yes what caseyryanmather said...I love this song so much, it reminds me of...........................er......er.......nah nothing ive heard before...do you know how rare that is?
I found this a little unnerving when I first heard it. But it's growing on me the more I listen to it. It's rare to find such a unique voice, though their more recent albums are a bit more mainstream. But still really good.
The "strain" in his voice is in choice spots for emphasis, not because his chords are getting raw or tired. He's using his vocal talents in a non-traditional and thoughtful way. The lead singer's voice, and the band, are extremely unique, very emotionally charged in their vocal expressions, and really a breath of fresh air in a stagnant traditional landscape of music. I don't agree with your painful to listen to assertion, but everyone is entitled to their own opinion. =)
Agreed on this guy's careful control of his voice, but whether it's good is a whole other story. I can see the appeal, but you really have to dig the whole aesthetic is you're going to enjoy the song
good music and lyrics, but this guy's voice... is pretty bad. It's not even a decent falsetto, you can hear his vocal cords straining and getting raw as the song goes on... its painful.
Saw these last night at KoKo Were really good live was a nice surprise as i have not heard them before. Probably best band of the night . Refreshingly different
video SUCKS its a cheap version of something Franz Ferdinand did years ago. Id like to see a full fledging GAY bonanza of a video that reflects this completely outrageous song
The one thing you must admire about the Wild Beasts is that their sound pits the listener against an original pop sound. Then, the bottom line ensues: You are either with the Wild Beasts, or you are against them.
really good. if you don't understand why we all love it, don't make yourself look like an idiot by saying "it's shit" etc. we like it for a reason, a lot of people say, " he has a weird voice, that's shit" but that makes you an idiot basically.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
absolutly crap this makes we want to vomit all over the carpet.now i truly understand why people smoke crack.the best thing this "BAND" can do is split up and sign on at the dole office,i have never heard such a pile of 3 chord toss in my life any "band members reading this pleas please please kill your selves immediatly.
I saw you guys support Peter Bjorn and john in leeds a while back and your sound blew me away. Glad to see that your video is just as good. Looking forward to to gigin York with The Sugars
just flicking through the sky music channels.. came upon 0120 (bbc6music) .. and this song came on..Bloody brilliant!! . the most original, wonderous sound i've heard in Yonks!!! Nice one guys! .. add me to your fan list!! (John Peel would rave over this if e were alive)!!!
i get it when someone doesnt understand beauty of his voice and skill and so dislikes it, but u can NEVER EVER say its BAD.
