I keep running into people (both musicians and non,) who are obsessed with ST. I listen to a very wide range of music, so its odd for me that I wouldn't like it, but the best way I can describe it is it sounds exactly how id describe AI music. Just gives me a gross feeling.

Not hating. I guess im wondering why people like it so much compared to other groups and why the hype is so big. Is it the whole secretive thing? Ghost and a thousand other groups already did that, its nothing new.

It seems like their live productions are pretty cool. But again, it really looks to be rehashed Ghost but with worse songwriting.

I think he's a talented vocalist in his style but I personally hate his voice. I am averse to the whole getting up real close on the mic and using vocal fry and grunts to convey that you have sooo much emotion.

Again, just a Lil rant, but also wanted to spur actual discussion

Have you tried the Black Country, New Road –related scene like Squid, English Teacher, Fontaines D.C. (it stands for Dublín City)? Or maybe Divorce, which is "normal" indie rock? And King Gizzard is usually a safe option

I’ll give those suggestions a try:)

I only know King Gizzard from that list and from what’ve I’ve heard -mainly I gave Infest the Rats’ Nest a fair listen- I do think they’re decent.

Edit: I’m liking Black Country, New Road so far! Scratches my sad girl DeathCab itch. Put on Ants From Up Here. The crescendo on the song Concorde is so gorgeous.
