They remind me of NIN or Tori Amos in that way
They are three very similar acts, it's true.

Haim one of the last bands I would accuse of overselling
― anonanon, Monday, 30 June 2014 22:34 (nine years ago) link
If I had wanted to say "they suck, you're dumb" I would have said it. I just don't hear anything about them that excites me in any way and I do see people losing their shit over them, and I see their stage presence very much being one that signifies "what we are doing is worth losing your shit over -- watch us losing ours right now!" Some people, many of whom are assholes, get very angry when they see stuff like that. I heard them before I saw them and didn't get the hate or the love until I had seen video.

Then I dunno what to say to you, because they appear to throw everything they have at this stuff in the live clips I have seen.

can you imagine? What nerve to see them excited about performing their songs.

It's a dumb reason to hate a band, I agree. I don't hate them.
― Three Word Username, Monday, 30 June 2014 22:47 (nine years ago) link
If I don't respond to a band's music I expect them to acknowledge that by shrugging a lot on stage and saying "sorry" after each song.

"there's no there there" is never what is actually going on btw. There is always something there, you're just not required to recognise it or enjoy it.

as HAIM's most hitherto vocal detractor, imma say: wtf is wrong with a band trying to make a live performance fun & engaging - they may be 'selling' themselves to their audience but then, to some extent, so is every fucking live band ever, and if you can 'see through' the artifice it's probably just because you don't like the music very much, chill

I meant something very different by what I first wrote here than what I am being made to stand for, but it's too "get out of the way, OLD MAN" in here for me to want to explain.

Since most of you who love them are awful garbage people, perhaps I should rethink my lack of hatred.

They seem pretty cool, like insanely cool, and 100% no-nonsense LETS ROCK THIS JOINT, yet have a good enough sense of humor about it to be fine w playing while some idiot waves around a giant print-out of bass face 50 feet in front of them. If someone showed up to just one show I was playing and was waving around a print-out of me making a weird face the entire time I would be like, dude, GTFO maybe call your parents cos obviously they never showed you enough attention.

My mind is boggling at how they could possibly make My Song 5 into more of a mess than it already is.

The goodness of the Haims nearly balances out the terribleness of Calvin Harris (tbh he's got many worse songs than this one no matter who's singing).
