I got on the train but had to get off at Meh station.
Kudos to them for at least not sounding typical. Doesn't make it good, though.
Right after Meh station, the next stop is Underwhelmed cross....I expect you'll step off of the train at one of those two.
I've never gotten the "underwhelmed" comments for groups like this. Underwhelmed by what? No one was claiming these guys were the saviors of music or the most original band in the history of the planet. The reviews themselves have all been far from perfect for the group. What in hells name were you underwhelmed by, an 83/100 average on Metacritic?
Maybe the title wasn't obvious enough, but I'm really not interested in shit comparisons to completely dissimilar bands/music. If you don't enjoy them, that's fine, but I would like to ask that you spend your time talking about something you do like in a different thread rather than derailing this with multiple posts of negativity.
I'm liking this more with each listen.
Each time I think a song sounds like another band, the next one goes and sounds completely different.
Hard to classify, and even if not wholly original, it still sounds very fresh.
How touchy.
There are threads that are supposed to be positive only? I missed that in the FAQ's.
Underwhelmed speaks for itself. I had never heard of them before this thread, so, their hype means nothing to me. I gave a few songs a listen, as I respect your taste in music. I did not like it. Thus, I'm less than welmed. I'm unimpressed. Whelmed is above me, and I am under it as it pertains to this band. Their rating on metacritic means nothing to me as well. I don't give a shit what a group of faceless critics have to say about music.
So.....Once again, listened to them, expected something good (you accept the word good, no, can we use that?) and did not get it, and so I was
U N D E R W H E L M E D.
Simple stuff.

I have to agree with NSW. While I can understand not wanting a thread full of "Dude, it sucks," it's a little disingenius to post a thread about a band and only want people to pipe up if they agree with you.
I also agree, and I have precious few remembrances of people making out-there and stretched comparisons between unrelated bands. I'm deeply confused.
I have no problem with threads for blindfolded optimism only, but this was never marked as such. What's wrong with not enjoying something unconditionally, again...?
I'm disappointed in all of you. As I wrote those comments I thought to myself, "People are going to light me up like a Christmas tree for this, it's going to be awesome". Instead, you were all civil and polite. Assholes.
I had sex with each and every one of your mothers. Peter Gabriel too.
I was actually pretty uncivilized.
I'm pleased that my Mom got some action, though.

Oh, man. I like Young Girls a lot. Very upbeat, some school, vocal. Yes.
