Unfortunately it's not the 60's anymore. There are no excuses for a record that sounds like this. We live in an age where cheap microphones and pirated recording software abound. Now I understand that what they are doing is a choice, but it's one that makes little to no sense to me. I can understand what you’re saying 100% and I agree. Unfortunately it’s not the 60’s anymore.

There are moments of truly enjoyable indie pop here, and people can't seem to actually enjoy those moments because they can't wrap their head around the recording quality. You know, if it weren't for bands like this first cropping up in the 60s, we wouldn't have had bands like the Sonics birthed screaming from the garages of Seattle. We wouldn't have had punk rock in the 70s, or "college" rock in the 80s. We wouldn't have had the Ramones, the Cramps, Pixies, The Jesus And Mary Chain, My Bloody Valentine, The Flaming Lips... I'm not saying TNV are the next My Bloody Valentine, but it feels like you're not giving them a fair chance. Shame.
