The Academy Is...

[karokesuperstar]

Did anyone check out The Academy is feature on mtvu this past week? They were the house band and posted up a ton of different segments. Here is the link: http://www.mtvu.com/music/house_band/ Worth checking out if you’re a fan. I definitely love this band

I've never really understood the hype about this band. They are bland and boring, IMO.

[Dinosawesome]

I like them.

[DJ Ducksauce]

I loved Almost Here. I haven't really listened to Santi, should I?

Same.

I never got into them but it seems like everyone LOVES them.

Their only colorful song is "Black Mamba" and even that gets kinda boring after a while...

Santi > Almost Here so much- 'Seed' and 'Chop Chop' are such brilliant songs.

Give it a few listens though, I didn't like it at all until I'd forced myself through the albums four or five times.

[GreyHam]

i got to see them last year, nothing about them excited me at all

[BridgeToSolace]

You'll like anything if you listen to it enough.

The point is that you don't WANT to listen to it enough to get to that point. Why would you possibly force yourself to listen to music you didn't like four or five times?

But yeah, I'm not big on them.

[Mute Print]

Saw them last night. Really good band.

[cobert]

I agree with all the 'dont get the hype' people.

[Grohlthegreat]

the only song i truly like by them is season, apart from that they're ok.

[Ganondorf]

Almost Here was a pretty good album, haven't heard Santi yet, dosen't bother me either way to be honest.

[CommieCanada]

almost here and checkmarks are the only songs by them that i like
