I like old music. SometimesBefore Snow Patrol went huge with their album "Final Straw", I think they were still considered Indie, and their past albums sound nothing like what their new album sounds like. It sounds more mellow, less intricate and a whole lot more soul. They sound less mainstream than what they sound now.In other words, Indie. Before Death Cab for Cutie went huge (probably debatable, but I fell in love with them with this album. Subsequent albums don't really compare) with arguable one of their best work "Transatlanticism", their past albums were also mellow, and doesnt sound like what they sound like now. The music softer, the lyrics more confusing if you will. If you listened to one of their even older album "You can play these songs with chords" or "Something About airplanes", you can't miss out Ben Gibbard's signature voice quality (To hear people say that Owl City's Adam Young sound like a more upbeat Ben Gibbard is so...insulting actually. But sadly, he does sound abit like Ben Gibbard) , but they sound more...rock if you will. Again, not as intricate. In other words, Indie. Yet, I think their past albums have a certain quality to them that their newer albums lack. Maybe it is because I dont really go for mainstream songs, or that I have heard so many different variants of their works, copied by so many different bands, that old music that didnt make them huge sound so much better. So maybe I just listened to their new music so much that I got sick of it. I have absolutely no idea what appeals to me. Soft slow music that burst into a climax are awesomeness to my ears, like Spanish Sahara from Foals, or Untitled 3 by Sigur Ros, but similar songs that try to do that still fail to interest me. Two Door Cinema Club danceable music was on repeat the past few days, especially Come back Home and Undercover Martyn, yet similar sounding bands, like Neon Tree or Bombay Bicycle Club doesnt appeal. Even in the 50gb of music that I have, half of them I hate, a quarter of them I dont really listen to, and the other quarter is divided between music I love, music I heard until I am bored of it, and music that I kinda like, and will listen, cause I have nothing else to listen. Seems like I am always searching for that elusive band/songs that will keep me interested. A few bands does that successfully, but after a while, I get sick of them. Maybe I should stop repeating them so much. Justin ranted at 1:39:00 pm on the |
