OK, I'm listening. It's pretty... Pretty darn terrible... But, for each their own, I guess...

Too Controversial To Have An Athleisure Line
What, exactly, do you like about it?
The Casio keyboard drum track?
The incredibly boring guitar riff that goes on and on and on and on and on?
The atonal, caterwauling vocals?
The out of tune guitar noodling?
The "beep bop boop" computer noises?
Seriously, how the fuck does anyone actually enjoy listening to that?

I like the whole damn thing. I dig the arrangement. Dig the guitar. Love the vocals. Like the lyrics. The mood is great. I just think its really pretty.

I saw that they're re-releasing two of their albums with some unheard songs on them. I will get those.

This may be the first time I've totally agreed with you. I love me some Yayhoos.

Not everything can be Night Ranger.
I liked that song a lot.

It's a bit precious for my tastes.

You don't deserve koa.
Yeah, it was half "female Ben Folds with fuzzy wall-of-sound guitars and a drum machine" and half "Cyndi Lauper without the vocal confidence, style, charisma, etc." A little bit of syncopation/funk would really have gone a long way on that one.
It's kind of curious how Sad Nav can dismiss stuff like the Decemberists and Grizzly Bear as "twee" and "precious", yet eat this up. I don't get it, yet.
Get that girl a bucket so she can carry the tune in it.
My ears are bleeding.

You also have to factor in fussiness. Grizzly Bear's stuff sound labored over and/or like the work of music majors. The Decemberists' stuff just doesn't click for me. I think the theatricality puts me off.

It's become a favorite word of pop music critics over the past couple of years.

Mediocringly Derivative
meaning what?
overly sugary, sorta thing?
frilly, pointless fluff?
can't say I've ever heard it.
then again, I don't recall the last time I read anything a pop music critic wrote
still relevant:
"Rock journalism is people who can't write, interviewing people who can't talk, for people who can't read." - FZ

Frank Zappa is music for people with repressed scat fetishes.
