Bahaha, this coming from someone who posts random pictures of Jay-Z and Kanye West in every other thread. That's boring.

Anyway, I'm sorry you don't agree with my opinion and I am boring now.

cryptowonderdruginvogue 10.07.2008 04:04 AM

I should go make some random noise

atsonicpark 10.07.2008 04:04 AM

Okay. That'd probably be boring though. Why would you do that.. unless you're boring? Nothing appeals to me whatsoever about "random noise". What clever point are you trying to make and failing to do so?

cryptowonderdruginvogue 10.07.2008 04:07 AM

You're a smart kid
I don't believe that you're as oblivious as you're pretending to be

p.s. Nice edit

cryptowonderdruginvogue 10.07.2008 04:08 AM

You know what else is boring?

Indiana

atsonicpark 10.07.2008 04:11 AM

It wasn't that nice of an edit, I just wanted to clarify my feelings a bit better.

And yeah Indiana is boring. So, again, why are you being mean to me?

Because I was kidding when I said I found you boring
It was supposed to be one of those like
"Dude, this sucks"
"Dude, your face sucks" kind of things
But you took it seriously
Then you proceeded to insult me

I guess my humor detector is fucked up right now. I thought I was being insulted.

Sorry.

Go stick some fingers up your ass

atsonicpark 10.07.2008 04:19 AM

I'd like to but I'm too depressed to milk my prostate at the moment.

cryptowonderdruginvogue 10.07.2008 04:22 AM

Sorry to hear that

 

atsonicpark 10.07.2008 04:24 AM

Really, you're surprised? I didn't know anyone liked it! In fact, I distinctly remember that when it came out everyone who ever liked the LIARS before hated it. While I wasn't a huge fan of LIARS' dance punk sound, I still thought this album was a disappointment from every angle.

I think there's maybe one good song on it. Liars aren't the best songwriters in the world to begin with, but that album in particular features really lousy songwriting. I guess that's what happens when the most talented members of your band leave right before you're about to record, eh? The songs literally sound like nothing, only held together by interesting production and a good atmosphere; organic, as you noted... in that way I can definitely see an Animal Collective link, though Animal Collective have actual strong MELODIES to back up even their weaker moments... It's pretty sad when the murkiness of the production is better than the actual songs on an album.

I did enjoy that song that goes "I'll take care of you", as it seems like it's the only one that had any thought put into it. THe rest are built around one annoying noise, nonsense chants, or just straight-up bad songwriting. It's an impossibly boring self-indulgent album that seems to be in love with itself.

The only other song I mildly enjoy, I believe it's the second track.. it's just drums and one atmospheric sound. But even that was bettered by their next album. That album sucks. I've listened to it probably 10 times in my life and it still sucks. And I say this as someone who appreciates LIARS (though they get way too much credit for "doing something different on every album")... I just think most of their output is pretty shoddy...

greedrex 10.07.2008 09:21 AM

it's true the overall difference between the first Lp and the second one was jawdropping.
But with hindsight i actually prefer LP2 over LP1 (sorry don't rememebr the titles ...).
But yeah it's totally different.
anyways the last one is kind shitty.....going nowhere really;


back to topic
i'd say "Spirit" is my fave, followed closely by Sung tongs.
Spirit has blissful moments and it's the first one i heard, but then Sung tongs is a lot more solid all round.
i also like Campfire songs for the atmosphere......
I like AC
good band but i can see how others would completelmy despise them.

i would actually second this, considering the album in itself but i do like the songs and the overall vibe of this thing...
in fact the above comment would fit nicely in a description of SY's silver sessions for me.

the fight starts NOW
GO!

SYRFox 10.07.2008 11:57 AM

I love (yeah I mean, love) both They Were Wrong, So We Drowned and Silver Sessions.
I also enjoy the last Liars album. Actually I can say I like everything Liars put out yet. Drum's Not Dead being my favorite, and They Were Wrong my second favorite. "We Fenced Other Gardens With The Bones Of Our Own" is a fantastic song in my opinion

greedrex 10.07.2008 01:31 PM

i said FIGHT
like insults and aggressive stuff
the usual
no?
oh well

SYRFox 10.07.2008 01:58 PM

I ain't in no fight
But you can fight with mister Cooley if you want

noisereductions 10.07.2008 02:00 PM

yeah, Cooley'll F you up. You won't even see him coming. Not because he's fast, but because he's only a foot and a half tall. He'll walk right in under yr line of vision.
