fuck buttons.............. appreciation thread

PAULYBEE2656 · 05.12.2008, 01:46 PM

yeah i know they are "hip" and so forth but does anyone else think their street horrrsing album is a work of sublime genius.

i mean, seriously, it captivates you for 10 or 12 minutes then halfway through track three, one chord change and the whole album is shifted and comes into life. i mean, its an incredible piece of work, music designed to bend the ear...

i realize a lot will disagree but fuck the critisisms... i love this album.... at the moment album of my year!

Yeah! The Buttons. Played with them a few years ago. Thoroughly decent chaps, albeit as gay as Christmas.

Everyneurotic · 05.12.2008, 03:03 PM

i really really really like their album, i was very surprised by how good it is. will be programming on my podcast next week.

SYRFox · 05.12.2008, 03:13 PM

Yep it's a fucking great album. Tied for album of the year so far with the Mahjongg one, imo

batreleaser · 05.12.2008, 03:34 PM

i still have yet to hear them and ive been meaning to for a while. theyre supposed to be like a power electronics who makes pretty melodies too, or something like that, right?

Everyneurotic · 05.12.2008, 04:16 PM

it's like a harsh noise/power electronics band that isn't noisy at all but have great songs.

radarmaker · 05.12.2008, 05:56 PM

I approve of this band.

Toilet & Bowels · 05.12.2008, 06:26 PM

i saw them at atp, a bit hippy/trancey for my taste. haven't heard the album but i'm surprised at the hype they've been getting

pokkeherrie · 05.12.2008, 06:27 PM

the album is alright; but not as good as everyone says it is... might go see them next week.

edit: yeah, too much hype.

SpectralJulianIsNotDead · 05.12.2008, 06:41 PM

Pretty cool stuff IMO.

so a harsh noise bands that isnt harsh? that kinda puts me off, i like noise that makes my ears bleed, but if they have great songs, ill check em out.

Everyneurotic · 05.12.2008, 09:02 PM

yeah, they are pretty good at what they do and to me it sounds like they are doing soft noise so to speak.

i know how i put it makes it sound like poser shit but it's really good. i don't think of them as the ultimate band but the record is pretty cool for a hipster hype band.

05.13.2008, 03:30 AM

Everybody knows and likes this band. Everybody.

hat and bread · 05.13.2008, 04:20 AM

I saw them live and was quite underwhelmed. Haven't heard the CD yet, but I have a feeling I might like them better on record. Too much hopping.

I'm not crazy about them but they're ok, a bit too background music for my liking, still not bad. I think you might like them, go see them. Where are they playing?

nicfit · 05.13.2008, 07:14 AM

They'll play in a small club in my hometown (that I doubt will manage to handle good enough the Melt Banana and Liars gigs in the coming weeks...) called Unwound club. The acoustic and lights aren't that good, but usually the ticket is pretty cheap.
I might go, I won't to listen to them before the gig, I want to be "surpised" for once, he he. It's been a while since I last went to see a gig of a totally unknown (to me) band.
Thanks for the suggestion.

therealglenstyler · 05.13.2008, 07:38 AM

the album sounds like a stuck Muse cd with the vocals off jesus built my hot rod drifting over the top every now and then...despite (or maybe because of) this it still somehow manages to be great.

_slavo_ · 05.18.2008, 05:39 AM

This album is a bomb. Nothing has struck me so hard in a long time, music-wise.

Onani Nic · 05.18.2008, 06:29 AM

Can't dig it. It sounds very computer and modern keyboard generated, it kinda lacks any feeling to my ears.
