Yeah, a lot of that type of stuff bores me now, and has for a while. FLOOD is an amazing album, but that's about it.
Also, Polvo bores me, aside from Celebrate.. and Lifestyles. And even those can be hard to sit through at times. While they are clearly guitar wizards, I just don't find their sound enjoyable to listen to, aside from a few songs, and I think the "weird guitar interplay" thing was done better with TFUL#282, amongst others. I loved them a decade ago, but hadn't listend to them since that new record came out and tried to listen to their stuff a few weeks ago and just didn't find much to enjoy, aside from some interesting riffs here or there. THey basically sound like a more complex Sebadoh or something, but constantly holding down a whammy bar for everything they play. Which is interesting in theory but can be a bit too abrasive at times.
