MODEDIT

This is now a merged official thread. This will be the only Against Me! thread allowed. This is being made because of their recent surge in popularity and their newest album release. In this thread you can discuss Against Me!, past, present and future. You can discuss their politics, their music, their lyrics, and everything else. You can post negatively about them, but keep posts like "against me! sux" out, posts like "against me are overrated" or "against me sold out" should be kept to a min. or even kept out, if you post something like this, explain your opinion.

Reinventing Axl Rose was a much better album.

And a Brief but Triumphant Intermssion is better than any song on As the eternal cowboy.

[TheNowhereman42]

best.band.ever.

along with C'ock Sparrer and The Specials...and Crass if you don't include their music

[blacklungfever]

Against Me! are fantastic

[roofee0]

I like 'em.

[Der Übermensch]

one of the best bands that is still around...

except that this thread has been done soooo many times :p

[white_riot]

i haven't really ever got in to them but I like some of their songs. Cliche Guevara is an awesome song.

[Nihilism'99]

Against Me! is good. Those Anarcho Punx and Mysterious, and Baby I'm and Anarchist are good songs.

[Forest_Fire]

I haven't gotten an album yet, but I think I will soon

[Anxious]

alot of thier songs are to poppy for me... but i love thier aucustic songs.

[IFlogMyMolly16]

Dey iz good!

[Nihilism'99]

It did it again. I think your double posting then I look at the name.

[Forest_Fire]

It's gonna be weird when they have a page long conversation that's just them

[IFlogMyMolly16]

From the recommendations thread:
They aren't like Against Me!

[skankindude21]

I tend to listen to "As The Eternal Cowboy" more than "Reinventing Axl Rose". Rar is usually too hardcore for me but I like a couple of songs from there alot too. Honestly it just depends on my mood.

[Anarcho Poser]

They aren't like Against Me!
At all.

Ghost Mice and This Bike is a Pipebomb.

[k1ckthecat]

but i like it.....
what is it, it kinda looks like a tit

[obese_breasts]

BINGO! It's IFlogMyMolly's tit

Yeh, against Me! are good. Baby I'm an anarchist is my favourtie love song.

Haha.

[sink sink]

Awesome band, the recommendations are the most accurate. I prefer their earlier sound though, but they're still good. Anyone heard the stolen demo? Good stuff as well.

[RiotUpstart]

my favorite song of theirs is Y'all dont wanna step to Dis. its on their Crime as forgiven by Against Me! Ep. they are really awesome

[IFlogMyMolly16]

Haha.
Why are you laffing at me?

[SantaDuJuan]

Why are you laffing at me?

Because you made one really big.


Duh, silly beans.

[IFlogMyMolly16]

Because they are really great!!


Listen to them, k?

[sketchyjoe]

WIFS kick arse.

[SantaDuJuan]

Because they are really great!!


Listen to them, k?


Okay okay.

[RetiredAt21]

Against Me! is a great blend of folk and punk. I love them.

[swiper888454]

I agree with both RiotUpstart and RetiredAt21.....

[asdf]

I listened to the Against me! song that's going to be on the new album, and didn't really like it.

However, I really do like them.

And I love W/IFS.

And to you W/IFS fans, could someone explain the album "a lexicon of friends and enemies" to me? Is it not released yet?

[Toe Rag]

best.band.ever.

along with C'ock Sparrer and The Specials...and Crass if you don't include their music
Huh?

[Brain Toad]

I agree with both RiotUpstart and RetiredAt21.....

Don't bump old threads, especially to post something vague and stupid like that.

[z is me]

i just saw the video for "dont lose touch"

wow........ a tear came to my eye. my special little band that no barely anyone else knew is gonna explode :upset:

oh well.

to give this a point, give me your opinions of the video.

i decided not to put this in the against me discussion thread we have going because i felt this deserved attention.

good night mx :wave:

[sketchyjoe]

omgz selloutz

[TakeWarning]

omg omg omg can someone YSI it if they get it?

[Mannik]

Where did you see it?

[Alkaline Prime]

One of my favs off the new album. I look forward to seeing it.
I can't help but feel a bit selfish though for wanting the band to stay smallish.
Power to them though, I'd do the same if my band had the opportunity.

[rawdog]

'Our arena just basements and bookstores across an underground America' My arse, your arenas are now lounge rooms across the world. This is just so gay. I know bands change but this is against everything they ever stood for. I bet the beomce huge now and their shows will be full of people that don't understand their message at all and the whole atmosphere of unity and the intimacy will be ruined.

