Who are the biggest liars?

I’m actually downloading them right now. They're killer.
The song titles are bizarrely long—probably some weird nod to the Yeah Yeah Yeahs or whatever... they sound pretty similar, honestly, but better. A bit less messy, but still totally wild. No regrets about staying in tonight just to rot my brain on the internet...
Anyone here ever heard them or know anything about this band?

Yeah, I heard. I know a thing or two about them.

Well, true enough...

You don't need to strip the entire thing—this fine grit turns into a total mess once it hits the moisture...

Just take my word for it. 😉

Yeah, true enough...

You don't actually need to strip the whole thing down. This dust just turns into mud if you aren't careful....

Just trust me on this one 😉

Why would I do that? It's easily the best thing on the disc.

P.S. If you're having trouble because you're downloading stuff from shady sites, maybe just buy the damn game instead 😉

P.S. — if you're just ripping stuff from the internet, maybe just go buy the CD 😉

Who said I didn't buy the physical copy? 😁

Anyway — Husker Du, "Bricklayer"

Just heard the new Liars record on my outdoor speakers and man, they are incredible. I’ve got their first album too, which is legendary for being one of the most chaotic releases out there. They really craft this unique, unheard-of, and totally original sound. If you're into alternative stuff that actually breaks the mold, go grab them.🙏

Man, I gotta say... their second album totally blows the first one out of the water. It's just on another level...😎

PrittPen said:Well, that's exactly what I said... and honestly, I don't mind saying "Levis"... that's just how I talk in American English...

Alright then.

urbannomad30 said:PrittPen, technically it is "Lie-ers" (like Levi's :-), but good luck trying to explain that to some random guy in the Midwest...

The emphasis is on is.

Come on, people! An entire day has gone by and nobody has said a single word about Liars? Seriously?

Here is a little copy/paste from www.allmusic.com:

Liars was conceived in November 2000 after two friends and ex-Los Angeles art students Aaron Hemphill and Angus Andrew reunited in New York City. They responded to a "musicians wanted" ad posted in a local record store by two Nebraskans, Pat Noecker and Ron Albertson. The lurching Aussie Andrew took on the vocal/frontman duties while Hemphill became their guitarist and drum-machine programmer. Bassist Noecker and drummer Albertson make up the Liars' rhythm section. Combined, they write music exhibiting fundamental elements of punk rock that is surprisingly formulated after the beats are laid down on the drum machine. Synthetic keypads, vocal modulation, and these interspersed pre-arranged compositions, mixed with their guitar-bass-drums equation, create angular yet melodic songs. Liars is reminiscent of U.K. groups who embraced dance music during the late '70s/early '80s — A Certain Ratio, Gang of Four, the Slits — bands who are all insidiously known for adding danceable rhythms to punk.
Only months after forming, the group played its first show. Liars' debut album, They Threw Us All in a Trench and Stuck a Monument on Top, was released on independent Gern Blandsten Records in October 2001 and was later reissued by Blast First/Mute. The album was recorded in just two days by producer/engineer Steve Revitte, who's best-known for his work with the Beastie Boys and Lee "Scratch" Perry.

Whatever...

PrittPen said:My bad to the OP, the mods, and you if this is getting on your nerves, so just feel free to scrub it.

At least it wasn't some newbie or some fifth-rate amateur cluttering up the thread.

Anyway, Liars. Finally, an intelligent, socially conscious punk record with actual teeth, feels like forever since Radiohead dropped Hail To The Thief.

My picks:

"We Fenced Other Houses With The Bones Of Our Own" is basically a lock for my most played track this month;

"There's Always Room On The Broom" is already looking like a heavy hitter for best song title of the year.

It's way too early to get deep into the end-of-year rankings, but if things play out where TWWSWD doesn't even crack my top 30, then 2004 is going to go down as one of those freakishly incredible years for music.

Yeah, but honestly, the album is almost unlistenable, which doesn't necessarily mean it's bad. I guess I just prefer the first one more.

I haven't actually listened to Bend, but I can't stand the song titles I see popping up on other people's playlists. The Locust does this kind of thing much more effectively ("How to Build a Pessimistic Lie Detector"! "anything Jesus Does i Can do Better"! "Priest with The Sexually Transmitted Diseases get out of my Bed"! "How to Become a Virgin"! "Gluing Carpet to Your Genitals Does not make you a Cantaloupe"!).

np Primus - Have a Cigar

I just finished listening to the "New York Noise '78-'82" compilation, and I felt compelled to weigh in. It turns out the Liars aren't just boring—which was already my take—but they're straight-up plagiarists. One track is just playing at being retro, while the other is basically a blatant rip-off of someone else's thesis paper. 🙄

So this new single, IT Fit When i was a Kid = Salt'n -> Pepa: You showed me what to do...

😲 🙄

Man, I remember back when I used to rack up something like two million posts on beautiful sites like this.

btw, in the meantime, I’ve actually started seriously loving Liars.🙂

You just have the t-shirt—that doesn't make you one of them...😬

Daniel Bailey7 said:You just have the shirt; you aren't a true fan... 😬

What am I supposed to do, buy a vinyl record and turn it into a hat? 😛 btw the cover for the second album is gorgeous. And the first one too.

The latest single is looking quite promising 🙂

So, is there a new album coming? Honestly, it’s been over six months now, yet absolutely nobody has even bothered to comment on it...

That’s wonderful!

😲 ?!?!?

Are we seriously talking about Drum's not dead? Like, what the hell is actually good about this drum stuff—the songs, the vibes, whatever :slaughter:—is it actually "great"?
After Hold you, I think they should just be sent straight to hell.

They were kind of charming back in the day though... especially after that attempt at speaking American and trying to wrap their heads around it... oh, silly language. 😁
