    The dance-ability in this track is incredible. It's a shame they moved away from this sound. There was so much energy there.

    I am pretty sure the drummer for Foals has to be injected with speed before each performance. He is one of the fastest, most precise drummers in indie rock.

      It's posible but in metal and hard rock music, you have a lot of faster drummers.

      Hubba BubbaBB Matt's great, as is The Walkmen's drummer. Both are very energetic and always seem to play what sounds right. I don't know if they're the best, but they should both definitely be in the convo.

    A band isnt a band without all of its members, but in this case I dare to say, the bassist is the key point to their music.

  • @soylentgreen6727
    @soylentgreen6727 5 років тому +6

    IMO this is their best album, it's the math rock sound that does it. Reminds me of a Cast of Cheers. Except, not Irish.

    It's spontaneous, I'd probably agree if they rehearsed the 'moves' but they're just going with the flow lol. The bands energy & antics just adds to the great music they play, it's much better than watching certain artists just standing there throughout the whole set.

    My friend and I were heading to Manchester one cold morning. We had just hopped off the train in Paddington and were making our way to the underground when I recognized someone I knew so I called his name. The only thing was I didn't know this person but that I in fact recognized him through a year long obsession. But it didn't occur to me that I didn't actually know him till it was too late, and Yannis was walking towards me after yelling his name. He was too cool and hairy to be real. The end.
