beerwolf Posted February 17, 2010 Share Posted February 17, 2010 Soooo many. I will be controversial here and start with BoC. Sure some of their stuff is mindblowingly good, but for me at least half of every album is padded out with filler. The Strokes Vampire Weekend Kings of Leon The Killers (classic first album, bit dodgy ever since and getting worse) Just for starters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sidewinder Posted February 17, 2010 Share Posted February 17, 2010 Vampire Weekend = This. Serious WTF. Of course there are tons of others, but some already mentioned I also don't get/hate: Lady Gaga (seems even people with respectable taste listen to her...seriously?) Arcade Fire (their first album made me want to kill babies) Kings of Leon (ew, from what I've heard) M83 (what I've heard is fucking crap) The Killers (can't stand their overproduced insincere sound since the first song I ever heard) The Strokes (yeah WTF is the big deal?) Others mentioned I like: Grizzly Bear: first time I ever heard Veckatimest it was a complete snooze-fest except for 'Two Weeks' which I'd already heard and prompted me to get the album. The second spin was only mildly more interesting. However with the 3rd, songs began to stand out and next thing you know there are five or six 5-star songs on the album. There are still a few duds though, unfortunately. On the other hand, I've tried listening to Yellow House a few times and still find it very boring. Animal Collective: I like MWPP quite a bit but can't get into their older stuff. They always seemed "weird for the sake of being weird" to me. I tried Strawberry Jam two weeks ago and it was rather painful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alzado Posted February 17, 2010 Author Share Posted February 17, 2010 whenever people seem to be universally going nuts over something, I'm usually pretty pumped to hear it. if it's bringing everybody else so much joy, i want to share the experience. so in that way, it's kind of disappointing when i can't get my head around the album or band.

Guest theSun Posted February 17, 2010 Share Posted February 17, 2010 animal collective makes pretty shitty noise music. their recent stuff is better, but what they accomplish in style i feel they lack in depth. their music just doesn't sit well with a ton of listens.

Yeah the problem with that is that hype often leads to disappointment. Especially if the album/band being hyped isn't necessarily in a genre you normally like, then you hear it, and you don't like it. Surprise surprise. I generally don't get excited about hyped stuff unless it's in line with my tastes. Then I get at the thought of something potentially awesome.

six Posted February 17, 2010 Share Posted February 17, 2010 I agree with most of the ones in here, especially Grizzly Bear and Beach House. I don't get all the hype for The Knife/Fever Ray. Cool tracks but I can't stand the singer's voice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr12000 Posted February 17, 2010 Share Posted February 17, 2010 Grizzly Bear & Animal Collective are always the first that come to mind,though I do like a few Animal Collective tracks...
