I guess the problem for me is the post rock math rock genre since most of the ones posted so far in the 'whadya thinka this song' fall into that group and they are all just ok . Nothing special here either imo.
I did look at their page here and they did get some high ratings though the voting was low.
Interestingly zravkrapf chose to play a song from their lowest rated album.

My error...seemed like most of them were . There were also some rio/avant also.
Maybe I'm getting too old to recall.

A little monotone and flat for my taste. Not crap, but not necessarily good; somewhere in between.

What Rio/Post Math rock ? It is a zouk dance, no? That reminds me when I lived in Guadeloupe.

Fourteen songs in your series so far, and most of them suck. Sorry, it seems to me bands can no longer write songs, they merely string together different sequences and then repeat. I am not sure if it's because the internet allows for more mediocrity to be heard or if bands are simply losing compositional skills.

Very nice track. Voted "good", yet again. Seems like all of the tracks in this series I heard today was on the good side, but nothing really blew me away. Closest was perhaps Maneige.

Nothing special but it didn't force me to stop it, so it's good.

1) They're hardly all 'new' bands.
2) Don't base your opinion of modern music on what I post.LOL
3) I like all the songs I post but none of them are either a popular or representative track from each artist; I try to avoid both anything too 'out there' as well as anything that could get played on the radio.
4) You might like the next one (if you're not already familiar)
5) Thanks for listening and your feedbackThumbs Up

We should keep posting Jethro Tull so we can keep reading your great posts swooning over them. Oh wait, i'd rather post something about how i hate JT and Ian Anderson is borderline unlistenable. Or maybe i can make a post saying that music died in 1976 and why someone didn't clone Peter Gabriel (or did they?) so we can hear real music. Pffft, that's just all silliness though. Nobody could actually think that. 


Keep up the great work Darryl.

That's a pretty cool tune.  Not a lot going on, but I like the whimsical feel to it.  Definitely good.

Not really bad, but just a bit too crappy to be called good. Strongly reminiscent of British synth pop from the early 80's.

I like the idea of the thread but I have to agree that many of the song selections have been somewhat ...er..lame.
This would also work for a thread entitled what dya think of this album...?
