Erm, perhaps because not everyone feels like passing generic and ultimately transparently tiresome judgement about every single band that they listen to.

The new one is WAY too safe for my taste. I was really disappointed.

batreleaser · 06.09.2008, 01:52 PM

bummer

Everyneurotic · 06.09.2008, 01:56 PM

i thought i had replied about them here.

anyhoo they are good not great, an ok band. like stereolab minus the frenchness and without being extraordinaire.

Rob Instigator · 06.09.2008, 02:04 PM

I find their album to be half filler, and half good songs. nothing earth shattering.

king_buzzo · 06.09.2008, 03:23 PM

i really like cryptograms.

well they're coming here tomorow but i really dont have the time to go and see them.

batreleaser · 06.09.2008, 04:41 PM

theyve had a few songs which i have found amazing; cryptograms, strange lights, spring hall convert, providence, flourescent grey, and wash off.

DeadDiscoDildo · 06.09.2008, 04:45 PM

oh cool I didnt know they were off their hiatus. Yeah they are a pretty cool band, some times I really dig it and sometimes its boring. cool dudes tho

Mschinner · 06.09.2008, 05:31 PM

The first half of Cryptograms reminded me of Spacemen 3. I wished that they would rock out more like a few other people have said. I really like the end of Cryptograms (song).

SpectralJulianIsNotDead · 06.09.2008, 11:16 PM

I just started listening to them and I'd have to agree with Rob Instigator and Everyneurotic.

fluxequalsrad · 06.10.2008, 12:07 AM

First listen I thought it was just mindless-delay-ambient bullshit with not very much there.... however its getting better with each listen..

atsonicpark · 06.10.2008, 12:16 AM

Yeah, like I said, pretty boring but not bad.

DNAINTHEDNA · 06.10.2008, 05:55 AM

listened to all their records, seen em live, this band blows.

atsonicpark · 06.10.2008, 05:59 AM

That they don't use nearly as often now.

atsonicpark · 06.10.2008, 09:44 PM

their singer pisses me off.

He's like "EVERYONE GIVES ME WEIRD LOOKS CUZ I GOT A DISEASE!" Hey man you're wearing a dress, getting in people's faces, and you post blog posts about hey big your turds are, doesn't that seem confrontational to you? Or, wait, it's cuz you're "skinny" that people don't like you.

dionysusundone · 06.10.2008, 10:41 PM

You know that dude's come into my job a few times, he's nice as hell, but, he doesn't really strike me as being all that unhealthy looking.

atsonicpark · 06.10.2008, 11:42 PM

I've read a few interviews with him where he just comes off as a dick and completely ridiculous.

Maybe that's just how he wants to portray himself, maybe he's not bad in real life, but his image is silly.

dionysusundone · 06.10.2008, 11:45 PM

Yeah I totally get what you're talking about/where you're coming from.
I've read his interviews and been surprised by how different he seems from the guy I've sold little knick knacks to.
