Bands that are better 'in theory' than in reality

Message Bookmarked

Bookmark Removed

This be a thread dedicated to the recitation of bands that you feel sound better in theory than they are when you actually listen to them. This can be due to band philosophy, their 'sound', personnel, past credentials, etc.

My winner in this category goes to Tribe Called Quest. Without a doubt, the hip-hop group I would like to like more than any other due to their general positivity, jazz samples, and low-key style, but when I listen to them I'm convinced that the concept of Tribe is much better than the reality of Tribe. Sadly, I find that their records are somewhat bland and forgettable, as opposed to, say Pharcyde, which I sort of see as their slightly more mischievous West Coast parallel.

Unfortunately, I would have to put Warren Zevon here too, although a few of his songs are absolutely killer.

I'll second Beefheart. I've never heard a piece of his music that I liked as much as I should based on everything I've ever read about him. Especially with his supposed sonic proximity to Tom Waits, who is like one of my five favorite songwriters ever.

Really? Captain Beefheart?

Um, yep...I give my copy of Trout Mask a spin every now and again...I really like some of it (Frownland esp.) but I've just never been able to totally dig it (not that I dislike it, but like the thread says I like the IDEA of Beefheart more than Beefheart usually...and I do like lots of Skin Graft/US Mapley type stuff too so it's not really the skronk that throws me)....

I have never heard The Faint....they are like a new punk/gothy type thing, right?

It's weird, DJ Shadow makes me feel weird when he talks (like the way he drops the "ur" sound from the word records ['rekkids'] but no other words), like it should be all an act of ridiculous pretention (not saying it's not), but as soon as his shit comes on I have no arguments.

He is weird though with making beats for MCs. Sometimes his productions for vocalists is fucking unbelievably badass (like Lifesavas "Emerge") and other times really bland (Latyrx "The Gathering Storm").

Even before I knew they were George's songs, my favorite Beatles songs (with the exceptions of "Eleanor Rigby" and "A Day In The Life") have almost always been "Within You Without You" and "Something" and "As My Guitar Gently Weeps". But as the saying goes, I'm different.

Medicine warmer than MBV? I mean, this is one of those personal-metaphor things that I probably have no right to get on anyone's case about (sorry), but in all of the traditional audio-engineering senses of that term, it is so totally totally the other way around: Medicine were at most points all about ear-laceratingly slashy treble-heavy guitars, as opposed to the sorta denser, rounder, mid-rangier hum of MBV. The original run of Medicine -- not counting that newest -- was damned frosty, in my opinion.

I feel weird posting that since (a) a certain Medicine-man reads this board, plus (b) obviously you know what you mean by "warm" and like Medicine better, which is fair and happy hallelujah. The only thing that kept me from every really loving the hell out of any whole Medicine album (and I got close with Shot Forth Self Living) was that there were always points where things lost their way a little bit, and wound up descending into an uncomfortable murk that I think was meant to be dubby but never quite got me, personally, feeling it. Also I liked it better when Brad sang (high female vox took the thin-treble quotient to almost uncomfortable levels!) and he didn't do it all so often.

I'd say the entire new generation of postpunk bands. Bringing back the spirit of postpunk is a good idea, but the new bands' songs just don't hold up the way Wire, The Cure or Magazine did back then.

Forgive me if they've been mentioned already, but I'm going to cite THROBBING GRISTLE here in as much as it's the ideas put forth by the band that were so significant rather than the actual execution. I was paging through "The Secret History of Rock" by Roni Sarig this week, and there was a great quote from Lou Barlow about TG about how they inspired him more to go out and make his own music more than they inspired him to listen to theirs, and that's pretty accurate, I'd say. I love that TG existed, and I so totally admire what they did and stood for and the manner in which they executed the idea, but to listen to their stuff? Not always that great an experience. Like I mentioned on another thread today, I saw a copy of their unweildly box set this week (containing twenty-four hours worth of recorded live material) at a 'reduced price' (though not reduced enough for my taste). I was tempted, but then I thought....would I ever actually listen to all of it? Or even enough of it to make it worth it?

For the most part Cheap Trick. Although they have some really great moments that would make a very good 60 minute compilation, even their best albums are littered with filler and mediocrity. Yet, I am compelled to think of them as being better than they usually deliver, because of their sense of melody, aesthetics, and esp. their sense of humor.

Naked City. On paper they were going to become one of my teenage self's favourite bands but they're only half great, most of their covers are terrible, they're too slick and you can tell they're reading the sheet music esp. on the slower tracks. Needed more drama, more Spillane style atmosphere and some Mike Patton crooning.

A few others: Jeru the Damaja, Suicidal Tendencies, Queen, Bob Dylan (not trolling, not saying he isn't good, just never been able to get into him at all), Red Hot Chili Peppers - wait scratch that I don't like them in theory either.

This one confuses me as all of their albums seem to have radically different production style.

I can see saying Animal Collective though. I love their use of technology, the tribalism, the mystery, the fact that for the longest time you couldn't make out what they were saying, the unconventional melodies, their approach of the halfway point between noise and music. But I wish they didn't have to be so cutesy or cloying about it sometimes. I think they occasionally suffer from that indie rock "childhood wondermint" fixation that I hate to much.

― filthy dylan, Thursday, 16 August 2007 08:17 (5 years ago) Permalink

I like Naked City all right, though it's nowhere near my favourite Zorn project. I'm not sure they'd be better if they were more brutal or 'rougher.' I think the aesthetic is more one of cartoonish mania (rather than brutal chaos or something) and the 'slickness' (to the extent that I can see it) works with this. The production is a little dated though, if that's all you guys are referring to.

I really disagree about Cage but I generally like him more for his relatively 'conventionally' written pieces than for the most extreme conceptual chance music. (In some of those cases, I'm not really sure the concepts are as interesting as some people make them out to be.)

The slickness about Naked City that gets me is on tracks like Inside Straight which is all one eyebrow cocked sleepy arsehole lounge and completely at odds with all the intensity of the cartoon stuff like "Thrash Jazz Assassin", "Kaoru", "Punk China Doll" with the F-Zero X guitar and Taz in Tazmania vocals. I like Grand Guignol much more than the others I've heard.

― Sundar, Thursday, 16 August 2007 16:22 (5 years ago) Permalink

The contrast works within tracks where it rampages through styles at pace, but esp on the first album there are whole tracks of this languid politeness that are awful. What made me think of Mike Patton upthread was that tracks like Sweet Charity from California are an invigorated take on a sound similar to some of the terrible Naked City tracks where it feels really by-numbers.

5 years pass...

Band of Susans may be the ultimate example of this for me. By all rights, I should like them: 80s noise/drone guitar rock with a post-minimal pedigree (Chatham proteges no less), pop hooks in the classic Amerindie style. Somehow, nothing seems to come together right on the records, though: The cheesy 80s production with giant gated drums might work if this were spare new wave/postpunk but it seems to work so strongly against what they were going for. The rhythm section is plodding and uninspired, just a constant predictable backbeat. I find Poss's voice completely unappealing. The guitars drone but never quite seem to deliver much in terms of rich textures or innovative sounds. They never seem to really nail a pop hook like REM or Husker Du or, say, the Mary Chain or MBV could. ("Hard Light" comes closest.)
