mix between Smashing Pumpkins, Silver Sun Pickups, & Manchester Orchestra. I know someone is going to say they are there own creation, but everyone is influenced by someone dammit.
You can't really say that Silversun Pickups are on the list of things it sounds like when you already put The Smashing Pumpkins there. The influence the The Smashing Pumpkins had on Silversun Pickup is astounding and as plain as day.
could you guys please listen to "the truth about schmidt-tonight"? it's the band of a friend of mine, which you will like if like this, and we're just trying to get some views :)
This song is beautiful. Why am I subjected to meaningless drivel everyday on my ride to work on the radio instead of thoughtful creative music like this?
I would just like to brag a little bit and tell everyone that I and the lucky husband are off to see TPOBPAH on Oct. 14th in Norman, OK. They're playing at the student union on OU's campus. Man, what a show that will be!! I don't think I can wait 3 months, damn!!!
Please tell me how Silversun Pickups' Carnavas got a 5.0 from Pitchfork and how TPOBPAT's "Belong" got an 8.2. Both are very similar records in style, and I honestly much prefer "Carnavas" and "Swoon" over "Belong."
@Hockyluv21 I can explain that very easily. Silversun Pickups, while they do have a handful of masterpieces, are not a consistently good band. On the other hand, every single song that The Pains of Being Pure at Heart have come out with are solid. It's masterpiece after masterpiece. Now, don't get me wrong, half the time I completely disagree with Pitchfork's reviews, but I think they got it just right with this one. It's all subjective anyway. Lazy Eye is a full blown masterpiece though!
It's because The Smashing Pumpkins is a major influence on the band, not to mention the album being produced by the Flood/Alan Moulder tandem. It's similar, but not a ripoff. Great band.
Ha ha, you guys are lame. They aren't trying to act like anything. They are proudly bourgeois and cunts and all of that. That's what makes them beautiful.
Well... younger listeners like u should listen to certain '90s bands from Sarah Records & similar labels, so u'll discover that although the Pains don't steal melodies, are not able to create very nice meloidies as Sweetest Ache, Field Mice & several others bands could ...and many others can today!
@yancibell ...Yes!!!...you nailed it!!! All 3 of those fantastic bands all rolled in one!!! I love all of those bands and thats what turned me onto this song!!! Good ear yancibell!!! I can hear qualities from all three of those bands!!...Absolutely Amazing!!!
Why does everyone always compare a band to something else? If it sounds good just feel the vibe, let it heal you and bring you a little joy in this painful world.
Is music for enjoyment and entertainment or a flag to say "I'm different than you"?
@jarofsap704 ewww you don't know what twee is. why the fuck are you listening to an indie pop band like tpobpah? lol they probably would not like you listening to their music anyway. they even refused to even let a company use their music in a commercial. you don't understand this band. go listen to the lyrics. they might be too sissy for you. go listen to screamo or harcore or whatever you frat boys listen to these days. lol the name is fucking awesome.
@sexlessparents relax, don't be so butthurt. unless you're in the band and have very strong feelings about the name then you shouldn't be pooping your pants over some random person's comment. i LIKE the track, go attack someone who doesn't, i dunno.
Yous should care, cause you would discover fuckin awesome bands in the same style of the pains of being pure at heart but 20 years ago. Just check Field Mice you'll see...
