, 2014 Share Posted February 7, 2014 i'll field this one i started the official thread as a means of avoiding that. it didn't work. and then i forgot about it. so it really didn't work. the discography tour thread needs to die. "waahhh i didn't get tickets and that guy's selling a hundred!" and don't tell me you didn't laugh your ass off at the bowls. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HadItUpToHere Posted February 7, 2014 Share Posted February 7, 2014 Pearl Jam. I have never heard one Pearl Jam song that didn't piss me off. I hate that guys freaking voice. It puts me to sleep and makes me angry at the same time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Out of Breath Records Posted February 7, 2014 Share Posted February 7, 2014 I don't even need to talk shit. Edit: Yeah some of those lower lineup bands are alright, but seriously don't try and tell me this is worth a penny. 2nd Edit: JK I'd pay a penny to laugh at scene kids.

Guest Posted February 7, 2014 Share Posted February 7, 2014 Pearl Jam. I have never heard one Pearl Jam song that didn't piss me off. I hate that guys freaking voice. It puts me to sleep and makes me angry at the same time. i always wondered how they reached fame in the first place. growing up, i always just accepted it, because "hey, they're a staple of grunge rock. whatever." but who.. at any point in their emergence.. heard his voice and said "yeah, that's alright!"??

aflycon Posted February 7, 2014 Share Posted February 7, 2014 I know I'm new here so it doesn't mean much, but I do have quite an opinion on this: A rule of thumb for me is that if the band's name could have been taken from an angsty middle-schooler's book of poetry, 11 times out of 10 they're bad. Of Mice and Men, Being As An Ocean, Asking Alexandria, We Came as Romans, Bring Me the Horizon, Motionless in White... etc. (Also applies to album titles: In the Aeroplane Over the Sea) Now, those bands I named are considerably worse than the one album, but the point is still there. There's some kind of fixation in recent years with applying a depth to music that just isn't there, but all of the scene kids (and "hipsters" in the case of ITAOTS) seem to think it's "so deep" or "inspirational" or "transcends genre." It's not that we "don't get it," it's not there. Edit: Now that I look through it, almost every band on that "South by So What" list fits the bill. Lo and behold they're all "shit core."

Lo and behold they're all "shit core." this defense isn't coming from a place of "what the fuck is wrong with you, aeroplane is perfect" (even though, what the fuck is wrong with you, aeroplane is perfect) but i think your point about writing off album titles as a means of portraying depth is just retarded. it's supposed to be deep because it has more than 3 words? and it's not deep because they're "trying too hard"? it just seems like a giant miss, especially since your only example is a wonderfully crafted, full, concise body of work.

Lo and behold they're all "shit core." Hahah scene kid music is terrible, but the worst is when they cross over into respectable band territory and give that a bad name. I don't really mind Neutral Milk Hotel, not a fan at all. But it's generic indie/folk pop/rock. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thebiglebowski Posted February 7, 2014 Share Posted February 7, 2014 I think Explosions In the Sky kinda fits that list of names. I saw a preorder thread for some dude going by "alcoa" and thought "why would you want to name yourself after an industrial aluminium company?" Dumb name. No comment on these guys music, though. Not familiar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he's just referring to mainly the list of bands above, I wouldn't diss any album for trying to have depth due to their title, but generally it's a turn off for me when bands are called something like "Bring Me the Horizon". It just instantly conjures up an image of sweaty, acne-ridden, eyeliner-wearing, fried hair, sickly scene children with weird shitty neon tattoos. I won't even give a band that's called something like that a chance. I refuse to listen to a song. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted February 7, 2014 Share Posted February 7, 2014 i am certainly guilty of completely dismissing bands on their names alone. the eye-blood inducing tshirt wall at hot topic is very much to blame for this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
