"feel like so much of their post planet of ice material is... flashes of greatness in a pan mixed with so much unnecessary filler" So true, and this is what did them in. Capable of brilliance but so inconsistent.

When Planet of Ice came out I really hoped that the song Lotus was foreshadowing the direction they were heading in on future albums. But sadly, they just doubled down on everything they'd already done and played it safe.

Omni came out and had some more experimentation on it, but there were quite a few people who shit all over the album, and it seems like after that, everything they released was firmly in their comfort zone. Infinity Overhead and Voids are pretty good albums, but at least to me, it feels like some of the fire went out after 2010.

I still like buying physical copies of a select few bands' albums, but nothing irritates me more than paying $20 for a hunk of cheap cardboard without even anything to secure the disc inside. Its just irritating that VOIDS (and Infinity Overhead) both came in substandard packaging.

it's weird how this band shows some great stuff in one song and then shows some terrible shit in the same song - What About the Boat? has a pleasant verse-chorus dynamic and then the "oh yeahhhhhhh!!!" part is just needlessly shitty and out of place. feel like so much of their post planet of ice material is like this - flashes of greatness in a pan mixed with so much unnecessary filler

They played the whole menos el oso in birmingham. Wish I was more into that album but highly refined pirates will never get old

And you're clearly a fucking idiot if you think menos del oso was their last best record.

Been listening to these dudes since the beginning and OMNI is probably the album I listen to the most. Weird I know.

Menos El Oso and Planet of Ice are such masterfully crafted albums, they could be fuckin' Steely Dan albums. Shame they could never replicate that perfection.

Do you guys think we can expect a new full-length from MTB in 2015? Would be cool. Also shit. I've been listening to these guys since 2005 (not saying that as if it would be bragging thing), and they still haven't played in Sweden once!

Wish these guys would tour in London at some point. I desperately wanna hear them!
