To me, this is one of the best pop songs of the last years. these days, no one can really pull off such a great piece of songwriting like bradford cox.

@helmetboy123456 nah, they just 'extended' the line-up for this performance. It's Cole Alexander from the Black Lips on guitar and the keyboardist is Adam Bruneau from the Back Pockets.

Let me just say that I think the reasons that so many bands are compared to Velvet Underground are that 1) The VU was, is, and always will be a seminal force in rock and roll history. It's just an inescapable fact. 2) Therefore, many bands study, idolize, and yes, even imitate and draw upon the VU with clear intent, and there is no shame in that.

@Trippylaud there will always be at least one troll on every KZfaq video! Don't mind them and their incessant need to troll. And i agree, Bradford's vocals in this performance are solid. As much as i love theem, his vocals live haven't always been their strongest point imo.

Explain in great detail what about the chord structure melody, and general arrangement of the song is displeasing. What you have done here is make a very broad statement backed up by no evidence, and it is therefore difficult to take you seriously. If you have a legitimate point I would like you to make it.

@FfejTball 12 жыл бұрын

How much effort have you actually put into understanding that warrants your gross generalization of "this generation" and "this songwriting"? You want quality of style? Rilo Kiley, Greensky Bluegrass, Mates of State, Arcade Fire, Grizzly Bear, Lemon Jelly, Maps and Atlases, Nujabes, Royksopp, Gorillaz, Mumford and Sons, Radiohead... I mean, those are all very obvious names. There's *SO MUCH MORE* that I haven't listed, and that I don't even know about. What stinks here, is your attitude.

Everyone seems on edge or high on a black microdot. The rhythm is way to fast. The song’s short, but the beats here just kick the song along a short path, too fast.

Forgive me but I don't understand the mentality of this generation. This songwriting really stinks. Is there no discernment left in the general public listening audience that apprectiates quality of style, form, arrangment, and melody. Their songs really stink.

Sad that any group of people can make themselves look homeless (which means they're "artistic") and play complete nonsense that my 7 year old can play on guitar and drums as "music" and somehow people see it as some kind of musical genius. It's not. It's horrible. I can't even figure out what they're trying to do.

@charliemorrolo5133 7 жыл бұрын

lmao is this a serious comment? You come off as a very boring "by the books" kind of person. Anything that ever changed anything in the world has been unconventional to the previous paradigm. Especially art. There's no definitive way to describe what an art piece is. It's a piece of your soul manifested through you using what is available to you as a medium. This is what deerhunter produced at this point in time they found themselves in. If your kid ever gets into self expression of any kind they're in for some hard times with your attitude. Try to not be stale as fuck and you might enjoy what other human beings have created.
