halisray Posted June 15, 2010 Report Share Posted June 15, 2010 I keep hearing all this talk about them from Pitchfork and last.fm - but I heard some of their tracks and I find it shitty rofl - anyone else in accordance?

jules Posted June 15, 2010 Report Share Posted June 15, 2010 I just got their latest due to all the praise I read. I'm still trying to wrap my head around it.

Guest Apeofnaples Posted June 15, 2010 Report Share Posted June 15, 2010 I really like the new one, but yeah, insane amount of hype. Quote Link to comment https://forum.watmm.com/topic/57150-emeralds/#findComment-1350368 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Enter a new display name Posted June 15, 2010 Report Share Posted June 15, 2010 Aren't their prior releases very experimental drone? "Does It Look Like I'm Here?" must be praised because of this. I quite enjoy the album, to be honest.

Guest Glass Plate Posted June 15, 2010 Report Share Posted June 15, 2010 They're just some of the most popular people in the recent American imitation of 70's kraut/new age.

Food Posted June 15, 2010 Report Share Posted June 15, 2010 there was some piss poor cheesy guitar on the stuff I heard. I think it was their latest. I am in accordance.

Guest Masonic Boom Posted June 15, 2010 Report Share Posted June 15, 2010 I had no idea they were being hyped. I don't really read Pitchfork (except for when people link to it on messageboards) and actively avoid Hype Machine - I just tend to go by what my friends are chatting about on twitter. If I was gonna pick a band that I thought were being hyped, OMG if I hear one more person tell me "aaahh, you HAVE to hear Rene Hell, it's AMAZING!!!!!" I'm gonna hurl -> that has been overhyped to me and it's pleasant enough Krauty experimentalism but it's nothing great. Heard Emeralds after being sent a random link and didn't know what to expect (the last link this person sent me was to Mordant Music, so it could be anything, really) and I was pleasantly surprised.

Guest beatfanatic Posted September 8, 2010 Report Share Posted September 8, 2010 I checked out "Does It Look Like I'm Here?" couple of days ago because Emeralds is opening for the Caribou gig that I am going to in a couple of weeks. I've just listened to it once but it didnt do much for me. Quote Link to comment https://forum.watmm.com/topic/57150-emeralds/#findComment-1411628 Share on other sites More sharing options...
jhonny Posted January 4, 2011 Report Share Posted January 4, 2011 the Mark McGuire (guitarist in Emeralds) LP is really worth checking out too if you like Emeralds.

Tauhid Posted January 4, 2011 Report Share Posted January 4, 2011 (edited) Anything between Solar Bridge and the self titled album is closer to Berlin School type stuff and way less cheesy. I like the new album, but not nearly as much as their self-titled. I think they made a mistake with changing to shorter tracks.

Guest Coalbucket PI Posted January 5, 2011 Report Share Posted January 5, 2011 I got this new Emeralds album yesterday and fell asleep to it but it woke me up again halfway through. I suppose it's not that sort of ambient. But I think I liked it. Quote Link to comment https://forum.watmm.com/topic/57150-emeralds/#findComment-1489508 Share on other sites More sharing options...
