Hop Along deserved it. Give this record any time and you'll know I'm right.
I'm sure GVF will influence hundreds of new rock bands and have the same lasting legacy as Zeppelin.
It's not even that they're somewhat rip-offy (Zeppelin themselves were fairly rip-offy :lol), but like they have no identity of their own. The music, the vocals, how they fucking dress, is all super hackneyed. Zeppelin ripped off a lot of artists but made that stolen music their own. Can't say the same from what I've heard of GVF.I don't understand all the hate this band gets. Even if they sound somewhat rip-offy, at least they're attempting to emulate an amazing band. I'd rather have more of those than a lot of other generic rock trash that gets way too much mainstream attention, such as Imagine Dragons. Having said that, Jack White is on a completely other level and should win every award imaginable, of course.
Their songs all grow and man they go places. Just exploding with creativity.Kinda sounds like a mellow mix of Garbage and St Vincent, decent
Greta Van Fleet is really a great band. So they sound like Led Zeppelin. So what? That's great! Zeppelin isn't recording anymore music, so...

Jack White's last album was pretty underwhelming, but Greta Van Fleet is seriously terrible and their SNL performance was more off-putting than any I've seen in a long time.

Wait Greta won something? Fucking yikes. They're the rock version of Mini vanili
It's also not like there's no precedent for bands taking an old sound and making it their own. The Strokes took '60s and '70s garage rock and mixed it with up to date lyricism. The B-52's went bonkers with cartoonish '50s camp. Sloan transformed from an early '90s indie label alternative darling into a '60s power pop sensation with a '90s cynic bent.It's not even that they're somewhat rip-offy (Zeppelin themselves were fairly rip-offy :lol), but like they have no identity of their own.

The Grammys rock category is dominated by Foo Fighters and modern day Muse, so they fit right in I'd say.
Greta Van Fleet sound like they did weed exactly once, called the cops, and tried to record a Led Zeppelin album before they arrested themselves.
hey now, Muse is alright. They at least can be pretty experimental in their sounds last time I listened to them (like 4 years ago)
The opening paragraph of Pitchfork's album review is one of my favorite sentences.
The entire review is pretty brutal

Brothers Jake and Sam Kiszka, on guitar and bass, are both wearing hippie costumes they 3D-printed off the internet. The singer, the wretched and caterwauling third brother, Josh, is in dangly feather earrings and vinyl pants, like he was dressed by a problematic Santa Fe palm-reader with a gift certificate to Chico's. It's a costume—Greta Van Fleet is all costume. And if things that look like another thing is your thing, get ready to throw your lighters up for a band whose guiding principle seems to be reading the worst Grand Funk Railroad songs as if they were a religious text.

Agreed. Frances has such an incredible voice; it just knocks me on my ass every time.
