Members mike.sartori Posted April 9, 2008 Members Share Posted April 9, 2008 My friend is trying to tell me they are geniuses. If you like them, please don't post, only post if you think they are lame, crappy, boring, repetitive, crappy, unoriginal, unlistenable, or any other negative adjective.

Members SharkMinusBear Posted April 9, 2008 Members Share Posted April 9, 2008 My roommate always has them playing in his car.... definately repetitive and the singer sounds stupid. The only redeeming feature is the guitar harmonies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members mike.sartori Posted April 9, 2008 Author Members Share Posted April 9, 2008 what is the point of a discussion thread where people are only allowed to post validation of your insecure conclusions? Because I want to know who doesn't like them, not what everyone thinks about them. If you want open discussion, start your own thread.:soapbox: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Loobster Posted April 9, 2008 Members Share Posted April 9, 2008 I like them but Kele's voice takes a bit of getting used to. Silent Alarm has some stellar guitar playing on it though. Also, they're from just round the corner to me and went to the same school as several friends of mine...which is cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you want open discussion, start your own thread.:soapbox: and this will enhance a forum on guitar effects how? you're just looking for someone to pat you on the back and say that yes it can be cool to think this way. if your opinion is already solidified, i fail to see what you or anybody else is getting out of this, other than the peer validation that most of us are done striving for by high school.

Members Loobster Posted April 9, 2008 Members Share Posted April 9, 2008 Geniuses they aren't - that's a term which shouldn't be bandied around so whimsically, but they definitely have made some good music. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed. Not to mention their rythm section is SOLID. Drummer is great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members sdresdre Posted April 9, 2008 Members Share Posted April 9, 2008 first rec had exciting moments. the last record was SOOOOO bad. eating glass was a hot track from first rec. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Loobster Posted April 9, 2008 Members Share Posted April 9, 2008 I agree. No one can say that the playing on the first record isn't some good {censored}. The 2nd record is pretty bad in comparison, still has some good moments. Any of you Yanks like Maximo Park? Their first record is a brilliant British angular post-punk/indie record.

Members XanaduNEX Posted April 9, 2008 Members Share Posted April 9, 2008 They do some cool stuff with effects though. Nothing ground-breaking, just kinda nice departure from typical "indie rock" clean/fuzz stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members rocket34bg Posted April 9, 2008 Members Share Posted April 9, 2008 yeah, i can understand why people like them and why people don't like them. personally, i don't like them. but i've also realized if you look beyond the annoying drum beats and vocals, they actually have some decent songs in there. they just ruin it with their style (the style that got them popular...) check out tunng's cover of the pioneers. much better than bloc party's version. not that bloc party doesn't have talent.. they are just really good at destroying their music with their style Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
