[edit] Mr. Beast
I am as excited as any Mogwai fan about the upcoming album, but I don't think Mr. Beast needs a lengthy discussion on the Mogwai band page. Hence, I moved the album information to it's own article. It should be easily accessible to anyone wanting to read more about it. Imaginaryoctopus 23:00, 15 December 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Mr. Beast
That Mr. Beast "apparently returns to the heavier sounds of 1997's Mogwai Young Team" is debatable. Conventional wisdom at this point says that it's more in line with their recent CDs.

In My opinion, saying that a band returned to any sound is debateable, because what they did during the period that they strayed from their old sound changed them. I could agree with the removal of that statement. CraigP 08:18, 8 August 2006 (UTC)
[edit] umm...
"and most other contemporary post-rock."
isn't that possibly a little too sweeping for an ENORMOUS genre?
- I agree; however, a lot of new post-rock bands have been influenced by Mogwai's sound to some degree, so I think it deserves mention. I reworded it slightly. Imaginaryoctopus(talk) 15:16, 23 March 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Okay
Who was the smartass you linked the Mogwai lyrics? Im not saying it wrong to, but why?
thats some funny $#1t it did make me notice that there's nothing in the article mentioning that they are an instrumental band (using the word instrumental seems a little harsh)
- Well, it's really not that strange to put up a link to Mogwai lyrics. Sure, they're largely an instrumental band, but I believe there have been vocals of some sort on the majority of their albums. The songs "Yes! I Am a Long Way From Home," "Cody," and "Travel Is Dangerous" come to mind. They don't choose to use vocals often, so when they do a listener is probably interested in what they are saying. Also, the article does mention that Mogwai is an instrumental group in the second sentence. Imaginaryoctopus(talk) 15:10, 23 March 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Controversy with Brit pop bands
I know they created some animosity with Blur [1] and I heard they also made fun of Oasis on their site, does anyone else know what happen or wether it should be in the article? CraigP 21:40, 23 August 2006 (UTC)
