They don’t. (Have balls.)

These songs sound great. Reminds me of some of the anthems from You Forgot It In People.

Lindsay Weir?

Sounds a little like Ugly Casanova.

I think this is effing good. Sound quality and picture are excellent. Hype or no hype, nothing coming out this year will be as memorable. I have the vinyl and it really is a pretty piece of art.

I like the album. It’s solid, nothing groundbreaking. I was hoping for a more proggy album, something more along the lines of Loose Fur. Maybe safe, but some pretty songs nonetheless.

Once Matt Sharp left, this band decided to sabotage their careers. Those first two albums are CLASSIC.

Jack White looks like St. Vincent.

The drummer is amazing-as we know from his playing with Modest Mouse. Are those splash cymbals I hear? In INDIE ROCK? I always say, bring on the splash.

Doesn’t look like a Wilco album..maybe a Beirut cover?? Camels..and gypsy tambourines. I like it. Still, Yankee Hotel Foxtrot has to be one of the finer looking vinyls.

I think Animal Collective translates better in the headphone world. The Panda Bear album is something that I love to listen to when I jog or hike through the northwest, but when I tried watching his live dvd, I couldn’t make it through it.

Saying all that, there was no error in this performance. This is a different album with a different live approach. I thought the vocals were on point. If I’m going to pay to see them live, I would like to see the guitar/drums version of the band. Just a preference thing.

Not used to hearing the instruments overpower the vocals. It seems that on television performances, it’s the other way around. I get so tired of watered down drums.

Emerson, Lake, and Palmer are mystics.

I’ve observed several posts where a band is judged on one performance. I know quick disposal is the “it” thing for the web but Grizzly Bear are here to stay. This isn’t a case of a stylized hype band that is on the cover of NME and washing dishes the next day.
