It makes sense if you consider that I don't listen to much rock. That youthful aggression and energy isn't important in all genres. I value refinement and maturity in music more.

Tons of refinement and maturity in heavy music.

Oh I agree, what I meant was just that I don't place rawness and youthful hunger above all else like a lot of fans of punk and rock do. I tend to find the debut the worst with most bands, Elph tends to find it the best. I get why he sees it that way, but it's rarely the way it goes for me.

I'll check that track out a bit later. I think I've heard some allright music from King's X before.

^ Well said, MicShazam. That's how I often feel when confronted with many rock bands, but I'm too cool (or too concerned about my cred on MB ) to come out and say it openly.

Thinking about it, my grumble is this: almost every rock band has the same 4 basic instruments. On the majority of tracks, they all like to come in and play their parts. To my ears, this sometimes creates a muffled, overloaded and uniform sound. I think that's why I often retreat to folk, world or a capella music - to have a rest from all those drums and bass guitars.

While I really do like guitars, there's just so many more instruments out there, so I don't want to give 90% of my music listening time to just that old 4 piece configuration of drums, bass, guitars. For me, it's a fairly recent development though. I used to be all about guitar oriented music, but now I really want to hear more variety - and that big category we call world music really does deliver. I've been listening to Warsaw Village Band recently. If you don't know them, I highly recommend them



Some strings and horns come in later in the track for great effect. I just love how rich it sounds.

Yeah, that's a great, powerful track! A while back someone (Chiomara?) posted their music in the World Rec thread and I immediately downloaded everthing I could find.

I suppose I was thinking in very general terms about why some rock sounds kind of mediocre. In fact, rock is one of my favourite genres, with a million and one exceptions to what I was complaining about - or a million and one examples of when that 4-instrument line up is just perfect.

Yeah, I don't really know what post-punk sounds like, so I might take a look at the Minutemen that you mention. Thanks.

^ "Post hardcore" ? Are you just making up genre names to confuse me?
