What Mongi said. Listening to this while driving during a storm is great.

As well as skinny fists which I prefer. But yea also Keith is right. Since you like heavier music maybe you expected more cause of that? Either way def try it again sometime.

I dont air guitar! I desk drum!
And trust me thats not how I go into everything I listen to. I like plenty of mellow music. And I can listen to classical till the night blows easy!
I dont think the gloomy day idea would work either. There really is just nothing there for me with this.
But come on, at least I gave it a try right!

Yea. At least you heard it once but I still rec trying it again in the future. Maybe you'll like Lift your Skinny Fists a little better which is a little more different and chilling as a whole. You guys think he'll like Skinny Fists more?

I've always seen Skinny Fists as the least accessible. Most of my friends I show this to like that one last. I suggest Slow Riot. It's much more straight up music and less ambiance that I guess you find boring. If you can get into that, then yeah, check out Skinny Fists because it's there best album.

This is almost the exact same thing I was thinking while reading that post but didn't post
Except I was thinking the tallest man on earth
what's your point? being able to enjoy more complex doesn't somehow negate my experience with music that's more simplistic if it's still incredibly well-done in other aspects like the national, gaslight anthem, tallest man
is that what you're implying?

I will, at some point listen to another one of their albums. Probably tomorrow as my work day is almost over. I will give them one more chance.

I will add that Skinny Fists is a lot heavier in more ways than one idk if that makes it sound more appealing for you. But if you don't like that or even their ep, oh well. Godspeed obviously isn't for everyone.

can almost 100% guarantee that you won't like them
more complex music takes patience, or maybe some better context to listen to them (I used to like reading decent reviews that provided a different approach to an album and I'd appreciate it more, sometimes), or another context in just a better understanding of the genre, its history

I mean sure some of its underlying influences and shit are undeniably "heavy" but coming from a background limited to music like Tool and Deftones this guy is gonna go "hmmmm I don't hear many guitars!" "they're not playing very fast!" or "it's been quiet for 2 minutes!!" and not think twice about it

I think you've missed half the conversation. I dont have to have guitars and drums all the time. I'm perfectly fine without them, I'm not all metal all the time. But it has to grab me somehow. And I'm perfectly fine with complex music, but from what I listened to on this album there is nothing complex about it. Throwing together random sounds with simple music elements does not qualify as complex to me.

yea probably completely
though I hesitate to rec him shit like that because the last thing God Is An Astronaut or Russian Circles or *insert shitty generic post-rock band* needs is more fans

Well you'd never know. But in Skinny Fists the crescendos are dealt with in a totally different way at
least in my opinion. If you want, look up World Police and Friendly Fire. One of the best songs from
the record. Or Sirdrum I wrote a review for it a while back if you want read that too to get a sense
of what it's like from my perspective.

No... I get that you don't need guitars (and lol at somehow thinking that guitars + drums = metal, or me equating any of your taste with metal specifically, but anyway...). And I'm simply saying that the reason this isn't 'grabbing' you is, because coming from a background or lack thereof such as yours there's almost always a little effort needed to appreciate music like this, as silly as that sounds, because it's much more complex (not in terms of "moar gutars" lol) in terms of structure and atmosphere and aim and tone and etc. and its appeal is much more subtle at first but also much more lasting and resonant.
It sounds like "random sounds with simple music elements" to you because of your really limited experience and scope of taste.
Can you imagine me never hearing a saxaphone before and then listening to Miles Davis and going "HEY WHERE IS THE CHORUS AND Y NO LYRICS??" -- that's basically what you're doing here.
If I take the time to learn about the genre's particularities, backgrounds, aims and complexities, I would probably appreciate that Miles Davis song much more.
