Ha Ha! This thread was great. It should be bronzed. I liked the Northern State e.p. I thought it was really funny.

No, both Dan and Spencer like them, as does good friend Stripey, so for me that's usually a good sign. (If all I get is a half-hearted Banshees revival with a worse drummer, though...)

Yeah, I wish the Yeah Yeah Yeahs were weirder; they seem kind of *average* somehow. Especially "Maps" (that's the ballad, right?), which I don't get at all; it really sounds pedestrian to me, and not particularly pretty or catchy either.

I agree with this. (Than the *rock* that gets on the radio, anyway.)
And yeah, Scott likes more "real" metal than I do, probably -- stuff that strikes me as gratuitiously ugly and not sad or beautiful or rock'n'rolling enough. (Though he is right about that Das Oath CD!) (Though I think he calls them "punk," so maybe they don't count.)

Bombastic drums + open fifths + arpeggio-heavy melody = HEAVEN.
It is missing a verse but hey put that fantastic false instrumental verse in there instead.

I enjoyed the YYY's pretty much and when I heard "Maps" right after the album came out I knew it was going to be big...its got the yearning melody etc. I don't care much for the rest of the record aside from "Y Control" probably for the same reasons Chuck doesn't like the group as a whole - except I think Maps and Y Control are exceptions.

Had a weird urge to revisit their music. They are definitely wince-inducing.
