You’ve never heard such energy, beauty, and emotion from such a young band. Fans of Neutral Milk Hotel, Broken Social Scene, and Roxy Music’s first two albums will have a new favorite band…. More >>
Funeral
This is a truely woeful album. Overblown, pretencious, uninventive and loved by Pitchfork. What a surprise. Rating: 1 / 5
I have to say, after listening to these 30 second music clips, I can’t help but wonder why everyone so enamored of this band. I think if I wanted to hear music like this, I would check out Ed Harcourt. Harcourt is more talented, and his voice is much better. Rating: 2 / 5
This “Funeral” album got it’s share of hype, but it really amounts to nothing more than tripe.
This work has been mentioned in Top 10 lists, album reviews, on Amazon, etc. I reviewed each song from “The Funeral” here on Amazon, and I wouldn’t spend a single penny at a BMG blowout on it. I needed a funeral for my ears, as the lead vocals are painful at best. The album, a limp-risted work, sounded like a cross between Queen and Modest Mouse, and that’s probably an insult to Brian May. The music isn’t that good. If this sounds like your bag, go get this CD. Rating: 1 / 5
I was recommended this album by Amazon, and read all the great reviews, so figured I’d give it a shot. So I get it yesterday, throw it in…and man, it’s bad. Not awful, but just bad. The rifts are decent – reminds me a bit of Neutral Milk Hotel – but the lead singer is just awful. Just thinking about his voice gives me a migraine. In the end, I’m going to go against the grain and say move on. Rating: 2 / 5
After reading the countless positive reviews, seein it number 1 on critics list i was expecting either someting that was truly great or just boring hipster music that critics eat up like candy. And well it turned out just to be boring hipster music that critics love. I am completly in awe about all the hype and praise this “music” has been getting. i really cant believe rock has sunck this low Rating: 1 / 5
