>prog isn't hipster shite

They were never as good as Foals, and the fact that one has faded into obscurity while the other has gone on to become one of the biggest bands around right now is a testament to that fact.

>>69882352
Honestly, Battles sounds like Battles, and that's a good thing. I would call it "art rock" but that's as meaningless as any other label. Maybe post-rock could work too.

>>69882415
i saw foals live in 2013 and immediately forgot what they sounded like

>>69882352
is it lite math rock

>>69882415

Come back to me when Battles write a song as good as Two Steps Twice or Late Night.

>>69882501
i sure love how cover.jpg brings out the true sound of wannabe math rock, without overstepping their mark and becoming slightly too out there and tryhard. definitely more so than what battles accomplished on their feature record.

foals are garbage.

But Foals is absolutely awful nowadays while Battles keep on releasing decent stuff. And this is coming from someone who has "Antidotes" as one of his favorite albums ever (while having none by Battles in that category).
I think the comparison is not the best one; Foals for instance always tried to make to you dance while Battles are more like "smoke and get into this rhythmic trance" vibe.

>>69882543
it's a good record t b h, reminds me a lot of third adebisi shank with the cheesy electro tunes. there's just something about that which i love.

I've noticed there is a small group of really hardcore Foals fans on this board. It is nice in a way that they are dedicated to such mediocrity. Like a strange band of people that will never accept their favourite band had a top 40 hit, and off that released a while plethora of listenable records that weren't diminishing to the genre they were trying to imitate or seemingly make a mockery of.

I mean math rock could be considered one of only a few deplorable genres, but even still. Laughable.

Battles is better than Foals.
Don't know why this is even a question

>>69882627
not heard it or seen it before. my point was you referenced something that was was unknown to me and, i assume, others.

>>69882583
Their last album was their weakest, but still had some good stuff on it. Holy Fire is their strongest, most ambitious record despite how it's hated on this board.

Listening to those Foals songs just felt like a worse TTNG. This song is goat.

>>69882689
Yeah, a good example.
Math rock and trip-hop.
Nothing redeemable.

>>69882665
but.. it's Lite? the japanese math rock band? Not unheard of here on /mu/.

>>69882747
He's a Foals fan, you expect him to have taste?
