Didn't issue MM.
Of the tracks I've heard, they sound like a dreadful band. Your comments on the live shows won't help.
But since transplant dude decided he's Mr. Portland now(since it worked so well for Art Alexakis), I'm sure he'll turn up somewhere. He'll probably end up playing the Bite, or some such thing. I'd hate to sully my beautiful image of the Crystal by going to a shit band there.

From what I've heard of MM, they're not "good" by any stretch of the imagination.
And let's not get started on your credibilty on what is and isn't "good," what say?
Just because they appeal to your newfound "teen angst," doesn't make them good, despite how "sonically massive" you may think they are.
I was considering issuing, because I think I had them confused with someone else. They were playing 5 consecutive shows.
MM is Zepplin for gay people, set to a drum machine. Not good. I think they need to be more repetitious.....not.

If you caught them on a good night, congrats. They're notorious for bad live shows.!zzubevol wrote:wrong on both counts.Dinsdale wrote:From what I've heard of MM, they're not "good" by any stretch of the imagination.

i might have simple expectations from a live show...
they sounded awesome, deece musicianship, they were fun, i was tipsy and in good company, so...
i guess i just meant that i dig some of their old stuff a lot, and they played a lot of it, and well.
it completely sucks to go pay a load of cayshe to see someone, and then they sound so fucking bad, that like - you figure the only way (most artists today i guess) they even sell any records at all, is cause of the studio wizards...
i've never heard anything about MM being known for sucky live shows. then again, i don't know anybody into them at all...

It's an entertaining show, for sure, it's just not a show of high quality musicianship. It just all depends on WHY you go to shows to begin with, though. I like to have a nice little balance of both. They like to get the crowd out of mere head-bopping mode, and into a four on the floor frenzy. They do this by repetitious, thumping bass lines which tend to drown out all the other instrumental nuances, which "real" fans normally enjoy from the original studio recordings.
In this sense, Dins is correct in his assessment of the band, but ONLY from a live standpoint. I'd hope his sole judgement of the band is not based entirely on MM's newest release, because all their stuff prior is music so different, that it could probably be given a different genre altogether.

that's not what He told Me...
mr. cutting - *shrugs* as i said, they were solid musicians when i saw them. for as long as they've been together, playing and whatever - they should be.
at any rate, i get what yer saying. i pretty much think EVERYBODY thinks whatever they do about MM based on the last release. which i like, but agree with you that it's so completely different from anything else they've put out before. another reason why i'm diggen on them, i guess. that they have the ability to do that, rather than what most do - recycle the same shit, year after year, well...
to each his own, i guess.
