I get what you're saying—there are definitely some standout moments scattered throughout these albums, but honestly? Most of it is basically unlistenable, just like you pointed out.

Let’s be clear here: my rotation is mostly alternative and rock.
I’m not some snob, though—I’m totally down to explore new sounds and whatever else is out there...

What are you even on?
Give us some actual substance here!
Rock on, America

Twins are alright, I guess.

I've laid out all the facts right above.
Please just stick to them—read them over a dozen times if you really have to.

Look, I’m not some professional musician or anything, but I’ve got an ear for what works. Lately, I've been thinking about diving into computer-based composing—whatever that actually entails.
I think I’d get a kick out of it.

Besides, you have to look at the greats; they all started out the exact same way, tinkering away until they were playing on whatever weird instruments they could get their hands on.

If anyone feels like taking a crack at that album, or whatever year we're looking at, let's see what happens.

Thanks for the input.

An Icelandic band.
They’ve been around for about 10 years now.
If I had to describe them—maybe the shortest way possible—I’d call them an electro-experimental-improv-ambient outfit or something along those lines.
Basically, nothing standard or "normal," at least by my definition.
Is it hardcore alternative? Sure. I don't know what else to call it.

Here’s some info on them:

Have you guys listened to them?
What’s your take?
Let me know...

I’m trying to listen—dipping into a bit of everything from their albums—but I have to admit, I’m not really feeling it yet. Well, it's only day two and I haven't run into much else like this. Aside from, obviously, that oddball Lady Gaga.
Strange, weird, or whatever.
I wouldn't say they aren't interesting, but somehow the "vibe" just hasn't clicked for me yet.
To be fair, there are some cool instrumentals in there.
As for the band itself? They're just okay.

Same thing with the lyrics—even with my English being pretty solid, I can't make heads or tails of them.
I mean, what was the poet even trying to say?...😕

From what I gather, the international critics love them.
But looking at it on second thought, it feels like even I could probably whip up something better and more engaging on my laptop...

It makes me wonder...
is múm actually a magical band, or just more mediocre trash?
