you people like this crap just because you were told to like it by Pitchfork. It's so lame and unoriginal and just all together lame that I don't get what you hear in it?
Oh to be young! This is great stuff, why rock is the bastion of youth. They need to quit now before they become self important and put out a concept album (dam you Kings of Leon!!!).
Hey these guys said that they wanted a great female vocalist so they could have a good sound (they were thinking yeah yeah yeahs type thing). I kinda like this though.
Pitchfork is the popiest of all music sites despite its supposed indie cred. All they care about is pandering to the hipster demographic. For christsake they loved the Lil Wayne album but had the gaul to give the 'Highly Refined Pirates' album a 5.4? Pitchfork fucking sucks dong.
so true... Lil Wanye's album was absolute crap, too. It's really annoying when bad music gets trendy and everyone listens to it. Much better music out there.
I agree with BethPessoa, I usually go to Pitchfork to find out about good albums that no one else reviews. I dont always agree with them, but thats why I have my own opinions anyways, I wont get mad at a site that says something sucks if I think its good or vice versa...
@MordecaiT I hear that; they gave Lil Wayne a way higher rating than Themselves OR Sole & The Skyrider Band, even though both of those shit all over Lil Wayne when it comes to good hip-hop. Oh well; liking that little fucking troll must be "ironic" or something.
@MordecaiT Pitchfork is great for music news, tour info, finding new bands, etc, but I agree that they often suck with music reviews. I mean, they gave Manchester Orchestra's "I'm Like a Virgin Losing a Child" a 5.4.....what the hell? haha
Well What I meant is that Pitchfork is one of this site that aproves original noises like something out of the normal, That for me it's Avant Gard. I Don't like bands Without Bass for me it's Cheap. It doesnt mean that this song is not catchy but Why Without bass. It's like if they cannnot support another member in the band
Well, because it's apparently hip to have a two-person band or nontraditional instrument arrangements....and to me that is one reason why so called "indie" rock has gotten so damn pretentious and insincere.Today's indie sounds cannot remotely compare to 90's indie, bands like Polvo, Superchunk, Archers of Loaf, etc.. put everything else to shame.
I should have mentioned that I do like Japandroids, I can't stand Pitchfork and the hipsters that craft their musical "tastes" based on the likes and dislikes of Pretentiousfork.....
blah blah blah, what i think isnt the same as everyone else, blah blah everyone else is less knowledgeable than i am blah blah.

@MordecaiT let them have their opinions and you can have your own
your criticism is just as opinionated as there's
if you don't like it just turn the other way.
Now lets listen to this great song.

It's not really minimalism, strictly speaking. There also aren't really any gaps to fill in. It is good though.
