my love for UNWOUND
 

holy shit.... i love them too much.

listening to terminus off Leaves Turn Inside right now. i think this is possibly the last ever song i want to listen to before i die.

Some dude on here was selling a lot of CD's and I bought Unwound's discography off him. Probably one of the best musical decisions I've made, I personally think that they are an incredibly underrated band. I never dug Leaves Turn Inside You, I prefer their punkish, 90's music.

[sigh]

I love Unwound. Always have. LEAVES TURN is amazing though.

(short version of long version that everyone on here has read already)

Yeah, Leaves Turn is a masterpiece, definitely my favorite by them.

Fantastic band, criminally underrated.

hahahaha, thanks Adam

I like the "why did Unwound break up?" thread the most.

Very brisk read right there.

i have repetition and new plastic ideas on wax. need to get the future of what next.

new plastic ideas is a great album, never got any futher then that. Still have to do that.

I've been listening to Unwound a lot, since they're a recent discovery for me. Current favorites are New Plastic Ideas, Repetition and Leaves Turn Inside You. This one left me in awe right on the first time, really.

My current favorite is Repitition, but that could change.

amazing band, very cohesive output. Powerful and weird.

I haven't really listened to much of them outside of Leaves Turns, and even then I haven't in a long time. I love their song um.. Dragnalus I think it's called. They're like an edgier Fugazi kind of? I dunno, but I should try to get back into them.

Highly listenable band. Generally I find myself becoming bored with even my favorite bands, Sonic Youth included here, after multiple listens but this doesn't happen with Unwound.

That said, they do have a fair share of mediocre songs and a handful of terrible tunes but that's to be expected.

huh, they COULD stand side to side in a record collection, but still very different.

I cant find any downloads for them at mininova, megadownload or thepiratebay :/

my favourite

This thread got me back into Unwound all over again.

Fake Train FAKE TRAIN Fake TRAIN FAKE TRAIN FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK!

Fake Train would have to be my second favourite, for sure. Valentine Card/Kantina/Were, Are and Was or Is is so awesome

I love unwound.. I think i'm the only person partial to challenge though... I'm also talking abou the cd version with the extra track because i like the way if you listen to it start to finish it goes from like a songy type album slowly into noise. Also took me a while to get into leaves also but really love that too and fake train... Excellent band. I was hoping flora v fauna was going to release somthing.

challenge is great stuff.

Unwound’s discography rivals Fugazi’s for sheer, non-stop awesomeness and constant evolution. Not a dud in the pack, and both bands ended on the highest of high notes.

In that alternate universe where the Velvet Underground became the biggest thing in the world and the Beatles were relegated to the underground, Unwound surely swapped spots with Nirvana.

^Correct

Thanks :)
