Misogynist posted:stuff about metalcore I'm not going to argue with you about whether what you've said is true or not because I am sure it is in many respects in some places, and totally true in others. The fact is though, those are problems with any genre of music. And while I don't exactly appreciate the fact that some bands aren't being creative with their music and are following the metalcore explosion, I still enjoy the music and in case you haven't noticed, bands in all genres rip each other off and have trends in their music. And as far as fans go, there are many fans of metalcore who go to shows and truly enjoy the music. I used to go to shows every weekend 2-3 times a week, and it wasn't because I loved the shows more than the music. Sure there are fans that are like that, but I see an awful lot of faggoty "real" metal kids around and a lot of wanna-be "gangsters" and such. Basically your argument assumes that every fan is like that and that the hate is somehow warranted because of the fact that it is popular. Hell, I don't think that the Vanna band that was discussed earlier makes the most original music in the scene, but it is well composed and fun to listen to. sorry that probably wasn't super coherent. I really don't like the boring breakdown trend however, and if a band is going to make breakdowns from this point forward I think it should be the main point to make sure they are well composed/unique/not in every song or at least sound really really cool  the Bunt posted:new HTB song http://www.shockhound.com/features/733-exclusive--hear-horse-the-band-s--arrive--here-first Its a pretty good song, but i don't understand how it is "desperate" and such how the article describes. really cool song actually.

I agree about both them being lovely and their typical fans being poorly dressed and sometimes annoying, but personally I don't really think about it much and it doesn't affect my enjoyment of their album... I just won't go to their shows. Why not? From what I heard they put on a good show. vid: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v8CU_thTx3o

TheIneff posted:Okay well since you put it like that. You are loving stupid. It is very easy to water down their music into a quick summary of "cookie-cutter breakdown-soaked downtuned garbage sonic catastrophes". Part of the reason they are so enjoyed is because most of their breakdowns are NOT cookie-cutter, and the music is well composed in terms of break-people's-faces-rage music. Of course there are going to be those that disagree, but you thinking that does NOT take credibility away from his argument that ALL THESE loving ARGUMENTS OVER WHAT BAND IS "NOT REAL MUSIC" or is "COOKIE-CUTTER" or WHATEVER is going nowhere and please oh god please just shut the gently caress up and talk about music

A5H posted:The genre doesn't suck. But in comparison to the old metalcore thread this is filled with scene wankery. Some scene wankery is fun. Anyway, feel free to bring up some other, less wanker-filled bands because i also enjoy those. Speaking of, does anyone else like the new Dance Gavin Dance album? Its like chilled out sometimes, kinda heavy sometimes, but strangely soothing all the way through. I really hated the second album and the new singer because it sounded to me like he was just trying to bite Jonny's style, but on this album he found his voice and its a lot more natural-sounding.

Chiodos' first album is mostly golden. edit: as far as "keeping it real goes," the wont you be my bride part is the weakest part of an otherwise intense face-punching song.

Business Raptor posted:My buddy used to play bass for Life Ruiner, and he used to be very straight edge - he even has "X" Tattoos. When he decided he wanted to smoke weed because it's a great time they kicked him out of the band and called him a poser and all his poo poo, then wrote a song about him. It's pretty old and it's from back when they were still playing small sceney shows, so maybe they've changed, but I know for a fact that back then they were obnoxiously straight edge. Hahahahha thats hilarious, which song was it...?

Saosin's new album is out. Hugely disappointing for me, I like a couple tracks such as Fireflies, On My Own, and the Japanese bonus track but man there are a lot of throwaway, what-the-gently caress-were-they-trying (not in a good way :/) songs on this album. Its like they were trying to move away from post-hardcore, but just ended up sounding like lovely soft rock with some cool guitars :/

Well, my friend stole the setlist on the last song when everybody got on stage, but I wasn't familiar with the songs really so I can't remember. I do know they started off (or maybe it was second song?) with that New Roman song or whatever, and the second to last song was For The Record. It also said ebolorama on the setlist but idk if they played it.

plester1 posted:Is this serious? It sounds like that crabcore band. Yeah, I mean I know its not-hip to like that kind of sound but I think I See Stars pulls it off well and makes for a great show. I don't like Attack Attack! or Breathe Carolina or Brokencyde which is more what I see as "crabcore." If you listen to all of these songs: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PlioSo_UHBk http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fqhWSP-Vank http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tT9CT7qnP2k And still hear no redeeming values, then I understand you just don't like that sound. And I can see why, but I enjoy melodic-yet-heavy poppy stuff. Their breakdowns generally don't feel like they just threw a chug chug chug in for the sake of chug chug chugging. They kind of fit in with the song Also, they make awesome hitting-people music live x TOMMYBOY x fucked around with this message at 03:19 on Oct 23, 2009 |

Yeah, I used to love Stick To Your Guns because their first album was loving awesomely composed hard/metalcore but the new album was, besides a few highlight moments, a disappointingly sheepish direction for them to go in, despite their "gently caress YOU I BELIEVE WHAT I BELIEVE!!!" attitude. ALSO, @ the horse the band description: Thats awesome, and its all true too right?
