Recently, I've start browsing these forums on a daily basis and I see this specific album being mentioned quite frequently. Apparently, it's one of the best indie albums ever. I couldn't believe it, so I gave it another listen.
Still not good.
Another listen.
Still not good. Do I just lack the proper appreciation for music? Is something wrong with me? I find NMH to be poorly composed and produced, boring, and worst of all, the singer is quite terrible. Some lyrics are profound and interesting, but then I hear "Semen stains the mountaintops" repeated over and over...

Math Rock falls under the indie rock umbrella, as does a lot of post hardcore which is part of LSV's sound and influence too.
That's the problem with indie as a genre is that everyone thinks it only includes bands with a specific sound now. Bands that were originally indie before it became a sound (including LSV) are now being questioned.
