just saw them live and i find it a little boring and repetitive... i know their are diferent, but, for the emotional fact, i preffer sigur ros... ops here: |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
was it good thou, how many people werre in therre? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I don't like them at all... sigur ros are much better! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah, sigur ros for me as well... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
they arre not 2 bands i usually comparre |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|
Nothing alike, Anus is right. |
||||||||

yeah, it was good, not bad... there was kinda 1000 persons. it was the presentation party of primavera sound festival, and the organization was bad and the people enter the site really slowly... gybe wanted to wait everybody to begin, so we were kinda 1'30 hour waiting for it... but thats ok... 10 minutes songs of repetitive sounds... well, they are emotional and intense but i think they are kinda lie, cause the only thing they do to get it is play it faster and higher... dont know... not but tho... in sigur ros i was about to cry. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
they're both post rock arent they? anyway i find them quite similar, but there are better bands playing the same music that i like better... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
you ever saw balago live? (they're from bareclona) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yes, they are not alike, but its not the kind of music i use to listen to, and the most similar to gybe i have is sigur ros...so i cannot avoid compare them... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
so? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
well, I guess you can compare any bands you like... but in my mind, these two are quite similar... and I enjoy sigur ros a lot more! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
tolstoyed, doyou really know balago??????? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||

GY!BE boring? Come on now, don't be silly. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
its not boring, but i usually get a bit tired of the repetitivnes...not always tho! |
||||||||
|

i thought balago were a barcelonian trio that nobody know... its a good new that they music has arrived to slovenia (!!!)... i discovered them in primavera sound 2002... i go to see them because i heard vltrmx21 sounding arround... so i follow the sound and i find the guys of balago beggining with the ae song... fucking incredible.... since then ive seen them a couple of times more here in barcelona... ive spoken about them here sometimes but nobody knew who they were... how did you know them? |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
check...i'll bump a thread i made about them on top |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|
ACK!!! *takes out paint ball gun* GY!BE is never boring.....aiiaiaiaiai they are so inventive and the music they make is not like any other......and there is NO comparison IMO to SR (who are also fantastic). some music may just hit you differently, but GY!BE is just as emotional as SR......but just in a different way.......... i dunno, i'd find another less inventive band to call boring..... |

I DO find it tough to sit through a GYBE track... sooooooo long. I'd love if they released a disc full of edited pop-versions of their best tracks! It just ain't for me, being such a pop-rocker. When I see a song length listed at 3 and a half minutes or less, that's when I'm at my happiest and grinniest. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
what really gets on my nerves about them, or at least the album I have, is that in one 20 minutes track, there is really a bunch of songs... and this annoys me because in order to hear one particular part I enjoy, I have to sit through 20 fucking minutes... plus, it ain't all that exciting to me... just my opinions obviously... |
||||||||

they're called movements, not songs (no singing, and they're not structured like songs). i'm not saying godspeed ARE classical, but the way they make their music is much more like classical than it is rock. sorry some of you can't appreciate that but believe me (and others) when we say that we love it and find a whole lot to enjoy. it's attentive listening music. |

i think to fully experience what gybe is about you need to have a certain mindset (is it the right word?), the right kind of focus, and patience. not for everybody. i don't find it boring. i do love it. |
||||||||

it's all the same though. I loved it when i bought a gybe!-album for the first time. Still quite liked it when i heard the 2nd one. But was just dissapointed with the 3rd one. I listened to their 4th album in the recordstore, but didn't even bother to buy it anymore. They make no progress whatsoever... shame. It's actually made me like the first 2 releases less... it's been ages since i listened to any Gybe! They were fantastic live though, i'll give them that. One of the best concerts i ever visited. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
fair enough... but still, these movements, they just don't seem to flow very well... the changes just seem to be too abrupt for me to be able to take it as one song... again, just my opinions... |
||||||||
|

