Who here DOESN'T like MPP?

afterthefact · 04.14.2009, 04:13 PM

I know on the other thread for MPP there were some haters, but it was mostly dedicated to the love of the album.

This one is for the haters.

Ok, I won't say I hate it, because if any other sub par indie band put it out, I would probably feel blown away by it. But AC is sooo good in my opinion, I just feel like they lost something here. They used to have more of a "hey, we set up some mics in our living room and found these sticks to hit together and this guy over here is going to play his acoustic guitar if that's cool" kind of vibe to it (I know that's not what it was, but it had that feel) and now that's sort of gone. Anybody with me?

ac is usually fairly shitty but mpp is great

afterthefact · 04.14.2009, 04:18 PM

Really?!? Hmm, that's weird... I mean, you are entitled to feel that way, that's fine, I just have a hard time even imagining feeling that way when I listen to them.

Derek · 04.14.2009, 04:18 PM

Oh, not again...

I feel the same way as wellcharge. I normally hate AC, they just sound so bad, but something about MPP is a lot better.

i don't think it's really weird, mpp is their most accessible and popular album, sun tongs is probably as good/better, but feels and campfire songs bored me, and strawberry jam i found to be annoying

I'm not down with MPP
yeah you know me....

don;t know who MPP is.

wellcharge · 04.14.2009, 04:50 PM

i normally find it annoying when people let being blunted change their feelings about a recording but.... the part of "in the flowers" where it gets all fast and has strings or whatever, that shit takes me places, it's like all cosmic and trippy and stuff. marijuana;fuck ya

pbradley · 04.14.2009, 04:51 PM

I've never heard a song that has made me think "wow, I should look more into these guys." In fact I know them mostly because I had a neo-hippie-ish friend who loved them and "Peacebone." It just sounds like folk-pop vocals over bleepy synths. I don't understand why people think that is amazing but whatever, I don't need to.

akprodr · 04.14.2009, 04:57 PM

I listened to it several times and its still not doing anything for me. No THC though...

Trasher02 · 04.14.2009, 05:35 PM

Can't we just drop it already?

i'm staying out of this one

dionysusundone · 04.14.2009, 07:04 PM

It's an okay album, but not amazing. I don't get why people get so worked up about it, it's nowhere near the album Sung Tongs was, but it's a step up from Strawberry Jam.

automatic bzooty · 04.14.2009, 07:45 PM

i don't love it, i don't hate it. it's just a very meh record for me.

noisereductions · 04.14.2009, 07:50 PM

I don't like it. I fucking love it.

atsonicpark · 04.15.2009, 01:30 AM

It's really boring and lifeless and dull. Hard to listen to the whole thing in one sitting. The electronics sound too simple and ameteurish and repetetive, but the main strength of AC has always been their vocal melodies... and what can I say? Nice vocal melodies, for the most part. It's not an awful record, but yeah, it's no "Sung Tongs" (really, from beginning to end, probably the only album I LOVE by them). I really like a few songs, like "My Girls". All in all, though, it just doesn't do much for me.
