Thread 128309195

am i the only one who cant get into geese? i havent been on /mu/ in a while so idk what the consensus is here but i feel like everyone has been hyping getting killed an insane amount so ive tried to understand the appeal, but i cant help but feel like everyone is gaslighting me.

too many notes, formless song structure, no real melodies, i forget the songs as soon as they’re over, sometimes while im listening to them. it just sounds like nothing to me, if not being actively abrasive, just so much percussion and notes, it sounds like a bunch of monkeys on stimulants slamming on pianos. i want to like them, i like similar stuff, but my sense is that everyone wants to be in on the “new up and coming indie kids” and they happened to fit the bill, and has all these washed 40-something guys hyping each other up about how this album is such a masterpiece. i do think cameron winters voice is interesting, lyrics can be good when they’re not overly le random, and i like his solo stuff more, but still it feels like he has like three vocal “tricks” that he uses for like every song. if i could sum up my feelings its like they’re reddit parquet courts without the catchy songwriting

anyone else feel this way? idk

Not the same way but I spun the album and it sucks. I'm glad to find someone else immune to it.

You start a post with this then accuse others of redditness?

It's a break with zoomers' double-irony poisoned culture. Or at least it's a pretty good larp of that.
As the music deals in that kind of heartful wailing and primitive chord-bending that you hear in Tom Waits.
Plus the drumming on this album is hectic.
It really shits on the contrivance and fakery you see in mainstream pop, on the lethargic decadent indie shit and it does have actual melodies.
Tho it's true that Winter's overall tendency is to wander aimlessley and mumble and warble a lot, as if he's trying to avoid getting trapped into any obvious overdone structure.
Maybe the hype is overdone, we'll see. It might end up just being AOTY but maybe not more than that

That album has one song on it that I really like. 3D country also has like one or two songs I really like, and I skip everything else. But you should listen to Projector if you haven’t. That album only has one song I don’t really like. It has a different sound with more melody and groove, and it’s a lot more straightforward.
