This Band of Horses song is overrated.

Naw, I'd say you're probably fucked anyway.

LemonMelon said:
I just need one more to get a point.
the tourist said:
Lots of people in Seattle love Band of Horses.
the tourist said:
Wait... what? How does one go about getting points?
LemonMacPhisto said:
Oh, not a big crowd here in Central Florida.
the tourist said:
They remind me of the (also overrated) Arcade Fire.
LemonMelon said:
If you keep it within three, you get a point. Where have you been?
LemonMacPhisto said:
I don't hear the comparison, but British Sea Power and Arcade Fire do sound alike.
I'm a big fan of Arcade Fire, but it's cool if you don't like them.

I thought that points were awarded by votes. I admit, I haven't paid too close attention--especially since my internet's been weird lately and hasn't enjoyed being friends with interference, sporadically.
the tourist said:
I don't mind Arcade Fire... I just think their songs end up being a lot less grandiose than they should. And the singer's voices can get on my mind sometimes. But I do have the Funeral album. I was disappointed at the final 2 minutes of Wake Up, though, and that's characterized my whole experience with them.
LemonMelon said:
Well, there you go. If I get another vote, I'll move ahead of LMP.
LemonMacPhisto said:
I have the same problem with that song, they didn't know how to end their "epic" songs on that album, except for Rebellion.
I prefer Neon Bible.
LemonMelon said:BTW, what I have heard from British Sea Power has been very enjoyable.

LemonMelon said:
Bite your tongue, sir! Funeral is an emotional rollercoaster. Neon Bible just sounds like Arcade Fire trying to make an Arcade Fire record. But it's still pretty good.
the tourist said:
I have not heard that one. It's on the very long list of "Albums the lead singer of my band is going to put on my computer for me." That list is about 150 cds long, though, so it will be awhile (as I insist on listening to them, 5 at a time, over 2 weeks).

That vote won't be from me, though. I'm not finished with Phanan's list and I've gotta shower and get ready for work and vacuum my room. The girlfriend's coming over after work and I don't want a messy room.

I think it's more of a natural progression from the darker tracks on Funeral. The Springsteen/Talking Heads influences are definitely heavier on Neon Bible as well.
the tourist said:Although, LM, be glad. Why? you might ask? Because at this point, I might be enjoying Phanan's list more than I enjoyed yours.
LemonMelon said:
OK, yeah, it's a good progression. I would say that the Springsteen influences are heightened, and the Talking Heads influences are muted. At least vocally.
Neon Bible's about a 7.5 or 8 for me, while Funeral's probably a 9.
