ok fair point I didn't do the reading thing
LCW comparison is buckwild but if he'd said We Were Dead/Ground Walks style MM I wouldn't really disagree with his point there. this has more in common with that Talking Heads wave indie than it does black midi (thankfully)

An abundance of guest vocalist would be welcome for the next album

Oh no this quirky rock album that people seem to love, that I don't love, is getting compared to a quirky rock album that I do love oh noooooo

I don't think the comparisons are with sound, but theme and emotion wise: quirky, anxious, manic
Y'all acting like it's getting compared to Carrie & Lowell or some shit
|
| |
are you suggesting that TLCW's acrid takes on small town poverty and gentrification inflate it into a metonym for "quirky, anxious, manic" music in the same way that sufjan's personal tragedy became a trope for contemp introspective sadcore?
because there's an easy answer to that

So you agree, you can compare the two
|
| |
if you insist on making awful misrepresentative comparisons against what is probably your better judgement, sure

I promise you TLCW will still be there even if modern things get compared to it

that's not the point. the point is that the comparison makes no sense, which i agree with

Makes sense to me so whatever

"Rock is as dead as jazz at this point"
So it's not dead?

Album Rating: 3.5
Imo all guitar music sounds the same
|
| |
@ghandhi Correct in that both genres are still producing interesting and valuable material, incorrect in that neither has any substantial potency as a cultural force
|
| |
All depends on what "dead" means, and in rock's case what "rock" means
|
| |
this does kinda sound like modest mouse at points but definitely not their indie stuff
