    One of those rare moments when your first impression is "what the hell is this watered down imitation of something that happened way before they were born?" and at around the half-way mark you realise it's the best thing you've heard in ages.

      rory clynes Don’t be so cynical of something just because other people like it. The fact of the matter is this is objectively well written music; if you don’t like the style than that’s fine, but to say it’s badly written is wrong. Because it is well written.

    • @ojwar

    @paulnottherealmccartney8558 5 років тому +145

    Why do people hate the band?
    The melody is great,
    The chord progression they used in this song is far complex and superior than your typical 4 chords pop songs holy sht. These guys are genius, at the age of 19 and 21 they've created one of the best pop albums ever created. I'm probably biased because i've heard all of their songs and it touched my heart, it gave me hope for the generation Z music movement.
    They experimented a lot and it gave them personality that no one in the mainstream music could par.

      @@Linusgirthking well the complexity of this song is something worth of praise. Although, the structure of this song is unconventional and seems weird, it still manages to make it really catchy and that is something not easily achievable. It takes great amount of effort to create such music.
      It is true that complexity doesn't equal to good but to simply put what i've said earlier, the complexity of this song makes it great.

      I completely agree that there are so many good bands around, but they haven't been getting the attention they deserve. Look just to European festivals like Pink Pop and Glastonbury's thinning out of promoting really good bands in the last ten years or so. Small venues are also having more and more trouble attracting good bands (money ) and being a support act means nothing anymore, unfortunately !

      Yes, his overly nasal vocal and poor projection does make it a little hard to hear the lyrics.

    Love the Lemon Twigs. Brian needs to boost his guitar level a little on the solos, he's an excellent player, but you can hardly hear him.

      this is a pretty weird mix in general, not on Brian but the sound engineer

      @@omrixeren I agree and they need to turn Brian's guitar up louder so we can hear his genius!

    Just discovered them. Must have been living in a cave. They are so good. They remind me of the bands from the 60s and 70s which is a compliment btw.
