Some music is just made for the summer, but I couldn’t tell you if Generationals’ Con Law is that kind of music because every single minute of this positive indie rock/pop managed to annoy me to no end. I believe that there are a few factors contributing to this phenomenon: the music is bad, I’m not in the right mindset for it, and the music is bad. The reason that I can’t get behind Con Law is most likely buried somewhere in those three points.
Last.fm and its various users describe Generationals as a great summer band. First of all, this is a classification that frustrates me, but I’ve come to terms with its validity. The idea that a band with a happier, upbeat, danceable sound will be more relevant in the summer, when more people are in a happier, upbeat, dance-ready mindset, holds some truth. But shouldn’t good music be good music year round? I do appreciate the importance of mood in regards to music—no one would play The Antlers’ Hospice at a birthday party, but to say that a season is equal to a universal, constant state of mind is ridiculous. For me not to like this record just because the days at the beach (because that’s how I spend my summer) are over makes no sense.
No, what I think it comes down to is that Generationals is a bad, boring, generic band. Con Law’s slow pace and amateurish sound lacks any of the charm that you’re supposed to get out of a summertime album. Something tells me that I would have disliked this record even if I had played it back in July.

You can’t hate on this and like Matt and Kim. This is just polished Matt and Kim. Neither is good, but this is better.
It would appear that someone is just making things up again.
Loved the Matt and Kim. Thanks, Mr. Ear.
Ear-boy: Thank you for posting the Matt and Kim video. You proved my point.
