Album Rating: 4.5

review doesn't really seem that negative



just like yr jane doe review you don't really criticize the music but the idea behind the music and the scene it's a part of. you say this album signals the end of indie, like that's a bad thing

Album Rating: 3.0

3 strikes and you're out. Choosing As the Roots Undo, Jane Doe, and now this album proves that you just have a fake agenda against popular "sputnik" albums. This is a fucking joke and you're nothing more than a troll to me, regardless of what I really think about this album.

Album Rating: 5.0

fake agenda

Album Rating: 4.0

haha thor are you serious

I don't think you do enough in this to justify your rating, that said, very well written review and I would like to see you do some more obscure or less obvious albums.

Personally I have never got round to listening to this, I've heard "my girls" and fucking hated it, but I do need to give it a chance sometime.

Fake agenda

Good review

"But yeah I really stopped listening to new music circa 2004 so I feel pretty vague on where the "scene" is presently at"

...Yet you justify your rating by claiming that MPP is the death of indie-pop. How can you do this when you don't even know where the scene is presently at?

I've never heard the album, been wanting to lately.

Album Rating: 2.5

Honestly, i could never get into this album either. I don't HATE it though; it was made very clearly on my first listen that the band spent god-knows how much time meticulously crafting every little detail of it. It's well-made music.... it's just not very GOOD music, in my opinion. It's rare that i say that about an album. I can usually appreciate something like this, but..... it just drones on and on and on, and isn't very exciting or interesting..... Although, so this doesn't sound like a generalization, i really do like My Girls. I don't think it's deserving of all the praise it's gotten, but needless to say, it IS a good track.

Nice review.

I can honestly see this album becoming a 1.5 or 1 for me eventually. Much as I still think Summertime Clothes is as good as it always was, the rest of the album grates so damn much and the hype is slaughtering it in my head. I know objectively it's not a 1 and I'd never review it as such but it's highly likely that in 6 months time I won't be able to listen to this record at all.

you guys are killin me here

Alongside the concurrent emo/screamo/hardcore scene (which had its own roots in punk, metal, and pop punk), the new indie scene flourished in the first half of the decade and steadily gained steam going into the second. Hipster subculture – which had survived only in small urban pockets through the 1990s – expanded rapidly, developing its own distinct fashion and ethos. White suburbanites sported big glasses, v-neck shirts, flannels, and carefully mismatched clothes; the men grew beards and mustaches. In those years, when resistance to "corporate greed" and the Bush administration was in vogue, they cultivated an interest in bike culture, veganism, and a generally pseudo-bohemian lifestyle in housing co-ops or some shithole flat in Brooklyn.
