Horrible. This guy barely knows 10 chords and somehow managed to headline one of the biggest festivals in Europe not even a year after he released his first album (on cassette, how cool) just because Pitchfork hyped him. This is proof that anybody can make it if pitchfork gives them best new music tag.
"Up On Your Leopard, Upon The End Of Your Feral Days" always makes me think about Feral Druids from WoW. He also mentions trinkets, hunters and loads of other stuff which can be found in WoW.
This guy is everywhere, stop it already. It is irritating enough reading digg and seeing news about this guy every day just cos he think he is some kind of a "revolutionary" in music. lol
Wow, so many hardcore fanboys here. Too bad.
Anyway, today SY does not sound any better than Psychedelic Horseshit and band from that scene. That is just embarrassing for them.
Do you want a reason? Ok here are some:
1. The sound of the whole record is very uninspired, bland and boring.
2. There are very little or almost no good melodies in the songs
3. There is no excitement in the noisy parts of songs
4. In conclusion: there are no good tunes, they can't write good songs anymore, it all sounds calculated and uninspired.
Pavement would probably sound like this (bland, boring, lifeless) if they had not quit after Terror Twilight. I am glad they did.
Ultimate crap. This band died after Washing Machine. But I understand them, everyone needs to make some money for living. But they can tour and get money without having the need to release crap like this. I still love you guys. :(
The melody in this song is not good enough. There are hundreds of mediocre GBV songs like this, but GBV actually managed to make a couple of masterpiece albums.
Kind of amateurish, he can make a couple of catchy tunes every 50 songs he makes. All in all, he will be forgotten in 2-3 years. This music has no permanent value but can be fun sometimes, like Crystal Castles.
