No Age is slowly growing on me

SpectralJulianIsNotDead · 01.25.2009, 04:31 PM

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.

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

davenotdead · 01.25.2009, 06:15 PM

i like these guys. i've seen them twice, and both times i ended up dripping with sweat/blood and a very sore right toe. a lot of fun

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 = \m/

i love it.

Everyneurotic · 01.26.2009, 12:48 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'.

RdTv · 01.26.2009, 07:06 PM

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.
