xp no it wasn't. good lord. i like palm (i think i started this thread) but i enjoyed imago's post. good points, thoughtful examination trying to work out why they don't like palm or horse lords. it's interesting. imago is not turrican. come on everyone

tbh i am also weary of polyrhythmic rock bands on record, and i much prefer palm & horse lords live (though i think they've made great records - i just don't find myself reaching for them very often. unlike Don Cab)

but maybe if i was around... wherever tf don cab were from and was able to see them dozens of times i'd feel differently
some of you are being way too reasonable to me haha, I should have toned my post way down while still examining my misgivings

I can certainly imagine this lot being quite the force as a live band

what's to tone down? god forbid someone disagrees or tries to figure out why they hate a band you like... honestly perplexed at reaction to your post.

New album is growing on me. Not as immediate as Rock Island, the hooks are slightly hidden in the more maximalist production. I’m OK with that.

Grateful for this thread revive. It's like ILM clash of the titans.
Also I will check out this band and report back with my beloved hot takes.

Ok so I listened to the new one and imago's "monumentally unpleasant take" on the previous album is still pretty much otm.
