Anybody else think Matt Is emo without the punk aspect 75% of the time?

hmmmmm although he used to be Indy..........does that make him pop-indy now?

.....no wait Hawksley Workman is pop-indy.............so what the hell is Matt?


Folk-rock? Singer/song writer? Alternative Rock? Asshole with a guitar? God recorded?

..............let's just call him "good"

i guess his name says it all

I think Matt was supposed to be going for the under produced feel on this album. Maybe not under produced, but just not as giant as Avalanche. I'm under the impression that it's just real simple music, with the well thought/crafted lyrics.

I think Matt Good is probably the best artist of all time imo. He never fails to impress me, and with the two songs that i've heard from the new cd, I am convinced that I will never be disapointed with him.

Hawksley Workman is indie only because people think he's so frigging weird.

My vote is that Matt makes electric folk music.

:O he played that live???? If there's no recording of it by the end of the tour I'll cry. Lots and lots.

Open your eyes to nights and days, you close them up and float away
and somehow inbetween you've got to master lying to yourself
you back the cause, get out of school, you get a job, the job gets you
and somehow every day you end up serving somebody else
now if that ain't panic that you're feeling, then you damn well better start
you can drive it into that head of yours with the hammer in your heart.


And it's alriiiiiiiight now, take the world and make it yours again.

Matt's music really all only fits into alternative rock. No sub-group. I mean, you look at aob and then at undrdogs and they are quite different.

all pre-lotga stuff was folky as hell.
lotga was indy, definitely.
underdogs was grunge.
beautiful midnight was alt-rock, as was aob.
avalanche is harder to classify. it's mostly alt-rock, but at the same time it became more personal singer-songwriter-y whilst simultaneously developing a bigger, more epic sound.

bah. screw definitions.
