New Explosions In The Sky track

<< < (3/4) > >>

jeph:
I really like EitS' first two records and think they're supremely good live and from what I can tell, really nice dudes too.

But GODDAMN do they need to explore some new sounds. And I don't even necessarily mean different instrumentation or songwriting styles or orchestration*, I just mean CHANGING THE SETTINGS ON THEIR AMPS. I swear to God, ever since The Earth Is Not A Cold Dead Place it's like they welded the knobs into place.

All I can really think about is how much better their sense of melody would get highlighted if they used something other than that one tone over and over again.

*: Of course, if you hired me to produce an album of theirs, I would hold them at gunpoint until they agreed to use some frigging acoustic guitars and piano or something in their songs.

I always feel like such a dick saying things like this though, I know they bust their ass to write and play their music and it's shitty to have some tard on the internet get all would-be-rock-critic about it. I just wish they'd broaden their spectrum a little bit.

Felix_:
I like it and I love this band!

MORE!

Oh, so you want them to become Coldplay?

Kai:
Yeah, because coldplay are the only band in existance to EVER use an acoustic guitar or piano.

Ernest:
Relax, don't get so defensive.  I'm just making fun.  You have to admit, though, the pacing for most of both bands' songs sound similar.  Ah, forget I said anything.
