Is it me? Am I an uncool classic rock fart? I heard noise and din, and saw an act that was more trying to look impressive bizarre bohemian than be good musicians! They've lost me.

Yep... that's all it is. Noise and din. No musicians here.

OR.... you actually ARE an uncool classic rock fart.

Take your pick.

Interesting. Look, we have tonnes of ugly, community-impoverished urban sprawl up here in Canada. But flying over the USA, one cannot help but notice how the countryside is covered in low-density suburban sprawl. Wow! It never seems to end....

Three notes - yes, but something about it captures the dystopian ennui of the miles and miles of suburbs surrounding every major city — homogeneity, cloyingly simple, safe, and yet profoundly disturbing. Album of the year, for sure.

"You could have never predicted that it could see through you
Kasparov, Deep Blue, 1996
Your mind's playing tricks now
Show's over so take a bow
And leave it in the shadows"

"The first game of the 1996 match was the first game to be won by a chess-playing computer against a reigning world champion under normal chess tournament conditions, and in particular, normal time controls ." ( from wikipedia )

" I say your civilization, because as soon as we started thinking for you it really became our civilization, which is of course what this is all about. Evolution, Morpheus, evolution. Like the dinosaur. Look out that window. You've had your time. The future is our world, Morpheus. The future is our time." Agent Smith in The Matrix

Robo drumming. A band with a different aesthetic, good, but every song sounds like a clone of another, bad. What happened to the band of Keep The Car Running ?

It´s amazing what they can do with only three notes. Just like what some women can do with only two boobs.

Great segue from this song to CSN&Y's "Country Girl"—the similarities between the songs are obvious. This kind of musical overlap keeps the older songs fresh and relevant and makes older listeners appreciate the newer songs.

This is the primary reason for RP's excellence.

As someone who as several of their albums, they are fairly good musicians. I don't think any of them would say that they are in the league with the greats, but all of them are above average.

I've always felt that there is a difference between simplicity and lack of complexity.


As someone who used to be in a band with one of the band members, I can say that they are very good musicians. Much better technically than what the recordings display. My friend is grandson of the late, great Alvino Rey - there was certainly a musical influence in the family.

Hipsters wouldn't buy an album with more than three notes anyway, right?

We watched the end of the century
Compressed on a tiny screen
A dead star collapsing and we could see
That something was ending

Awesome record - and a live performance as good as any I've seen in quite some time.

there's actually 8 in total

The four with the landscapes should be distributed based on the region with that landscape. For instance, the second from the top left looks like it belongs in Ohio. But then again, I'm not in marketing, let alone strategic brand management.