is progress to you them switching instruments and recording everything on synthesizers and horns? some people i'm just not sure what they want... it's the same thing with techno, so many journalists (like @ Pitchfork) complain about no "progress" being made, but what does that mean? as a fan, i notice heavy progress with each godspeed album. they're each more proficient musically than the last. i don't like each one "better" but i notice greater skill involved and in the latest one there was a heavy shift toward more focus and development of less themes, rather than disjointly structured movements like funkmaster noticed (even if he called them songs). to me the newest album is a lot grimmer (in a good way) for this focus. |
||||||||
|

|

um, that's what i find odd... when people say that the new album is just like everything they've always done. i think yanqui is really quite different from what they've done before - actually i think all the albums have their own special atmospheres, yanqui most obviously a step into another direction. i don't know if it's just me but i sense so many different and complex emotions on yanqui and find something new on each listen.. oh and surrounded, you didn't really give it a try... a short glimpse, in a recordstore... heh, sorry if i rant.. this is just one of my biggest loves in music. |
||||||||

(i type slow) well said on the progress, titsworth. (something that i thought of writing but couldn't find the words.) yanqui u.x.o. does have a stronger (wrong word) focus, and i think that even Funkmaster could call them songs... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I don't write them off though... I have one of their albums, and one day I'll put it on and it'll probably blow me away... that's the way things usually work for me... just not feeling it right now... |

"is progress to you them switching instruments and recording everything on synthesizers and horns?" No, it doesn't have to be so drastic (altough what you said might also work ;-)). But just for them to try something else would be great. Explore, experiment... whatever. Maybe they should try to make shorter tracks, maybe take their concept even furter and make one 70 minutes-long track. Just anything that would surprise me and make me curious again... the same emotion i felt when i listened to Slow Riot... ep. "so many journalists (like @ Pitchfork) complain about no "progress" being made, but what does that mean?" Well... if you create something unique and beautiful for the first time... that's great! And surely that's what GYBE! did... when they created their first album it was original and unique and unlike anything else i ever heard. But then when an artist creates a 2nd album... you just hope they will have moved on. Maybe explore ideas from the previous album even deeper, add new elements or go in a totally different direction. Call me a critic, but i think progress is important. If you just keep making different versions of basically the same thing... that's pointless. What was once unique and beautiful becomes just a simple trick. Ultimately not interesting to listen to. When i listened to the Skinny Fists-album for the first time, i could just predict how the tracks would evolve. They lower the volume, just play simple pattern very soft over and over again, add a crazy sample of someone rambling. And then they slowly start to build it louder and louder... like a storm approaching from a distance and getting closer and closer. It's awesome the first time you experience it, but on Skinny Fists i thought it was predictable and boring. They haven't even got any better at it... (the smallest form of progress), any Skinny Fists-track could have easily been on the first album and vice versa. They're becoming a band like AC/DC... essentially creating the same album aga |

"oh and surrounded, you didn't really give it a try... a short glimpse, in a recordstore... " Well you're right there... maybe i didn't give it a fair enough chance. At first sight it seemed very similar to their previous recordings. But i could be wrong, maybe listening to it more would change my opinion. I'm willing to admit that :-p But truth is i've kind of lost interest in them, and don't really feel like paying 20 euros to give them another chance. |

I can't understand how anyone could put SR over GYBE... |

|

apperantly europeans prefer SR... |

I'm pretty sure that was the idea - they got the name from some Japanese scooter gang film. Listen to Storm again. |

umm, wow. Gybe is fucking incredible, sorry for the profanity but I had to. I really agree with fat kaimo and titsowrth on this one. all of theyre albums are pretty different, to me, f#a# infinity and slow riot are somewhat similar but lift your skinny fists to me sounds more "happy"(especially track one) and the whole albums sounds very different in mood and uses much more noise in the background while yanqui uxo is quite different even farther than not having samples(well the vinyl does at the end...the vinyl version of yanqui uxo whoops the cds ass, its loads better). yanqui uxo to me is different in that it has less movements, theyre mostly stretched out songs which they didn't do before. yanqui uxo is more political as well even though all their albums are, it feels moreso(not just by the artwork but theres something in the music). Im not gonna try and explain anymore how different it is but it is a different beast and like all their records, takes so time to appreciate. |
