top of the year? seriously? ugh. first listen of it is right now and i just dont get the mass appeal

" guys listen to this loop i just did on my microkorg. lets record 4 minutes of it and you just put some random words to it. then maybe we'll REVERSE the vocals"

backlash? unheard of

IM NOT KIDDIN

That's how I see it too.

i don't care for it myself, but i can kinda understand why people are so into it.

Is it backlash if you didn't like the stuff they recorded before every one creamed their pants over them?

i'm just gonna play my guitar and sing some words and not worry about whether or not anybody who's done the exact same thing over the past 60 years did a 1000x better job

this is the first ive ever heard of these guys. i shouldve known i wouldnt like it since i didnt really get into that panda bear album

just what point are you trying to make

i mean you can reduce just about anything to something dubious if you're eager to write it off

maybe not?

i'm not eager. in fact im still listening to it.

look this just isnt my bag of balls, ok?

god can you just imagine what the crowd would consist of at one of these guys' shows? and the smell. oh my christ just think of the smell

People smell great at most rock shows

no, they usually smell awful. throw in neo-hippieness with a dash of crank and you got yourself some dudes that havent washed in a week and a half. you know that smell? its unmistakable the second it slams into your nose. kind of like a combo of swiss cheese and baby shit

I don't mind them that much...I liked Strawberry Jam a little more than than Merriweather I think, but this one seems to be getting all the praise.

i feel bad for you guys if this is really what you think you're hearing.

down here it was a lot of models in their 20's, gay boys, and well dressed people, so it didn't really smell that bad at all.

you dont need to feel bad. i dont feel like im really missing out on anything

that said, it is my first listen. i will give this a minimum of three go thrus to see what sticks. i do like that summertime clothes song kinda

I think the band probably smells way worse than most of their fans, actually.

you didn't like My Girls?

dude, it's a funk tune.

robotboy my hero

the AC guys? I met two of them (in a cave). They were wearing Patagonia gear and looked showered. They're rich kids from Baltimore suburbs that took a lot of hallucinogens and listened to the Grateful Dead...

"My Girls" and "Summertime Clothes" are good. The rest of it is a big fat MEH...definitely nowhere near my album of the year.
