Because it started there.

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

Don Caballero would like to have a word with you.

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

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

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

I like tricot tho

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

That's not even Polvo's best album

I'm sorry

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

Obviously

Filler filler
Album shiller

>le short instrumental tracks are automatically filler meme

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

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.

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

don cab is what started soulless wank

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 not a genuine musical expression if I don't like it

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.

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

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

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.

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

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.

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

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.

name 5 good songs with titles longer than 5 words

I don't want to

because you can't pussy

:'(

>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

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

The fuck does wank mean in this context?

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

>If it has wacky titles it has 99% chance of being shit.
*clears throat*

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.

mate that's stupid

Because math rock that sounds pleasant exists.

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"

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

nah there's literally nothing wrong with wacky titles

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.

except that they're try hard and pretentious

>pretentious
uh oh

quality response

oof

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.
