MBM cannot be compared with any other band only if you forget a few Bay Area bands like Disposable Heroes and Consolidated. Same beats, same themes, same everything. Whether they're the best of the bunch is worthy of a good debate, but don't say no one sounds like them! -Phil [----------] [---] [-----] [-----] [-----] [----------] [---] [---] [---] [---] [---] [---] [---] [---] [---] [---] [---] [---] [---] [---] [---] [---] [----------] [----------] [---] [---] [----------] [----------] [---] [---] [---] [---] [---] [---] [---] [---] [---] [---] [---] [--------] [-----] [-----] [---] [-----] [----------] Home is where the stereo is!

When STORM THE STUDIO came out, Disposable Heroes were still the Beatnigs, and Consolidated's members were still making college rock music. MBM did it first and better (and managed to avoid didacticism as well, something I can't say for the other two groups). Matthew L.

Uh, since Dangers produced both of those bands' records, isn't this a little like saying "Nobody sounds like the Aphex Twin, except Polygon Window and AFX"? C. -- cspot@hyperreal.com (Chris.Hilker)
