 Re: Mass of the Fermenting Dregs
Yeah, but you say that as a rabid NG fan, so your bias is clear. I always found Number Girl pretty hit and miss, so I actually prefer Mass overall.

 Re: Mass of the Fermenting Dregs
Yyyyyyyyyyup. I think they appeal to a totally different area than NG does.

 Re: Mass of the Fermenting Dregs
I tend to agree with Mare on the quality of MOTFD's songwriting. But songs like IF a surfer and Highlight are clearly inspired by NG's rhythmic stomp, which I like. I wouldn't say they were on the same level, though.
I believe it was [url=http://www.keikaku.net/reviews/178]Bob Vielma's review on Keikaku[/url] that was responsible for hyping this band up to unrealistic levels. I still can't believe he actually calls this band "post-punk." Interpol or Bloc Party or Lillies And Remains are post-punk. This ain't.

 Re: Mass of the Fermenting Dregs
I've never particularly cared for Keikaku's reviews. They're just as silly as Pitchfork most of the time, from what I've read.

 Re: Mass of the Fermenting Dregs
Never saw that review and don't feel like reading it now. I just stumbled upon them on YouTube and liked what I heard.

Same. I don't give a shit if they: A. Try to be NG B. Aren't as good as NG C. Are overhyped D. All of the above
They fucking rock.
