Topic: Game Theory band


In the News (Mon 28 Dec 09)

  
  Game Theory (band) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Game Theory was an American rock and roll band from 1981 to 1989.
The group's lead singer, Scott Miller (lead vocal, guitar) - not to be confused with other Scott Millers - went on to front the band The Loud Family.
Game Theory is best known for its album Two Steps From The Middle Ages.

 TrouserPress.com :: Game Theory
Game Theory is a clean, and for a time, mildly psychedelic, pop band from northern California, which means their departures from conventional meat-and-potatoes reality are more quirky than trippy.
Prior to joining Game Theory, Donnette Thayer led Sacramento's Veil (unrelated to a contemporaneous British quartet), a slightly tacky melodic rock quartet, whose competent but colorless 1984 LP of her songs was produced by Scott Miller and engineered by former GT drummer Dave Gill.
Miller regrouped Game Theory — with Quercio and ex-Thin White Rope drummer Jozef Becker (Ray shifting from percussion to guitar and keyboards) — but then abandoned it to form the Loud Family.

 Game Theory - Biography - AOL Music
Game Theory formed on the fringe of the Paisley Underground movement of the early-'80s and though they certainly had a retro-'60 sound with psychedelic leanings, the band owed its greatest debt to the proto-power pop of Big Star.
Internal tensions broke the band up before its release, leaving Miller to carry on with a new lineup consisting of Shelley LaFrenier (keyboard), Gil Ray (drums), and Suzie Ziegler (bass) -- Easter would continue as the band's producer and essentially a fifth member in the studio throughout the rest of their career.
Miller seemed to accept the destiny of the band (obscurity) when he created his most excessive, and ultimately most enjoyable, album -- 1987's Lolita Nation -- a sprawling double album packed with obscure pop-culture references, and riddled with experimental sounds and song fragments.

 Game Theory
The Game Theory have a second obstacle in addition to the weak vocalizing - while Miller proves himself a highly talented, idiosyncratic pop songwriter, the bands he assembles are no match for his songs.
Game Theory were never convincing rocking out and sound flimsy when they try, and while their quirks can sound interesting, most of their albums are misproduced to make the band sound weaker than it probably was.
Game Theory's albums never sold well, even on the modest indie-rock level, which didn't bother Miller since his day job as a computer programmer pays quite well.

I was surprised, but Game Theory is strong all the way through and thankfully avoids the stupid skits and throwaway tracks that often plague rap CDs.
With "Game Theory", The Roots return to the strengths of their biggest selling 1999 album "Things Fall Apart" and expand upon the creative innovation shown in 2002's "Phrenology." "Game Theory" may well be a serious competitor for best album from The Roots and a standout success for Hip Hop in 2006.
While it is unlikely that "Game Theory" will propel The Roots to the mass market success that has often eluded them post-"Things Fall Apart", the album is a winner for fans of their traditional sound and a creative triumph for inventive hip hop grooves.

 The Roots: Game Theory: Pitchfork Record Review   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
That album's claustrophobic murk is felt throughout Game Theory, and its musical moodiness is echoed by Black Thought, who unpeels himself ever so slightly while charging hard with anger and desperation.
Game Theory partially solves this problem with a healthy dose of guest shots from old friends Malik B (making a strong return as a non-member after being booted for drug dependence about six years ago) and Dice Raw, along with welcomed mixtape all-star and Philly native Peedi Peedi (aka Peedi Crakk) and newcomer Porn.
Of course, the album is over thought-- it is a Roots album after all, and superfluous embellishments along with high-concept artwork and sequence second-guessing are part of the excitement.

 Roots run deep | The San Diego Union-Tribune
If the dense, tense “Game Theory” is anything to go by, The Roots will stick out like the most welcome of sore thumbs when hip-hop's most potent and provocative band concludes this weekend's Southern Comfort Music Experience in the Gaslamp Quarter.
But the emotional tension this six-man band expertly builds in such dark, brooding cuts as “Here I Come” and the scathing “False Media” is balanced by the musical release these same songs provide.
“Music” is one of three songs on “Game Theory” to feature Malik B., who – with Black Thought – was one of The Roots' two rappers, until his drug problems led to his departure from the group at least five years ago.
