Takes a while to get used to the sound. I know it took me some 6-7 listens to get into Funeral...

Kevorkian Logic · 05-03-2007, 04:02 PM

They have a few songs that I think stand out, otherwise its generic indie rock.

adidasss · 05-03-2007, 04:19 PM

Lol, it's anything but generic...

Kevorkian Logic · 05-03-2007, 04:24 PM

most of it is generic to me, maybe I just get bored often listening to it that I label it generic.

Neighborhood #2
Crown of Love
Neighborhood #4

are the only songs I find worth listening to.

What about Wake up, Neighborhood #1 and Rebellion (lies)? The whole album is a motherfucking masterpiece...

Kevorkian Logic · 05-03-2007, 04:57 PM

Neighborhood #1 is ok too, I probably should have included it. I just found myself zoning, the piano rhythm stays pretty constant and monotone the entire time and just feel the whole thing is a bit pretentious. They definitely could have pushed themselves a bit more technically harder.

3.5/5

Have you heard Neon Bible?

Kevorkian Logic · 05-03-2007, 05:10 PM

No, a friend told me it wasn't worth the time, so I never bothered. Is it better?

adidasss · 05-03-2007, 05:45 PM

Well, maybe more accessible....

i agree, funeral is amazing in my opinion. i certainly had a easier time getting into neon bible, i also reccomend there ep, my first introduction to the band.
