No Age is slowly growing on me
 
They've got some seriously good hooks that have snared me. The verse on Teen Creeps and that little riff are simply awesome.

SYRFox 01.25.2009 04:50 PM

Yeah man! I really really like them
Nouns' second half is awesome
They were really good when I saw them live too

joe11121 01.25.2009 05:06 PM

Me Too! I'm just starting to listen to them. They're really good

atsonicpark 01.25.2009 05:08 PM

They're growing on you?

You may want to go to the doctor to get that removed.

joe11121 01.25.2009 05:08 PM

Ha!

the last track on that album.. BRAIN BURNER? is their best song i think

davenotdead 01.25.2009 06:15 PM

i agree and probably the only good one.

i first liked the record but it gets shittier with every listen.

atsonicpark 01.25.2009 08:26 PM

I just think they're boring as fuck. Boring badly recorded shit (that doesn't benefit from being lo-fi).

Everyneurotic 01.25.2009 08:32 PM

definitely, i like that song and another one though. they make it work there.

Rob Instigator 01.26.2009 11:37 AM

I really like the record. I listen to it and I rock it hard. it is good shit!!!! Lo-fi? I just love the skronk!!!!!!!!!!!!

king_buzzo 01.26.2009 12:41 PM

No Age along with Fucked Up know punk rock and exemplify it beautifully. TNV are more of a stunt, an act than a band.

Everyneurotic 01.26.2009 04:44 PM

sure dude, especially fucked "we're innovative because we write 6 minute punk songs that are boring as shit" up.

Bollocks_to_Pop 01.26.2009 04:47 PM

The thing I like about No Age is that they're totally not pretentious. I've seen them live twice now and they put on a really good show, but afterwards they're totally cool about talking with people. I've talked to Randy twice for a bit and he's a real cool guy.

In regards to their music, I'm not going to try and argue that it's really "original". However I find for me that it's just really fun to put on one of their records and rock out to it. I like how some of their songs are high energy punk songs and then there are the more ambient noise tracks (for lack of a better term) as well. Brain Burner is one of my favorite songs of theirs but Everybody's Down is their best to see live.

why can't we have both?

GravitySlips 01.26.2009 06:34 PM

yeah, times new viking and no age are both pretty good. neither are that great though, tbh.

atsonicpark 01.26.2009 06:52 PM

I love lo-fi stuff, you know... Ignatz and Hospitals and stuff like that, real lo-fi recorded-in-a-toilet-bowl stuff. I don't think No Age really benefits from being lo-fi though, as I think the production of their songs actually need a bit of a sparkle and punch to 'em. Because they feel really lifeless -- which they are, it's boring mundane mediocre rock shit without much going on. Not innovative in the least, by the way. A lot of bands like Pavement, Sebadoh; they were lo-fi because they HAD TO BE. Just sayin'.

I need to listen to this album more. The first few times I heard iot there was a lot of background noise and I thought the music was excellent. Upon listening to it now, there may have been confusion betweeen the music and background noise.
