i like one song. The rest is background rock.

"boring mundane mediocre rock shit" does not describe NO AGE

it describes Counting Crows, or the wallflowers or soul asylum, maybe, but not a skronk loving rock band like No age.

atsonicpark · 01.27.2009, 09:52 AM

No it applies to No Age. Counting Crows, the Wallflowers, and Soul Asylum are all soft rock though.

Rob Instigator · 01.27.2009, 09:59 AM

No age rules. yr ears are jaded.

atsonicpark · 01.27.2009, 10:00 AM

I guess I'm just not as easily impressed as most people.

Decayed Rhapsody · 01.27.2009, 11:04 AM

And the vocals are goddamn annoying. I have a high tolerance for 'bad singers' but that dude is completely tuneless.

"boring mundane mediocre rock shit"...pretty much. see i love punk stuff so i gave them several listens to all these claims about them being an awesome punk band. so wrong. and they're even less skronk than they are punk. but lets not deteriorate into genre discussion.

stop worrying about labels
it's just a band
and I, and lots others, enjoy their RAWK

In regards to their music, I'm not going to try and argue that it's really "original". However I find for me that it's just really fun to put on one of their records and rock out to it. I like how some of their songs are high energy punk songs and then there are the more ambient noise tracks (for lack of a better term) as well. Brain Burner is one of my favorite songs of theirs but Everybody's Down is their best to see live.

I like Mika Miko, but I don't think they're as good as No Age to be honest. Business Cats and Capricorinations are amazing songs, but overall their album is weaker than both No Age CDs

i think their overall releases and live show are a whole lot better than no age. "nouns" was good upon first listen, but now i can't listen to it.

it's a sleep over fest without the party. just the sleep.

the "666" ep is my favorite mika miko release.

SYRFox · 01.27.2009, 02:33 PM

I've yet to see Mika Miko live, I think they never came this side of the Atlantic - at least they never came near Lille. No Age however I've seen last year and they put on a very good show, though the crowd wasn't really into it (it was in a small festival, in a room, and after no age played two techno bands, which most people came to see).
I like Mika Miko's album over the 666 EP, but that might be cause I haven't listened to it too often.

I think Nouns' second half is really fantastic. Those six last songs are fulled with energy, they give me an urge to shake my head, which is exactly what i ask them - though it can be a drawback in the subway

king_buzzo · 01.27.2009, 03:00 PM

i dont get how people can not like this album. its epic.

01.27.2009, 07:12 PM

No Age died slowly on me.

I felt like that at first, but then on repeated listenings and with cranked volume the hooks really started working their magic.

You can probably train yourself to appreciate any aspect of a band if you want to. If you want to give any band enough time and listen 500 times and waste your life, sure, you can find plenty of little things you like about them. No Age has a few little things I like about them, but then I'm not quick to completely hate almost any band that isn't name the Mars Volta. I'm just saying, it's still boring crap that doesn't do anything special. It's fine if you like it. They're just not terribly important or doing anything terribly special, from any angle.
