I'd heard the second one was a dramatic step in the right direction, and since I had an hour to spare I decided to give it a listen through. Took a few more spins of it and made up my mind. I wouldn't have bothered if I had the idea in my head that I would hate it like I did Wavvves.

The variation really sealed the deal for me. I still wouldn't say it's beyond an average aping of everything, but SOOOOO much better than Wavvves. I can't stress that enough. I find some of these songs to actually be fun, and not just horrifying.

I find lots of it fun. Mickey Mouse is without a doubt my favourite. But King of the Beach, Post Acid and Green Eyes are wicked summer jams.

I heard King of the Beach, not at all impressed with it to be honest. I like a lot of Wavves' songs but I can't really get that into any of the previous two albums these days, and based on King of the Beach I doubt I'll check out the new one in all honesty.

Why do some people really hate this band? I heard 'Wavvves' and it wasn't a great record, but it was decent enough. Some people seem to loathe this band, is it just because the singer/guitarist is a bit of a cock or what? Can anyone offer an explanation?

Is their new album any good as well? (King of the Beach)

They don't seem very successful though.. A fair few people seem to hate them and brand them as pretentious shite, just because they have a lo-fi sound (I assume, but I'm not too sure.)

They obviously aren't a brilliant band, but their album was a decent enough listen.

debaserr · 06-30-2010, 02:43 PM

some people hate on shitgaze.

TheCunningStunt · 06-30-2010, 02:47 PM

****gaze, terrible genre.

Surely it's simply Garage Rock?
