You know what, I absolutely agree with you and I’m glad someone else feels the same way. People try to defend the “it’s not quantity over quality” argument but it never holds up, they put out way too much music and the songwriting is very mediocre. I always say if fans are craving and needing new stuff every year then it’s kind of obvious they aren’t making impactful stuff. I’ve tried getting into them many times but I couldn’t name a song if I heard it if I tried, zero hooks or catchy melodys, the guitar parts sound the same most of the time and like you said they do shallow takes of different genres. I think they’re fun and I’m glad they’re successful, but they’re way too hyped up for a band that sounds like the average Bandcamp college band. They’re essentially a jam band, and that’s not my thing so maybe that’s it and they are great in that regard.. but idk, I’m more into great lasting songwriting and stuff that’s been worked on detail to detail for awhile and feels like passion went into it instead of just a throwing shit together real quick.

Yea man we’re definitely on the same page. I get that I ruffled some feathers but even the people disagreeing are hardly willing to confront any points I’m raising. They’ve become this catchall band you can’t escape from, I seen them bombarded in so many music subs.
