Mineral has some alright jamz but I wouldnt say that I especially like them or anything.

Boy's Life
Christie Front Drive

I don't know.

Cerulean, Christie Front Drive, Bells on Trike, Braid, The Promise Ring, and maybe The Gloria Record and Zookeeper.

^^ On top of cobs reccomendations you should be set for a while.

I always found Mineral extremely overrated. Different style, but Codeine always appealed to me way more in regards to slow stuff.

[QUOTE=Iluvatar;16931435]im kidding it rules change your opinion again plz[/QUOTE]

yeah its really freaking good

also, faiza's a total fox

Codeine is good though nothing like Mineral. Chris Simpson's lyrics and voice > all else. also Mineral's climaxes are perfect.

What's a band that sounds like Driftwood?

I feel like some of these bands don't sound like Mineral though. Yes, they are considered the same style of music, but The Promise Ring and Braid just don't sound like Mineral.

Bells on Trike + The Gloria Record do though.

I haven't listened to the Promise Ring in years.

their music doesn't have the same sound as Mineral but it has a similar feel to it. but really check out Cerulean. they sound a lot like Mineral.

FACT: I love The Promise Ring.

FAT: Ash.

he's lost a lot of weight

I didn't even know Ash is still alive. I assumed he was dead. Not sure why.

Thats kind of sad Justin lol.

Wait but I think Scott said the same of you or was that Jared?

everyone just assumed justin died

i was kind of hoping to be honest

i figured rehab, no offense

spence these extra peel session tracks are ill

hell yeah they are. rusholme bass owns me.

i just downloaded the sound of the smiths too

What's that?

Smiths compilation

Fire Team Charlie is good ****.

um mineral sounds just like sunny day real estate ben fyi

lol. I just wrote a review of EndSerenading here on sputnik arguing for why they do NOT sound like sdre.

mineral is like sdre with out of tune singing!

nah man. now I'm not gonna quote myself like a douche or anything, but to repeat some of what I said in my review,

SDRE owe a great deal to what was called "grunge" by the media. they have heavy chord progressions. their guitarists rely a lot on riffs, whereas Mineral's guitarists are more into that twinkly sensitive stuff. also the lyrics and vocals are nothing alike.

idk they definitely aren't the same but i'd totally call mineral closest to sdre. some mineral riffs sound so much like sunny day. what you say is true though they are more twinkly. but like if you took sdre, stripped down the production a ton, made it a little sloppier, had out of tune vocals...

**** would just be mineral i think...



i haven't listened to either in a while though so i am just basing this off of ideas i harbor from like months and months ago... or something

never could get into any of those midwest bands, unless the appleseed cast counts but I prefer their later material that doesn't resemble midwest stuff as much

@matt honestly I find SDRE to be a lot more radio friendly (verse/chorus/verse) in their structure, whilst Mineral are more progressive and climax-focused. I don't hear two awfully similar bands. but I guess I understand what you're aiming at.

i get that... sdre is WAY more radio friendly. probably why i like them more at this point... although i would've adamantly opposed that a year ago.

the choruses are still there for mineral. all the best mineral songs have awesome catchy verse/chorus/verse structure.

i'd say mineral is like for sure influenced by sunny day, and i think they sound really similar but i agree, there are still things that set them apart for sure.

yeah well I guess we can appreciate both bands for what they are. personally I'm for Mineral. Unfinished is too good.

i feel like i love a lot of songs by both but they both have songs that i think suck so much.

Have you heard the Troy Tate sessions?

[QUOTE=Matt?;16935022]um mineral sounds just like sunny day real estate ben fyi[/QUOTE]

[QUOTE=flesh;16935211]Have you heard the Troy Tate sessions?[/QUOTE]

Evergreen is so good.
