it seems I thought they were dance like the Chems, and Petey is saying they aren't. Really? I always thought that was what they were doing and it was leaving me cold.
Not really, no. There's a variety and willingness to experiment there that yr Chemical Brothers and the like refuse to go anywhere near. There's also a punchy brightness, a lightness of touch to the best of their stuff, whereas those that Petey mentions in comparison - Chems, Underworld - have a habit of making everything they touch turn into a bit of a plodding dirge, sort of like Oasis with a different instrument set. Which is pretty much what I think Where's Your Head At is, tbh. Cannot abide that track.
My opinion on them hasn't really changed since that last thread - half of Remedy is fantastic, half dull, Rooty is pretty great bar a couple of major duffers, and the best tracks off Kish Kash still have a habit of sounding exciting for the first minute or so, before they start to feel overfamiliar and oppressive. There's not really anything on that one for me, I'm afraid. They seem to me to be a great band in desperate need of some quality control.
As for why you don't like them, well, I don't know. I'm not sure it's something that particularly *matters* though, in the grand scheme of things. |
