10 Artists You Like And I Don't

Not trying to grind anyones gears here but these artists seem pretty popular on sputnik but after repeated attempts I still can't get into them. Enlighten me please!! I don't know if i'm missing something but they all seem to get good reviews yet they've done nothing for me. Help me out??

Untrue


I'm not much of a dubstep fan if i'm honest, theres only a handfull of artists who I'm into at the moment. But from the sounds of it this guy is pretty good, but on listening i just find it pretty plain tbh. Simple loops, simple samples, nothing i havent heard before. Am i missing something or is this bloke just hyped. Also koan sounds rule dubstep imo.
2Isis
wavering radiant


They sound pretty cool to me but they're made out to be some sort of godsend, i must be missing something.

bon iver, bon iver


Is this guy trying to say something and i'm missing the point? from the reviews i guess so. Don't take offense but at the moment it just sounds like a guy singing falsetto and blasting out chords.

In the aeroplane over the sea


I love the title track but after weeks of trying this album still hasn't done anything for me. I'm not sure whether its something genuinely unique and cool or just hipstep nonsense. There sure is a lot of ukelele covers from this album up on youtube :/

I know its blasphemy to speak ill of this album on sputnik so i should start off by saying I think its a really good album and they've got a pretty cool and unique sound. My only criticism is that its so pretentious. I mean the lyrics are cyptic to the point that no one can interpret them and its full of weird ideas like basing a drum beat around some random digits of pi. What i'm saying really is that this band are musicians, not philosophers, mathematicians and prophets. I guess i just want to know if everyone takes it as seriously as tool take it or just enjoy it for its for its sheer WHOOOOaaaooaa factor. Good album, not dissin'.

the devil and god are raging inside me


To me they just don't seem to have much going for them that most bands in there genre don't. I'd really like to know why this band are so respected i really feel like i'm missing out on this one.

the incident


Steven wilson is clearly a pretty talented bloke but he needs to cheer up and get over the fact the seventies are over. This is another album i enjoy but i really thing is steve put his mind to it he could write something much much better.

This album was strongly recommended to me by a friend and after a good few tries......nothing. I'd really like to get into this one but it seems like its not happening.
