how is it forced :o
just because it's prepared to prove it and is sometimes over-the-top doesn't make it fake/artificial
|

It's catchy, but it sounds like one of those indie records that indie kids love because they haven't heard other people do this better.
|
| |
truth
|

Then that would be something to commend the band on, how is it desperate?

Hmm, it comes across differently to me. Like I said in the review, it seems when I listen like a kind of don't-look-back hopefulness, obviously life isn't always amazing and Ruess has had his fair share of shit if you believe what he wrote with the Format, but instead of a disguise/parody I hear it as more of a straightforward 'so fucking what'. I get what you're saying, though, I guess it's just a case of how your perspective sits.
|
| |
being serious though i'm pretty much struggling to get what you're saying in that post above, especially the last half
i get the "intentionally overhappy to show some kind of denial of your true emotions" thing, but i'm not really sure what you're talking about with the last track and the gambler?

Yah I know. The happiness thing is more the effect it has on me/apparently a lot of other people. As a whole listen the record kicks sadness's ass.
|
| |
I suppose this does have an Elliott Smith "cynical joy" sound on some of the songs, but I don't hear anything forced, just overrated.

How many times have you listened though, scyther?
|
| |
I listened twice, "Walking The Dog" is my favorite so far.
|
| |
oh ok that makes sense yeah
that's definitely an interesting perspective. much...deeper than most people would have it. i think they'd just assume it's 'normal happy' and move on. as for me, i'll have to look into this one.

Yah I'm pretty sure The Gambler is about his own family, and it's self-reference when he says 'he believes we're all just lovers, he sees hope in everyone.' It just doesn't come across to me as forced happiness previous to that; I'm trying right now to hear it. Every song is either ridiculously happy or has a lyric that implies taking something positive from an experience whatever it was like (e.g. "but we owe it to ourselves to try, so we aim and ignite...")
Haha, glad somebody finally disagreed with me about that

Yeah no matter how good this is, not sure why you'd want to 'forget' the beach boys.
or does that mean 'forget the comparisons to'
because the beach boys own

I thought it was fairly obvious it was just like, "forget about them temporarily," I'd never want to actually forget them, don't be silly. It's a turn of phrase implying this is better/as good.
|
| |
ok whatever
i'm not sure this album would make me want to forget the beach boys in ANY way but whatever
