Yeah, I wish Smash Mouth would just go away. 'All Star' is the go-to joke for people with no personality.
I'm still absolutely baffled by his take on Carrie & Lowell. His take was: "I wish Carrie & Lowell felt less like a succesfull exercise in generating "sadness" and more like a collection of songs that the artist cared about writing."
Not only is that such a grossly pretentious way of putting it, but how on Earth can you imply an album about one's dead mother is disingenuous? Of all complaints you could make about the album, that has to be up there as the most embarrassing. To say it about a Sufjan album in general when you compare Sufjan's work to Will's is embarrassing. If anyone comes across as disingenuous out of those two, it's not Sufjan.
Then there was that diatribe he wrote about The Life of Pablo.
There are still some absolute tunes on Teens of Denial, but there are very few people in the industry I despise more right now than Will Toledo.

Loved Teens of Style and Denial, put Twin Fantasy on yesterday but there was so much going on in the background, I really didn't take it in. Looking forward to listening to it and seeing them next weekend.
I'm surprised, I thought his Laneway set last year was one of the best of the day; my wife hadn't heard anything from them and she loved it. Don't know anything about Toledo and don't really need to in order to enjoy his music. If he is a twat, it's probably because he looked like McLovin from Superbad, got picked on a lot and is now inexplicably a rock start that gets chicks. *, now I'm beginning to hate him

Don't get me wrong, he put on a decent set for sure. Just had no desire to return to his music after it.Loved Teens of Style and Denial, put Twin Fantasy on yesterday but there was so much going on in the background, I really didn't take it in.

I've been going back to both a fair bit over the past year or so, some quality songwriting on there and some great tunes. Would have fit in well in the early '90s.

Haven't given it a spin in a while, and the art is a bit cringe, but don't mind this hardcore album:

Hope the rest of his album is different to this. No hint of his soul and blues in this one at all

So Muse have dropped their latest turd
They're basically Imagine Dragons or some other naff-grandiose band these days. Cool clip though.

I read an article saying that their latest album is inspired by the TV show Black Mirror.
Says everything you need to know.

Muse are so ******* lame.
Like, if you went to a Muse show you'd just see people in Muse tees everywhere.

Dirty Computer only 2 months away, two singles on youtube.
Looks like Janelle has finally unlocked chart domination (probably helped by recent appearances across other media). Certainly threatens to be a massive jukebox album (which the two videos and album title nod towards). A blockbuster visual album.
Time will tell whether it even comes close to ArchAndroid and Electric Lady (probably not), but just rapt to have her back and (based on this) achieving big. Hopefully the Arctics and Anna Calvi also return with long belated follow ups to 2013.
Muse were a bit of alright until their fandom became vile around the time of 'Starlight'. I like to think of HAARP as their goodbye release, and forget everything else after even exists. But even their earlier releases haven't aged well.
I feel sorry for Smash Mouth. They were just a fine guilty pleasure band, with "Walking on the Sun" coming in for a lot of nostalgic love, until the Shrek meme crew annexed "All Star" forevermore. The movie "Rat Race" is the last time Smash Mouth should ever be seen, that was the full stop of their fame.

Starlight is actually a really nice song, I used to love it as a kid when it'd come on Triple J.
Their set got canned at Lolla due to the rain (I wasn't seeing them anyway) but the next night the Killers did a cover of Starlight. I was so pissed but man it was fun.

Muse are really bad now and have been really spiraling down since The Resistance.
Origin of Symmetry is an absolute monster album though, I can still listen to it in full and just be amazed at how good they were.

new born is on of the best openers of all time
Fair enough, it is quite a bit different to Gaslight. Not sure if he'll ever be able to top Handwritten, I love that album

Muse were a world class rock band, glad I got to see them in 2008. Drones wasn't too bad after a couple of duds, but nothing to get too excited about.

I saw them in 2004, 2006 and 2008 just around their peak form. Amazing shows
