LOL at the "not Wolfmother" addition Dougie.



And yeah, while I'm certain that music elitists would scoff at your comment, I have always said that it is under-valued when an artist can make what is usually a niche musical genre so accessible & successful. I do believe MGMT can lay claim to that to some extent.

I strongly agree with what you just said. Lets just hope they can do the same with the upcoming release; which coincidently just got posted in the news.

You know me Douglas, always championing the accessible/mainstream side of things.

Yeah, you seem to do that a lot.

Great example with Rise Against Dougie, although (as you know from my avatar), I'd lean more towards TS&TW on that side of things.

This is a pretty bad album

"Band has really grown off me" Since you saw them live, right?



"metanoia is better. " Do you mean their B-Side? I actually haven't heard it.



"This is a pretty bad album" In context, I have to disagree. As I have said, it does a great job in making this type of music accessible.

yeah the b-side is pretty sweet. I like a lot of songs off of this but it hasn't been as appealing as it used to be. Still a good album though in my opinion

I'll have to hunt it down I guess. Ta for the reco.

Agreed that there are a number of recycled ideas on this album Lewis. The first part of your argument is a holier than thou generalization however.

Don't worry, being on staff will probably wear me down eventually. Then, you can make me rise without even trying. Hang on a tick, that came out wayyyyy wrong. ;-)
