The Appleseed Cast

"Max" is one of my favorite songs ever. The rest of their stuff just kinda bores me.

i guess depends on what your into... i really like them.. they remind me of floyd strange enough!. lots of instrument stuff and realyl good lyrics.. works well together in my ears

meh, like people have already said, it's overdone. a lot of bands sound exactly like them, but they do it better. It's not bad music, it just doesnt really add anything to the table, and the songs i listened to all sounded so similar they became really monotonous and boring.

If you ever manage to go to one of their shows, drink coffee. Lots of it.

I've been hearing more of them from people lately so I decided to give them a little listen and they are pretty good

I don't like. At all.

everyones heard of explosions in the sky right?
well to me when 'I' listen one of Appleseeds instruments songs, both those bands sound a lot alike and no i'm not just saying it becase in some songs its just instruments only, its the way both bands play, and how every thing just flows. because of this i find explosions in the sky remind me of Appleseed cast, and when i went to listen to explosions in the sky.. all i wanted to do was turn on Appleseed cast.. there not as good (explosions in the sky i mean), plus the songs that have lyrics to them are actually rather good.. until explosions in the sky.. the few songs that there is singing/really bad accent talking is rather bad.. there the songs i'd much rather skip over.

the Appleseed cast to me is a band that i can't seem to get sick of. I've been listening to the Low Level Owl albums like mad these past three months and i think there amazing. I got into other great bands more and more throughout the months but they don't stick to me like this band does. To me Appleseed Cast truely make great music.

Really. I would love to hear some bands that are like them. Yah I have heard explosions, and if you those kinds of bands you should check out Do make say think or mogwai. I'm more interested in their experimental music like low level owl Vol 1 and 2 and their new CD is pretty good too. I dont see how you can say they are monotonous and boring, their music just makes me want to listen to it over and over again. Anyways if you got some more bands along these lines just post them here

Oh yah I forgot to say, this post should be in the indie forum. Yah they got some emo bull**** in their songs but I think they are more experimental.

^I think they are more like boredom epitomised. But, to each his own. Just strikes me that this is a band that gets name-dropped far more often than is listened to. A more "underground" band that practically is no different to all the others.
