As someone who listens to a lot of emo music but never knows what any bands look like, this is causing me an astonishing amount of distress.

I finally got a chance to give it a listen and I really enjoyed it overall. The jazzy song structure of the first few tracks (chorus-instrumental improv-chorus) was a little off-putting to me, but after about halfway through I was really everything they were doing. I don’t know why but every time I hear an upright bass organically mixed into a rock track it gives me a nice fuzzy feeling. I haven’t heard anything of theirs since Contra released and they’ve definitely come a looong way in terms of mixing and composition.

Thanks for the heads up, I’ll have to check out how they’ve matured over the years. I enjoyed them back when they were relevant, but as you say they were way too upbeat and simplistic to stand up over time. Definitely some fun guitar riffs to play though.

Idk man, you do have to know subgenres on some level even if it’s just vibes based. I have to know enough to communicate that I like Trance and Progressive but fucking hate Drums and Bass(liquid is okay though I guess) at least.

It sticks out so much too because the entire arc is like three times longer than any other storyline in the series. Then like 80% of it is just waiting patiently for Bug-Cell to be born so they can beat him up. Then the series just ends a few episodes after.
