Not crap. They played at my house once, back in the day.

Are there really bands still playing this kind of music? Which ones? Because I've always felt that "generic math rock" died off at the turn of the century for the most part. If there are survivors then I need to know.

I thought I was the last one.

That's because something is very much wrong with you.

Great Band. I'm torn between Frames Per Second and Only Love Can Break Your Heart...

Not crap with very slight Waffling over the name...

^Now thats a live show not to miss!

I always get them confused with karate...then I remember it dosen't matter because I don't like either one. CRAP.
Nothing there for me.

I'm kinda with Marsup and Bad Comrade on this one...

Boring as shit, I'm sorry. Nice guys and all, sure but I can't see putting them on for any reason other than to help me sleep.

I mean...I love Bastro, Codeine, Bitch Magnet, etc...but this band really is generic math rock.

Even living in Austin I didn't like these guys (then again, I was in a minority that absolutely loathed Trail of Dead, so grains of salt all around)

I don't get it either, and on paper it should be something I not only get but really, really dig. I am not down with this music.

I think A Minor Forest obliterates them from my memory. A Minor Forest did this "thing" much more effectively.

But I understand they are outstanding people, so there's that.

When I think of Paul Newman I primarily think of Frames Per Second, because it was so awesome when I first heard it. And it was the pace of that record, probably the very same reason most people find them "boring", that made it stand out against other records that I had heard. The pace made the music tense, it kind of made me itch, waiting for things to happen. It was very contrary to what everyone was expecting out of a band, at least to my friends and I, but we were pretty young then.

Their later records, I'll admit, got boring. But I don't listen to those anymore, so I've forgotten they exist.

So NC, and I've forgotten the waffles.
