Marry me, oscillations, lol. Seriously tho, you have such good taste in music and we usually agree, which is rare for me. I was looking for a thread about this (I bought it today based on the strength of the Metacritic reviews alone and had heard nothing from this band at all) so thanks for starting one. Only a few songs into it. It's very overwhelming. It reminds me of stuff I used to listen to back when I smoked. A lot of stuff going on but it sounds very nice.

Aw, thanks. <3
Be sure to check out their 2003 debut The Decline of British Sea Power. TRULY MONUMENTAL STUFF.
P.S. Oscie is taking the forum back...lots of new esoteric threads are about to be born!

Do You Like Rock Music? is an excellent album. Krankenhaus? was a nice introduction to their latest album. I hated the Pitchfork review. The rating of U.2 is a bit over the top.  |

Pitchfork is such a diva.

Yeah...a friend of my one of my fraternity brothers from Brown writes for them and goes to Brown as well. I warned him never to introduce us because I might have to be restrained (and I am not a violent person, lol) Their pretension makes me see red sometimes; they think a particular album is so beneath them that they put a video of a monkey peeing into its own mouth (the Jet "Shine On" review) and now this...pff. What do they know, really?

What do they know? The power of evasion & irony: the two main ingredients in their writing.  |

The search function didn't really show me any results so I didn't see your thread.  Mods, feel free to lock the other one. Essentials from the other thread:  Waving Flags (1st single): youtube.com/watch?v=w2n-7K0Ef6YI'm falling in love with this album. Such a good listen. And once again I'm glad our music wavelengths converged :) |
