Hi Everyone!
So my first time ever to see BA was last weekend at CBGB. I was really excited to go to the show because I've heard they were ok and I have one friend in particular who really likes them (He even has the band as his screensaver!). I'm just going to come out and say that I (and everyone I brought) thought they were BORING. I mean c'mon - verse, chorus, verse, chorus, verse, chorus! Show SOME originality! I noticed ALOT of people left when they played and I even heard the guy at the door talking about it. I left about 5 songs in and my friend who stayed (to see the last band) said that towards the end they tried to actually mix things up and failed. I was just interested if all their shows are like this or if this was just an off night? I read on here that they said it was their best NY show. Maybe they couldn't hear themselves or something. Just trying to keep an open mind.
It sounds like your idea of originality is distorted. Also, I really doubt you could accurately speak for an entire audience (especially since I've heard about people who had an awesome time at the show and really enjoyed Bishop Allen's set). But hey, I know lots of stupid people, so at least you're not alone.
