This kind of goes along with a question Lovenrckts asked about a lot of the modern indie rock being very whispy and mellow. I picked up the new Band of Horses today and I like it and all. It's pretty good, but they stood at the fork and decided to make a mellower record as opposed to one that rocked equally or a little more. They're really good at the more up-ity stuff and the two or three tracks on the record that rock more are clearly, for my money, the best tracks.
Don't get me wrong. I love mellow tunes, and obviously my opinion isn't really relevant, but I'm slightly disappointed.
Do you have any bands like that? Ones that you think made the wrong decision.
It should be noted that I've only heard the record once and my opinion is completely subject to change if there is some revelation. Plus, I haven't heard it in the car yet which is the really telling listen.
