See, I dunno, if I was asking for suggestions I'd want to hear some variety of opinions on the subject...... there's no reason to get bent out of shape here over a legitimate post........

Well, I don't think that's what I was getting at in - most of these bands get an automatic MBV comparison, but 90% of the time it's not accurate, and they're just pop songs with fuzzy guitars and that's the end of the similarities. If that's what shoegaze is, I really don't like it...... You guys remember this band, I think they were called The Daywalkers or some shit like that? Billed as "THE NEXT MBV OMG FOR REAL" every time I read anything about them and really if you clicked off the big muff you'd have another britpop clone..... Same with Asobi Sexu or however you spell it...... billed as "MBV WITH HOT JAPANESE SINGER NO JOKE"...... but in the end same thing....... I don' know why it irks me so much that there are so many bands that churn out lazy pop music and expect to find critical acclaim based on a comparison in sound, but well...... I mean she is pretty hot amirite?

Fair enough, it just wasn't for me but that doesn't mean it's lazy. I feel like half the time the description misleads enough that the actual product is kind of a letdown, but that's with any genre. You ever read the description on a Relapse Records title? Unreal. "FOR FANS OF WHITEHOUSE, BORIS, NAPALM DEATH FRANCOIS HARDY AND TANGERINE DREAM" and meanwhile it's the new Dying Fetus album......
