Album title: Big Walnuts Yonder Artist: Big Walnuts Yonder Genre: Indie Rock Nationality: American Release date: May 5 Position in Discography: Debut Estimated Rating: Familiar with this artist? No Familiar with the genre or subgenre? No Average RYM Score: 3.00 Ah lord, not another goddamn supergroup! What is the point? Ain't they got enough beach-houses and BMWs? Yes, I'm sure it's all very artistic but I can only ever see any reason why people form supergroups, and it has always to do with dead presidents. Anyway, here we have members of Wilco, Deerhoof, Minutemen and Tera Melos, none of which I know but I'm sure you do. This also comes with the perhaps tentative tag of experimental rock, and I can kind of see this in the second track, “Sponge Bath”, which kind of reminds me vaguely of early The The, and certainly “Flare Star Phantom” has all the weird noises and effects I associate with noise/experimental music. Halfway through it breaks out into a kind of blasting guitar solo, which isn't bad. I must admit I've very impressed with the guitar-centric “I Got Marty Feldman Eyes”, which is a straight rocker and riff-fest, but then I don't like “Raise the Drawbridges?” much at all, and it kind of goes a little downhill from there. All the way. I said it once, I'll say it again: supergroups, huh? Check out more from this artist? No Check out more from this genre or subgenre? Yes Actual Rating:

"Supergroups" can be great. If a group promotes themselves on the basis of being a supergroup alone (which doesn't really apply in this instance), that's when you have a problem. Artists can't just be tied to a solo project and their first band; let them branch out, TH.

Nah, it's just being fair and not being an arrogant *******. I'm saying "look I don't know this band. If you're a fan you probably love this album. I'm not, and I don't, but for me personally there's not much here."

"My favourite colour is blue, in my opinion. If your favourite colour is red, I don't want to step on your toes by saying that it's a bad colour--it just does nothing for me. If you love it, that is just fine and I will allow it."

2. You are being disingenuous when you say something you don't believe just to "keep the peace".
