So here's a band that I would expect to see mentioned more often on here but rarely do (unless I am missing out?). Better than Slint, in my opinion.

Yeah, a very fine band indeed. Not better than Slint if you ask me, but certainly similar in alot of ways (not to mention minimal recorded output). Rusty is a real forgotten masterpeice, I love how it starts off with meanadering mellow chiming guitar which sounds like it came off a Mogwai album, and then suddenly breaks into a thunderous post-hardcore affair for akin to bands like Crain. Brilliant, absolutely brilliant. This has made me want to give it a listen today, thanks!

I think you are missing out, they've been mentioned quite a bit (mainly by me, but hey!)... haha... but yeah, I agree, way better than Slint. I definitely see the similarities (very quiet verses that erupt into loud parts, weird awkward dynamic shifts and time signature changes, Kentucky, occassional odd bouts of guitar playing, constant use of harmonics)... but Rodan are way, uh, "harder" in parts. And better.
There's a 10+ minute song on their only album that is breathtaking. Also love the romantic, quiet opening of that album. Just beautiful. Great band. I'm gonna do a classic albums post on them eventually. |

If I remember correctly, Rodan is one fucking useless monster.

they also had an awesome track on a Simple Machines compilation way back in the mid 90's... Rusty is a great album, learned about them thru Thurston's record reviews in the old Sonik Death fanzines back in the day... Rodan splintered into a few things afterward one of which is June of '44...

So why do you seem so worried about the fact that not everyone prefers slint to rodan, then? |
