PC Music Posted September 4, 2013 Share Posted September 4, 2013 Much as some people weren't aware of the RoT hate, I didn't know this band qualified as a guilty pleasure for anyone. I'm just not seeing where the "guilty" part comes into play. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jhulud Posted September 4, 2013 Share Posted September 4, 2013 Sad to hear that people feel guilty about the music they enjoy listening to. Listen and enjoy what you want! No shame! No guilt! FTW! TheMoosen 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3arl Posted September 4, 2013 Share Posted September 4, 2013 Yeah they don't seem like a guilty pleasure type of band. This goes right into the wheelhouse of people who like loud guitars and pop, i.e. lots of people. Guilty pleasure is like if you listen to Celine Deon or Garth Brooks on the reg.

sinisterkidd Posted September 4, 2013 Share Posted September 4, 2013 Alexis is a babe, especially in Comeback Kid, Grimes is cuter though. Grimes is one creepy looking chick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

radiatorhums Posted September 4, 2013 Share Posted September 4, 2013 New song is pretty neutral for me. I don't dislike it, but I doubt I'll listen to it again outside of the confines of the album. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hipsterasfolk Posted September 4, 2013 Share Posted September 4, 2013 Love the new jam! This is probably one of the best bands I've worked security for in my life Alexis and the merch girl are some of the nicest cuties I've ever met in my life! And they like pugs <3 Don't know if I will PO or just snag this at the local shop when it comes out! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chuck Klosterman wrote a short essay on the subject, essentially saying the same thing. http://www.esquire.com/features/chuck-klostermans-america/ESQ1104-NOV_AMERICA I've read that essay (and others very similar to it), and completely agree with that notion. In general, I do listen to what I listen to regardless of its popularity or reputation. I enjoy listening to music with substance; and if original or well-written records are quality, nourishing listens... then Sleigh Bells are a sugary-sweet splurge, filled with empty calories. Let's be real: Derek's play-style and riffs are elementary at best. Alexis sings some horrible lyrics. The song structures are fairly repetitive, and follow a commercial-pop format. A good chunk of their music has a bratty-punk vibe that I find truly obnoxious. But at the end of the day, I still come back to them. I can acknowledge that I like 'em, even if they're not brilliant musicians. Even if they don't redefine everything I thought I knew about noise-pop. They are the king size Kit-Kat bar that resides in the cooled crisper of a health nut's refrigerator. Knowingly junk, but so damn good to divulge in every now and then.

nothingnatural Posted September 4, 2013 Share Posted September 4, 2013 I looked at this thread just to check out something I've never heard of. I'm highly disappointed. Also, I don't know what that Grimey thing is but it's a true shame what a once great label like 4AD has become. That is all, I'll be leaving now. Carry on. stopcrying 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sinisterkidd Posted September 17, 2013 Share Posted September 17, 2013 Hmm, I like the new song. Interested to hear the rest of the album. I wonder if its all kinda toned down compared to the previous albums Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
