It's funny - calling I Hate Music a disappointment is so unfair, but that's how I think about it when compared to the almighty awesomeness of Majesty Shredding. Every new record can' t be better than a band's best ever, I get that. In theory. But I had such ridiculously high expectations.

There are a handful of tunes that sound more...Portastatic than Superchunk, if that makes sense. Not bad at all, just not Superchunk. And the H/C tune is kinda silly. All these middle age indie-rockers fondly remembering their H/C roots (and i say this as a middle age indie-rocker who has no H/C roots to look back on fondly).

See, I dig that HC tune Am I considered middle aged yet at 32? I look back fondly on my HC roots and am still seeing HC shows from time to time though.

One of my favorites, too. It will make my Top 10 list for the year, though I first heard it last year before its re-release on What's Your Rupture? earlier this year, so I don't know if it's technically eligible? Nevertheless, I've played that one more and more as the year has gone on. It's definitely had a bit of staying power. I've heard they're not so hot live, though.
pedro, Red Hare will definitely be in my Top 10 as well. I like m b v quite a bit, too, but other than the middle three songs, I can't help but be a little disappointed given the massive expectations.

Parquet Courts is great live. I've already seen them a few times. You should check them out.
