Having an idea of what influences their music is one thing, but following their lives and judging the music on their personal choices is another.īut on the topic, I think emaillovesyou is totally right, most people on here only like up to TM&A, some not even that far. True music fans should be discouraging that sort of papparazzi, stars lives on the news, garbage. Regardless personal details are no reason to not listen to a band or not. Not to mention the guy signed Wolf Parade to Sub Pop, that alone should counteract rape allegations. I wouldn't put it past anyone to claim rape after a drunken mistake or even afterwards regretting having done it anyways. That was never confirmed, and Brock still claims he never did it. I really couldn't listen to them after Isaac Brock raped that chick. maybe the fact is that they moved away from the indie sound, so fans of indie didnt like it. they couldnt top it and 'changed' their sound. or disillusion's back to the times of splendor. its like dj shadow, all his **** after endtroducing was mediocre. its not that the later stuff is bad on its own, its just that it pales in comparison to the older stuff. Nirvana did it, Deftones did it, Modest Mouse did it, countless others still do it. This is why all bands that were heavily emotional changed their style down the line. If you actually do music and write your own material and whatnot, you realize that everyone eventually matures not only as a person, but as a musician. They changed their sound, and they grew up. Fire it Up, We've Got Everything, Florida, Little Motel, most of the tracks on that album are amazing by today's standards, and by the same standards set place back in the 90s. I'll admit that Good News for People Who Love Bad News sounded slightly half assed, but We Were Dead Before the Ship Even Sank was an amazing album. The feeling that we get from listening to an album in which a band has experimented with their style of music isn't a 'god this sucks' feeling, it's just indie kids being hypocritical and not listening to something because it's not what they're used to. We don't welcome it, we want our favorite bands to sound the same forever, and the reason we do this with older bands is because subconsciously, we take a lot of pride in listening to our older, more underground music. The thing about indie people is that we don't like change.

Modest Mouse is always going to be my all time favorite band, but I always see 'after *insert album name here* they weren't that good.'
