It's not hypnotic like good krautrock - it's too mechanical. If they did that for 10 minutes at a show I would consider going and getting a beer. I enjoy it for about a minute and then I'm ready to move on to the loveliness that is wonder 2.

Does anybody like "Nothing Is"? I can't fathom how this made the cut on a 9 song album 20 years in the making.

i love it. it's relentless, the sheer repetitiveness is sort of the point. best played loud.

 

i bet you listen to techno that's the same four bars over and over and don't complain.

With Kaini on that one. I think "Nothing Is" kicks ass.

whats giving me cancer is not knowing where your avatars from :emotawesomepm9:

Please stop posting sexy pictures of Stoya as your avatar. It is distracting me from being able to properly use WATMM.

Saw them live last night at Ill be your mirror festival (had tickets to see them at the Friday sideshow, yesterday morning was offered a free festival ticket from someone who was friends with someone staffing a food stand^~^ ^~^)

 

I was loving it up until the extended noise ending at the end of the set. I honestly stood there for the whole 15 minutes thinking "I don't get this..". I didn't 'get' it.

 

Also, of the new material they only played New you. Was kind of hanging out for some more new material, considering the album is actually good. But oh well.

 

(Can't complain considering it was a free ticket. Will leave that for Friday:)

the last 3 songs are ok, the rest is meh. maybe 22 years ago it would have passed but now.... nah, i doubt they care anyway, it certainly sounds that way.

 

would have passed? loveless is tremendous!

 

You can't accuse them of not caring and then classify their sound as just adequate if it were released 22 years ago... I know everyone has their opinion, but at least be fucking consistent. :cerious:

Last three tracks are the worst. The beats for In Another Way and Nothing Is are embarrassing, and then there's that jungle pattern and the completely invasive flanger effect on Wonder 2. Also, Nothing Is is just a riff that recycles for 3 and a half minutes? What?I don't understand how virtually no one has a problem with these songs.

I like it loads, and there's a bit more to it than just a riff that recycles for 3 and a half mins. to me, anyways.
