I just realized after reading a thread in the General forum that there's no Crap / Not Crap on Mogwai yet.
Most assuredly NOT CRAP in my opinion.

A tad formulaic in some of their live shows (quiet....LOUD!!....quiet....LOUD!!...) but luvly albums indeed.

NOT CRAP
They are slowly but surely turning into CRAP if they start changing things up just a little bit.

Yeah, I've had many folks gush about how great Mogwai is.
I don't get it. It's somewhat texturally engaging, but once the statement is made it doesn't go anywhere except: loud-soft-loud-soft-loud-soft......snooze.
The dynamics are so gradual and predictable that they're hardly dynamic.
The music hardly develops as such. To me it sounds like a bunch of really stoned guys obsessing or zoning out to the minutia of timbral change that occurrs when things get louder, softer, or are played slightly different by a bunch of stoned guys.
Memo to all young musicians: You can't play an instrument for shit or learn your chops when you're baked out of your gourd. Satchmo and Buddy Rich were exceptions to that rule.
Mogwai = really good background music for when your Eno is in the shop.
Mogwai = really boring as fuck when you actually try to sit and actively listen.

Most of the their newer stuff bores me to tears, but I'll give them a not crap solely based on the first half of Come On Die Young. I love the Iggy Pop dialogue and particularly the sampling of a football game: "AND HE IS TAKEN DOWN!" It works so well with their music. And Cody is real nice song that makes you feel like you just shot a bunch of horse into your eyeball.
