I'm sorry, next time instead of saying what I think on the album i'll say what I think about them as a band, because thats more important in music right?

Thats my point, you didn't even critique the f*cking album. You just threw around your average insults and vague/incorrect generalisations about Zep.

generalizations*

Weren't you just getting on me about not knowing anything about the band and that was the problem? Now its I didn't critique every individual track? I'm sorry but critiquing every track is kind of a boring review especially when I have similar thoughts on them all which usually involves plant sounding fucking annoying or the music being your typical classic cock rock anthem or just some annoying acoustic driven song like Going to California.

I agreed with everything Ronson said up until this point. Eminem, WTF?

This basically told me everything I needed to know. Some shitty British Indie band that no one will even remember in 4 years shitting all over an album that's been a classic for 40 years.


I like Is This It? a lot, but is it even really a classic to anyone other than NME readers or something? Battles dude is right about all their personal history, but who really cares? This is a pretty fun garage rock album that didn't really change anyone's life, and that's that. Also, I'm pretty sure most of the people who do love this album won't really care that they're a bunch of rich kids or that Casablancas is an asshole or whatever.

I like Franz Ferdinand's first album a bunch too, but fuck this guy. The Strokes, for real? The Strokes are basically a gigantic VU/Television hybrid, and all they're doing is aping them, not making it better or whatever Kapranos thinks. Seriously, I'm not even sure what he's thinking right here.

Speaking of non-classics, this? Funeral isn't even a fucking classic, but now apparently this is? I agree with most of this assessment anyway. I tend to sort of flip-flop on their first album, sometimes I like it a lot, sometimes I hate it, but Neon Bible sucked with the exception of like, two songs. Also, people are always saying how much "Indie fans" or whoever love this band, but the only person I know who loves them only loves them out of some weird sense of hometown pride, but aren't only two of these guys from Montreal anyway?

So the Arcade Fire don't even deserve to be written about is what I'm trying to say.

The Hold Steady really annoyed the shit out of me until I saw them live. They were really fun, and I don't really care about the Doors, so that's all I'm really going to say.

Well, I guess I should probably point out that he's totally right about Doors and parties and shit, they're pretty much the pivotal "I'm a teenager and I think I have good taste in music because I like a really classic band" band.

I agree that this is their worst album, but who really cares what the guy from the 1990s thinks?

The sound of Modest Mouse is essentially this. Take one formula, one format for a really really really really really really REALLY annoying song, and make it EVERY song.

All Modest Mouse songs have the same exact format. A military style drum beat, a two note bassline, a one/two chord guitar riff with an annoying Nursery rhyme melody and a tone like a cell phone, a mellotron that sounds like a beaten up Accordion made from junk and played by a 2 year old with cerebral palsy and of course the vocals, which can best be described as a Captain Beefheart robot that can sing only one note, and sings in the exact same key in every song, following the rhythm yet still sounding disgustingly off key and off time. And the robot always malfunctions, has a lisp, and comes off sounding like Daffy Duck doing a very poor Moose impersonation.

Add in some half assed, pretentious semi-nihilistic bullsh*t lyrics and ta da. Modest Mouse.

Plant can sing? That annoying wailing is considered singing?

I don't see the point, you're wrong. In order to judge what every MM song sounds like you'd have to have heard every one and you've only heard M&A and Good News. Sad Sappy Sucker alone would prove you're wrong.
