Albums You're Not Digging

I think they're both good, but when clubbing the releases from both bands together, Who Will Cut Our Hair... remains my favourite.

I could never be bothered with the Who Will Cut Our Hair album, but Return to the Sea I found listenable. I think they are the case of a group improving over time.

Well, I'll trust you. I'm not such an indie person, and I've not found many new indie bands that have either lived up to their hype or delivered much for me. I could name about twenty very good ones of the last decade, but that's small compared to the rest of music.

Now, I hope this isn't an evil trick to make me listen again to a horrible album that you know will annoy me.

I just don't remember any good tunes on The Unicorns album, I guess they can play well but I wanted more.

This constitutes a good song, in my humble opinion. I could upload various other videos but I'll relent, because you'll probably disagree.

I don't like the chorus that much, and the guitars sound a bit annoying just like a clashing banging accompaniement in the chorus.

It is "lo-fi", the aim is to make it sound different and unusual.

(I liked it a bit more than "Who will cut our hair...")

It's a song on Who Will Cut Our Hair...

starrynight · 12-23-2011, 10:15 AM

I know it's lo-fi, but it isn't punk. It's meant to have a good melody in the chorus I guess, and the guitars and percussion really take over the chorus with that repetive banging. It doesn't sound like it is giving the song energy but just drowning it out in a monotonous ostinato.

Could someone explain to me why the fuck I wrote that?

It's the second last track, before "Ready to Die". I completely forgot about that song

It is also interesting that the first track is called "I Don't wanna die" and the last "Ready to Die".
