Why didn't math-rock end here?

>>73322392
Because it started there.

>>73322421
That's what I meant.
It became soulless wank right after it started.

>>73322952
Don Caballero would like to have a word with you.

People who write off entire genres annoy me to no end.

>>73322392
>he doesn't like toe or a picture of her
sad

>>73323414
I understand toe but a picture of her is just a cheap imitation of toe.

I like tricot tho

>>73323430
Maybe c can be seen as that, but a fanatic socialist is a fantastic ep

>>73322392
That's not even Polvo's best album

>>73323286
I'm sorry

>>73323465
It is though. Let me guess, you think it's Exploded Drawing?

>>73323540
Obviously

>>73323679
Filler filler
Album shiller

>>73323694
>le short instrumental tracks are automatically filler meme

>>73323740
Today's Active Lifestyles has no skippable tracks. Exploded Drawing does.

>>73323869
Sure Shot and Shiska are more skippable than anything on Exploded Drawing, plus it's just a way less satisfying listen in general. Too safe and homogeneous.

>>73322977
>check out muh drum skills and internal metronome
>anything resembling soul
No.

>>73322977
don cab is what started soulless wank

>>73322392
so in order to be an underground sensation i just have to play dissonant notes with a ds-1 and be bad at singing. cool.

cause laddio bolocko and tera melos are both better bands

It's wank but it's not soulless. There's a lot of tension in early Don Cab's songs. I heard the band members hated each others. Polvo feels more soulful but it's really only because of the lyrics.

>>73322392
Just listen to the ones without wacky titles.
If it has wacky titles it has 99% chance of being shit.

>>73325034
I get what you're saying but what's a non wacky band name in your opinion? Because I can't think of any.

>>73325076
Album and song titles I mean. Band name can be wacky to be attractive.
You know you're about to listen to shit when a track is called "In the Absence of Strong Evidence to the Contrary, One May Step Out of the Way of the Charging Bull", which is actually one of the better tracks but it still works as an indicator of an albums overall quality.

>>73325180
I don't know man, ''Details on how to get ICEMAN on your license plate'' sounds pretty wacky but it's a great track.

>>73325180
I usually love the bands who use playful titles. It's better than the really generic "Something about a captain or a ship and also I'm sad a lot" titles that are so common.

>>73325180
if song title is more than like 4 or 5 words long its probably shit

>>73325354
The only criteria you can base a song title on is if it fits with the theme of the song or not. Not how long it is. That's autism.

>>73325389
name 5 good songs with titles longer than 5 words

>>73325394
I don't want to

>>73325415
because you can't pussy

>>73325431
:'(

>>73325394
>The Boy With the Perpetual Nervousness
>With a Little Help From My Friends
>Fall of the Star High School Running Back
>In the Aeroplane Over the Sea
>The Less I Know the Better

>>73325578
>The Boy With the Perpetual Nervousness
Holy shit great pick
Almost makes up for the Tame Impala track

>>73322952
>>73324718
>>73324856
The fuck does wank mean in this context?

>>73324217
I'll give you Shiska but Sure Shot? Really? What makes you think it's skippable?

*clears throat*

>>73325717
I think they mean that a lot of modern math rock is just awkward dudes showing off how fast they can play guitar, without any artistic purpose other than "look at what I can do."

But I don't agree with that. I don't see why musicians in other genres get a pass for following the stylistic qualities of their genres, while math rock bands are criticized for being "soulless." Maybe you could say that if you insist on only listening to classical music and jazz, but if you accept popular music in the first place then you accept that math rock did nothing wrong.

>>73325034
>>73325354
mate that's stupid

>>73325784
Because math rock that sounds pleasant exists.

>>73325826
well i realized that it can still be great but it doesn't take away from how fucking annoying the titles look

i fucking love "the idler wheel" and think it would sound better than fucking "The Idler Wheel Is Wiser than the Driver of the Screw and Whipping Cords Will Serve You More than Ropes Will Ever Do"

>>73325578
i guess 5 words was kind of low. but 5 good songs with more than 10 words is not possible

>>73325859
nah there's literally nothing wrong with wacky titles

>>73325877
There are barely any songs with ten words in the title in the first place. Pretty much the only band with titles that long I can think of is Giraffes? Giraffes!, and they are good.

>>73325918
except that they're try hard and pretentious

>>73325960
>pretentious
uh oh

>>73325964
quality response

>>73325982
oof

>>73326010
you'd think someone with such a love of unnecessarily long titles would be more verbose

I wish there was more math rock that is less math and more rock.
