That, or I believe that they are all subconsciously copying each other’s music to produce that homogeneous “cookie-cutter” indie-rock sound that big business record companies are beginning to ride the bandwagon on more and more, everyday.īut can you blame them? It’s a sound in the music industry that is gaining more notoriety and momentum as each day passes. more than anything else in the world) there is no distinct quality that I can pinpoint from them because I honestly can never tell the difference between them. However, when critiquing a piece of work, you must put quality into perspective more than anything else and when I listen to bands like Young the Giant, Capital Cities, Bastille, Grouplove, The Lumineers, The Neighbourhood (for the most part), Imagine Dragons, and fun. After all, everyone has different tastes. It is up to each respective individual to decipher what they distinguish from good and bad. Whenever someone critiques a piece of work know that their opinion isn't more important than yours and vice-versa. Also understand that I am fully aware that in the end of the day music (and just art, in general) is subjective and is in no way really ever truly perfect (5/5) or complete *** (0/5). But I don’t necessarily mean “good" either.
Understand that when I mean generic I don’t necessarily mean “bad”. But by the end of the day, Young the Giant was, in layman’s terms, just another “generic” indie-rock band. Young the Giant released their eponymous debut album in 2010 with a few hit singles (Cough Syrup, Apartment, My Body), the sequential following of a bohemian teenage fan-base, and the love of every alternative radio station that were smart enough to know that this band was the kind of corporate musical appeal their listeners wanted to hear.
Review Summary: “Mind Over Matter” is still the commercial Young the Giant that we heard in 2010-2011 with a tad more spirit and ambition.
