oh yeah this is the band with the girl from portlandia with the big mouth that screams her songs devoid of melody, concept or general meaning. great. i think this band's whole discography qualifies as WORST records from start to finish.
It's fun. NOT FUN. stereogum. Tired of the bashing on them and mumford and sons. They were nominated for a GRAMMY! Still no respect? Its a freakin' GRAMMY! Helloooooooooooooooo! say what you want about it, its still pop sure. but its got amazing harmonies that could teach bon iver a thing or too ( especially since his last record) and it manages to be as edgy as foster the people in the pop department whil still having something to say to contemporary pop charts. seriously, whens the last time you heard a band that was THIS big on melody??? exactly. im not indie much although yeah i dress indie but for heavens sake, look at the music that this blog likes.....lack of melody. fun. is BIG on melody and the beatles were too. im not saying there the next beatles, but these indie scuzz bands that make noise and drone ( yeah sonic youth and pavement) dont have any bit of song as memopriable as we are young thats as big on melody. so yes, my rant whatever but wake up stereogum peeps-music supposed to be about MELODY. They were robbed. chris should do a fun. appreciateion in defense of just like he did for my boys in mumford and sons.
SO WE'RE GIVING LIP SERVICE PRAISE TO A BAND THATS RIPPED OFF OWL CITY AND ONLY CAUSE OWL CITYS BEEN POPULAR AND DEATH CAB IS NOT SO HOT ANYMORE, TIME TO RELEASE NEW "MUSIC"? NO THANKS GIBBARD. RATHER HEAR OWL CITY THEN THIS SYNTHY SHINY PLASTIC FART SNIFFING MUSIC.
Frank Ocean can't write anything! Its all autotuned garbage from the I-Mac folders of better producers like fill in blank. Even Jay Z and Beyonce can write better then him and should have won a grammy. Tired of people defending frnak oceans music as so reactionary, so revolutuonary, so bla bla bla. So boooooooooooring. Snoozing all the way through its autotuned jungle of repetition. Even his daddy probably doesnt like it. Rather listen to Jay Z. Whats my man Jack White doing at the grammys anyway.....? Stuuuuuuuuuuuuupid show, like duh!
The strokes havn't been relevant since thir modern ages L.P. Even then it was just a quick cash grab to emulate the white stripes self titled. They put THE in their name. These pampered sissy boys from the village writing "edgy" songs, rippin off television and the white stripes and boom- daddy ( casablancas dad is elite modeling agency big shot) buys them into columbia and hence they ride the cresting wave of musical populism of the 00s when all the better bands ( the vines, the stripes, ect) got lumped into them too. this song sounds like poo poo.