[Alkaline Prime]

Kind of funny that from Tom's perspective it would appear everyone has turned "Against me!"

[nitzguy]

Thats a pretty crappy video.

Whats Fuse?

[SlappedByTheClash]

It's a slightly more tolerable version of MTV, due to the fact that it plays some lesser known artists.


And they have zero dumb reality shows.

[Rockafella]

Uggh what a homosexual video. Great song though.

[Unseen2k0]

Oh.

This is great.

They will remain small, because MTV will never play that and kids will never buy into that.

All black was a poor choice.

[nobody's hero999]

I downloaded the song pints of guinness and loved it. Can anyone tell me what there best album is? Oh, and if there is an official discussion thread i couldnt find it, so sorry.

[nobody's hero999]

Can you see it on Launch?

Shut the **** up. Oh, and change your icon if you hate them so much. More people like them, boo hoo for you. Also, they can't change whether or not their fans understand the message, that's up to the fans. Go die, leave them alone, they're about as real as they come.

[heyguys]

hey that song is amazing

wow i have never seen those guys before i saw that video and now i wish i didnt see that video

i thought they would have looked so much cooler

Why should it matter what they look like? They play great music. Thats all thats important. Also, where can i see the video?

[nobody's hero999]

Thanks, thats the one i was probably gonna get i just wanted to know if there was a better one. Guess not.

[heyguys]

naw it doesnt matter i was just supprised

youre right they do play great music

and on that guys my space

[aglobalthreat]

Crime as forgiven by... Against Me! is better than reinventing axl rose, but its a lot shorter

[Fisticuff111]

That's a tough one. Crime is the best music they ever created, but Reinventing Axl Rose is their best full length. So, if you want a full length, get RAR, it's amazing and the CD changed my life man!

[Fisticuff111]

The video is alright, about what I'd expect from them I guess. I wish they picked a better song off they're new album for a single though. The dog is cool as hell. I doubt they'll blow up because of this video, but it is gonna happen eventually :upset:

P.S. They used to look a lot cooler before Andrew trimmed his beard.

[Pete]

I still think "We Did It All For Don" is their best song, and I don't know which release it's on. =/

[Sid]

The Crime EP, nothing beats a homemade drum set of buckets.

[thepo]

I still think "We Did It All For Don" is their best song, and I don't know which release it's on. =/

The Acoustic EP.

[Sid]

Don't lose touch is a horrible song. And maybe some of his old fans turned on him. We didn't need an album with at least five songs where he addresses said issue like its the worst thing in the world. Or we get songs such as Pretty Girls and Problems (possibly their worst lyrical effort, seriously, look at the lyrics, you'll think your little brother wrote them.)

Wow, a few people don't like you, thats how it is being famous. Is Tom going to release a crappy album everytime someone talks s'hit about him?

Against Me! still remains one of my favorite bands.

[pedro durruti]

I still think "We Did It All For Don" is their best song, and I don't know which release it's on. =/

I completley agree. But I guess Tom was just writing what he felt at the time. Songs like "Mediocrity Gets You Pears", "From Her Lips to Gods Ears" and "Even At Our Worse Were Still Better Than Most" really make up for it, to me anyway. The only thing I'm still mad about is how the back-up vocals sound, and how they ruined "Violence" by slowing it down.

I kind of like Problems still, even after they ruined it by slowing it down and overproducing. And you're right, "Pretty Girls" is the worst song Tom has ever written lyrically, but the music is fairly energetic so I can tolerate it.

What do you think Problems is about anyways? "Sometimes it's like conversations are a waking dream from a third party perspective. An audience to theself, you can almost see the sound traveling. It's caused a feeling of anticipation when all of a sudden you know what's going to happen. These are the paranoias, they rebuild your world, they neither eat nor sleep, they have no name."

Or maybe he can just stick by his personal opinion. No one has even called them sell-outs in this thread, learn to read. Well except maybe one moron who wasn't joking about it.

Some of us think the album sucked, some of us don't. It has nothing to do with selling out, it has to do with making a bad album.

Personally, I think the 'stolen demo' was much better. That would have been cool had they just added a few more songs to that. It would be probably just as quality as say, As the Eternal Cowboy, but still be exploring some new sound.

