Hot Take/ Musical Confession Thread!

btw that one album i said i definitely liked by fishmans was kuchu camp and thats mostly because it had the amazing song night cruising on it

legit one amazing song and that was it for me
 
I'm not really a fan of colored vinyl. There's some exceptions, but generally, it feels forced and gimmicky.

Reminds me of two things from my childhood:

-Some company tried to make Ketchup purple because they said why does it have to be red? I never trusted that ketchup.
-When sports teams made their hats/merch in all colors. Like the world needed bright orange Red Sox hats and yellow Yankees hats.

Holy shit, that album. Would not have guessed there was a ska track on there. Hadn't heard that one, but (i might have read someone else say this first) the songs I had heard are some of the first music where I don't know what to think, in a way that makes me feel old or something.

I'm terrible with genres so I didn't even know that track was ska until someone said it was.
I really like the album and it's incredibly replayable for me. Super enjoyable even on my first listen of the first song.

Not sure how they'll handle a longer album if they keep it up, since I can see it losing it's charm if there's too many tracks, but I'll definitely be looking out for them.

my boy's got his own ringtone
it's the only I know, it's the only one I know

but yea, it's one of my faves of the year and the replay value is insane, but i'd be lying if I said I didn't echo your concerns about the future of the project. they seem like a really creative pair so i'd like to think they'd find a way to keep it refreshing but you never know.

Vampire Weekend - why all the fuss? Banal. Pedestrian. Forgettable.

I gave Father of the Bride the college try after seeing all the praise for it on here and outside of a few tracks, yeah, had to place it squarely in the "I don't get it, it's not for me" category.

For me, they've always been perfectly bland. I own one of their albums (Modern Vampires) and enjoy a few songs from the other two. Father Of The Bride does nothing for me.
 
The continued touring/deification of older, "canon" artists has destroyed innovation in guitar music, and it will take generations to properly recover, if at all.

Think you like metal? You start off and listen to the classics like Metallica, Maiden, etc. and you can still go and see them, so why bother trying out new stuff, especially if it's just a variation on the core themes (honestly when was the last major sound shift in metal - nu metal 20 years ago?). Let's be honest, if a 3 day metal fest like Download decided to limit their headliners to bands that only got big this century the'd be fucked after a year or two.

Trad UK guitar indie has died a death, so moderately good bands (Idles for example - good, but by no means amazing) get hyped up more than they should be. All that's left is nostalgia gigs for those my age, so they can take their kids and pretend they're still cool.

I honestly don't know if there is anything new that a guitar band can possibly do now; all the reference bands are so well known now that everything is kind of a pastiche of an older, probably better original. Guitar music has lost it's ability to shock, and their isn't any point of difference between what the new generation and my generation listened to for me to get upset about it not sounding the same as what I grew up with.
