1- Why have you "tried" to like them? Do you feel that yr status as a
hipster kid up on the latest indie ticket requires to to "try" and like
all those bands yr "supposed" to? Have you, similarly, "tried" to like
Merzbow, the Boredoms, Neutral Milk Hotel, and Godspeed You Black
Emperor!? Why should anyone ever "try" and like music? If you like it,
you like it, if you don't, you don't, and who cares anyway?
2- That being said, what of theirs have you heard? -Come On Die Young-
is actually very different from their previous work, and is anything but
"boring noise complimented by quiet stuff" in the Slint vein. It
reminds me more of Labradford or GYBE! with maybe some hints of Low or
Rex thrown in there. If you can't, at least, appreciate the bliss-out
supernova of potential energy that is "Ex-Cowboy", then I don't know
what to tell you... maybe Mogwai isn't the band for you. How about
wasting yr time talking about the bands you DO like rather than asking
why you don't "get" a band yr "supposed" to?
Your pal,
Rev. Jack Godsey.
