I was deeply disappointed by it. it felt totally flat throughout the whole record, nothing that makes songs stand out from one another. Am I missing the point or is it just bland and overrated?
that was it

I'm listening to it rn. Idk what you're talking about buddy
>>65435135
You'll appreciate it someday
op here, I felt the same way about coldplay's a rush of blood to the head. It just seemed like a cheap radiohead copy
Hey I felt the same way I listened to Rubber Soul the first time. You just gotta try your luck and listen again.

ya OP I thought it was a bit nondescript but it's just like, imagine you are seeing these dudes live and all they have is instruments and amps and a shitty mic, and that it isn't Radiohead with like an Ondes Martenot and Pendereckian strings. Then you're like, oh, these are wonderful fun tunes.
While I do like this album, I agree with your statement about most of the songs sounding similar. However, surely you think that Someday stands out (the best track, I think).

yeah, someday and last nite. The weird thing is that if I randomly listen to a song I like it, but as a whole the album was a bit boring
Room On Fire aged better.
Although, ya' had to be there.

it's a mediocre take on television's sound
interpol is a lot better if you want overhyped post-punk revival

I think a good chunk of it OP is that it's really not a big deal by today's standards. For starters, the album was a pretty big deal back in say 2001 because it basically modernized the garage rock sound. It was fun, accessible, poppy, all that good stuff. There really isn't anything to "get" about it.
But I can say without a doubt that better albums have come out since then that I had heard long before "Is This It." I had also been surrounded by music trying to imitate the sound on it my whole life growing up. Compared to those, it's really not all that musically impressive.
So, not that I'm saying being older excuses it from modern criticism, because even by 2001 standards it really didn't do much more than mainstreamify that garage sound, but you know.

People who listened to that album in its heyday are dad age now
what the fuck these are literally some of the best pop songs ever written
The early 00s was just a time where rock music needed some sort of revival. The late 90s was filled with a bunch of flat teenager geared faggot music the likes of nu-metal, and alternative rock in the mainstream had fallen to bullshit.
The musix press needed something "new" to push and it was bands like The Strokes, The White Stripes, Interpol and a few more bands. These bands were stripped down, and harkened back to music of the past decades which was out by the 90s because everything became about these additudinal whiney bands that as I said were more geared towards teens and seemed to be made for teen movies.
Woodstock 99 was the wall for that era of rock music.

still doesn't match the definition or genre it refers to.
get fucked, go to bed.
>>65437142
'Dadrock' does not refer to a specific genre
>>65436803
dad rock is stuff released between 60s to early70s.
