I like one of their songs (Electric Feel, because it sounds like Prince, not that I'm really a Prince fan) but from everything else I've heard I agree that they are crap.

Fun House is the most overrated proto punk album there is, I actually find it rather boring, too many songs sound the same and half of them go on for too long, Ron Asheton is the last person who should do two minute guitar solos. I hate the production, there's a difference between lo fi production and production that makes the band sound like they're a mile away.

All 3 have come to pass though.U2 are commonly regarded as past-it,the shoegaze/dream pop revival has been uninspired for the most part, and anyone who went to secondary/high school knows all about metal fans.

I've only heard the self titled debut but it's awesome.

I'm not saying they have hi fi production or anything, but they have a full and fleshed out sound, they may be noisy and messy records, but it all sounds wonderful.
Fun House just sounds empty to me, the acoustics don't sound right, like the band are playing behind a wall or something. Don't get me wrong, the songs are still pretty good. Except Dirt is way too wanky and LA Blues is like a 5 minute ear rape. I just like Raw Power a lot more, there's more energy and the guitar has a thick and full sound and doesn't sound undermixed like on Fun House. |
