So I went to their gig a little controversed 'cause they are those kind of band that makes Warp Records less and less electronic. Fuck off, impostors! But they rock! Battles are amazing. I had listened to their album before and found great, but now I am even convinced they are not that bad for my favorite IDM label. Who else have seen them live? What's wrong with their singer? |

not seen, liked the album if ya care... Actually I'm kinda disappointed I don't hate all these "impostors", these acoustic party boys, as much as I expected. ELECTRONIC WHAT'S THAT?? |

WELL THAT'S KINDA MADE WITH SYNTHS AND COMPUTERS, YOU KNOW? but impostors shall not be haten ok |

battles are hecka electronic with all the looping, synths and apple computers they use. anyway, i saw them live a couple weeks ago at a sold-out show at lee's palace and they were incredible. i was sitting on the stool in the middle right behind the dance floor. it was so intense i could barely move. when the drummer first started up i could feel my heartbeat being rearranged. epic stuff. also love how absolutely drenched in sweat they were. |

i've listened to the album a few times but it totally didnt do anything for me. and this had nothing to do with any warp bias you might be thinking of. |

ive seen them before they released their album, and then after. they were better when they were playing their ep stuff. get the eps, theyre cool. |

cool, the album downloaded very swiftly--and I didn't start the download until Futurama: The Movie finished... I'll burn it tomorrow morning and listen to it whilst working. |

I only listened to the track "Atlas", and i didnt really like it at all. Can anyone reccomend another that will win me over? |

I love the album. haven't seen them live though. |

trueish, that, but you know i'd like to separate faux electronic like battles, radiohead and - hell - linkin park from our good friends who vamp it up with da 808's and 303's... maybe those people don't exist (neither of those kinds of groups I describe), but I like to wallow in some weird idealism of puritanism |

they are mind blowing live, never seen band members work so hard for a sound, as said above they're literally dripping in sweat for teh whole gig. they must be super fit. there is always so much going on, bah what a great band. on a side note we stole their towels wrote a battles inspired song about it called 'battles towel'. werrd. |

jeez. watching some live vids. it may be respectable? or something that all the members are sweaty and getting into it, but that isnt a good enough reason to get me listening to music that sounds like ass. still dont get it :P |

im in the lucky position that i appreciate hoe hard the work and the energy of their live show and i also love the music, what a shame you don't like them. |

DP: Get Lleyendecker. That's the catchiest tune on the album. all in all, the album is pretty decent, but faaairly overhyped. i really don't mind warp releasing rock/whatever, so i'm not insulted. i'm sad they don't release as much electronic stuff anymore though, i think a bit of balance would be good! i still adore them for bringing gravenhurst to my attention though, that's some of the best music that warp has ever released and totally up there in quality with all the 'primary' electronic artists. |

i agree it's being overhyped, though there are couple of nice tunes on it |

gravenhurst, battles, !!! ... not a bad cadre after all... although I think Warp should split already into sub-labels or something... |

If you look at Netwerk which first released Skinny Puppy, they eventually found out they could actually make MONEY with stuff like Sarah Mclahgclekfin , GOB, and Avril Lavign. Guys from warp should just release online. Honestly I think they are scared that some 16 year old kid with fruity loops is going to pwn the shit out of their work. |
