Boring? Man they make great music..you just must not like instrumentals. I'm with you evan - they are great.

4/27/2008 2:18:06 PM

That's it. I don't like instrumentals. That is the only reasonable explanation.

4/27/2008 3:04:51 PM

boring on CD. really really good live.

4/27/2008 3:05:31 PM

eh, i like em.

don't see how you can compare them to the postal service.

i suppose because both use [gasp!] elements of electronica.

bad fail.

4/27/2008 3:28:26 PM

Hi, I'm jokes. I don't think we've met.

4/27/2008 3:38:10 PM

4/27/2008 11:28:26 PM

get the fuck out of this thread
lol

4/27/2008 11:37:58 PM

ok go listen to she+him and bore everyone within 10 miles of you to death, that's where your tastes lie. That shit sucks too (badly) you know.... but you guys will indie splooge all over yourselves. I never called you out for that.

No one gives a shit that you dont like the band just try not to troll a guy for liking ratatat with the zinger

Typical record store indie fodder

4/28/2008 12:28:38 AM

i really don't understand the hate for ratatat

4/28/2008 12:40:14 AM

yeah i actually really like them

i was just talking shit

4/28/2008 12:48:19 AM

"not liking instrumentals" is not the only reason to dislike Ratatat, by the way

I don't really hate them, but all of their songs sound the same

so meh

4/28/2008 12:49:28 AM

i detest "meh"

in fact I detest most nerd speak

4/28/2008 12:50:42 AM

that's great 'cause I never speak it

but that is exactly how I feel about this band

so I used it

4/28/2008 12:58:42 AM

has it become mandatory that someone makes a ratatat thread every four monthes or so?

4/28/2008 1:04:54 AM

i like that one song of theirs that's all their songs.

4/28/2008 2:26:03 AM

Listen to this instead:

You realize that Ratatat is "typical record store indie" music, right? Or that it was several years ago when it was newly released?

4/28/2008 8:43:26 AM

FIND ANOTHER SYNTH TONE, SALLY

4/28/2008 8:47:59 AM

no i dont. and if it is currently 'hip' it certainly doesn't matter to me either way When I said typical record store indie fodder, I wasn't referring to she+him, I was referring to you guys' attitude and just blatant ease of dismissing music you don't like.

Like we need someone to come in to the thread and say - 'by the way, fuck your enthusiasm for this group - they fucking suck'.

It's a bit snobby is all. I realize I'm the only one who thinks this but it kind of riles me up.

4/28/2008 8:48:45 AM

Dude, the whole point of being a music snob is that you get to be a snob about it - didn't you get the memo?

THANKS EVAN YOU'RE REALLY AWESOME

i'm taking it down if my bandwidth starts going crazy

and i don't like them because OMG INDIE BANDS LAWL

i like bands because they make awesome music, that's pretty much all that should matter

4/28/2008 11:24:15 PM

this thread wouldn't be possible without Walls1441

4/28/2008 11:32:50 PM

I like 'em. Thanks for posting Ratatat. I only had Classics.

4/29/2008 11:18:50 PM

I will say that the Ratatat rap remixes are pretty good

4/29/2008 11:34:24 PM

I like them okay. Nothing I'd write home about but enjoyable on occasion.

And to everyone that is getting riled up by haters, just remember, it's always crap on TWW until a certain few give it their seal of approval.

Time helped Van Gogh proved many self masturbatory critics wrong. Not to say that Ratatat is in anyway the musical equivalent of Van Gogh, but, I think everyone should consider bias/pre-judgements before making them.

4/30/2008 9:13:41 AM

I have decided they have a niche. so they are ok.

even though all their songs sound the same. They are like the coldplay of whatever genre you would call them, except they(ratatat) aren't gay as fuck.
