4.5/5 on tiny mix tapes

it's getting slagged off all over the internet, you multi-lingual posters. maybe the world finally came to realise that music with no heart or soul is a waste of time.

hahahahah!!!!!! That is EXACTLY IT!

That is what was missing from goddamn strawberry jam and shit! The music has no heart nor soul. it is a goddamned fucking clinical etude in indie rockin'.

I'd rather listen to Motorhead

They might be giants.

me too, rob. give me motorhead over this bunch of record collection shits anytime!

or just shit.:)

Ah, you kids and your leather jacket pool parties and...

i think that's the only thing i will like about this album. my computer is still broke so i can't dl it and i doubt i would dl ac anyway. there's no way in hell i would ever buy an ac album, so i will most likely never hear this.

for the record i don't like ac except for one song off "feels". i can't even fake liking them to girls on dates.

say what you will, but the part in bold is just wrong... i don't see how you could know more about them than i do... but if you do, how did you find out they have no heart?

by listening to them? maybe, you know, like, maybe. Rob likes some awful shit, mind.

it is a FEELING, just like laughter.
and just as valid.

animal collective albums sound soulless. they do not make my blood pump. they do not give me that musical rush i seek.

you can't cringe, you're a robot.

it is all personal taste anyways.

I just do not hear the appeal that makes everyone lick the cockcheese from AC's foreskin.

you haven't even listened to it and you get all defensive? you're not a robot, you're just lame. i seem to remember you also like to keep up with what's cool with the kids these days, right? hmm...

As much as I disagree with Rob on this particular album, he's right. Music evokes a feeling, and if it doesn't sound right to you, it just doesn't. No big deal.

NO BIG DEAL. exactly

If you love AC then love them. I love sonic youth and 95% of the people in my life cannot figure out why. doesn;t bother me.

I love sarramkrop and the two Johns from They Might Be Giants are AGHAST!

you listen to a record just to be contrary? what are you, a paedo or something?

AC play toy-sounding music. I can see how they appeal to you.

I used to feel the exact same way about them. After giving them a lot of chances, though, melodies that came across as annoying to me the first few times suddenly seemed welcome and I found their music to have some pretty interesting texture to it. Weird thing. It's very rare that I give a band I despise a lot of chances either, but it worked with Beefheart, so I guess good things happen sometimes.

I can definitely understand where yr coming from, though. Even if I like them now, a lot of their stuff indeed does lack soul.

Yeah, but Captain Beefheart and his Magic Band are the greatest band of all time. So, I could see giving them infinite number of chances... but AC? I dunno. I like them, but really, they're just a melodically-pleasing pop band with experimental structures and production. Not really that big of a deal. I wouldn't give em a bunch of chances, life's too short; you can be listening to OUR BROTHER THE NATIVE instead...