[CombatRock]

Is it on TV?
Yea it was all things rock on MTV.

I actually like the lyrics to Problems. They're kinda retarded, but I don't know, they're easy to sing along too...

[RudeBoyStompin]

Please tell me that wasn't one of their better songs. I've heard so many good things about this band from this board and that song was very disappointing.

[SlappedByTheClash]

Please tell me that wasn't one of their better songs. I've heard so many good things about this band from this board and that song was very disappointing.

Problems or Don't Lose Touch? They're decent efforts by them, but not the best.

Thats why I recommended it! Because I'm inclined to agree with you.

Don't Lose Touch, the one in the video.

[LCBdroog]

youd be correct on a count of its the only good AM! song ever. im sorry i tried not to say anything but why must half this forum be filled with AM!.

[Fisticuff111]

Please tell me that wasn't one of their better songs. I've heard so many good things about this band from this board and that song was very disappointing.

I'm sure you've heard great things about them, but I'm also pretty sure the albums 'Reinventing Axl Rose' or 'Crime', or possibly even 'As The Eternal Cowboy' were mentioned as well. If you give Against Me! a listen, do it with one of those albums. If you're first impression of them is the new album, you'll be very dissapointed.

[SlappedByTheClash]

youd be correct on a count of its the only good AM! song ever. im sorry i tried not to say anything but why must half this forum be filled with AM!.

Cause AM! kick a'ss, and there is to be no arguing contrary to this opinion.

[maimedpunkguy]

what are you talking about? almost EVERYONE knows about against me!...

[Brain Toad]

youd be correct on a count of its the only good AM! song ever. im sorry i tried not to say anything but why must half this forum be filled with AM!.

Because it is a band nearly everyone enjoys. Why is it bad that band can have a lot of people liking them in one forum?

[z is me]

what are you talking about? almost EVERYONE knows about against me!...

in this forum? sure

in the world? no one gives a **** about against me

[cheeser_1]

in the world? no one gives a **** about against me
you've got to be kidding. they are very popular, as far as bands go. they're on a large independent label, they sell tons of records, and get nationwide (and international) recognition, as well as tours all over the place.

[rawdog]

Shut the **** up. Oh, and change your icon if you hate them so much. More people like them, boo hoo for you. Also, they can't change whether or not their fans understand the message, that's up to the fans. Go die, leave them alone, they're about as real as they come.
Dude, I never said i hate them. But now I do go back on what I said. I actually don't mind the video that much. I was just suprised that they made one cos ive never really seen them as a band that would, with their politics and songs about humility. I'm over it. But it still sucks that their shows won't be as intimate as before, and yeah thats not their fault, and i dont think I said that. But I still will support Against Me! in whatever they do because they changed my life, for the better.

[rawdog]

in this forum? sure

in the world? no one gives a **** about against me

Oh, but Sid, you started the bandwagon. I'm trying to get you company! And you're trying to lecture me for addressing something that came up in this thread? You're a moron, I knew that before reading this post, but good god Sid. "No one called them sell outs, besides that one guy, so we're just whining about how Tom is a better writer than us, but not as good as he used to be!". Right. You rock. Go you. Woo-woo. Because that, in everyway, makes perfect, logical sense. I addressed something said, and you say it wasn't. But you still say it was.

Logic. Yeah. You used it there.

Wow, a few people don't like you, thats how it is being famous. Is Tom going to release a crappy album everytime someone talks s'hit about him?

Yeah, Tom, you loser! Way to write about things effecting you! You should be writing about things you've never experienced and revolution! Geez...

Don't lose touch is a horrible song.

Yeah! It sucks! The music video sucks! Against Me! now sucks! They sold out! Losers!

(possibly their worst lyrical effort, seriously, look at the lyrics, you'll think your little brother wrote them.)

Yeah! They suck!

You know Sid, I'd like to see you start a band that is better than Against Me!, then you can complain about lacking lyrics and guitar parts all you want. I'll even agree.

Til then, shut up.

[TheNowhereman42]

I'm seeing AM! twice in October. Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay

[Sid]

Hilarious reply to everything I said

Oh so I have to start a band better than against me! to not like their new music? I don't like Bush (or any politician for that matter) either, do I have to become a better president than him to not to like him? More Brilliant logic from captain f'ucktard, great work. Yeah I'm the idiot, hahahaha. Everyone give this man a hand.

I don't like Against Me's new album. It's my personal opinion, not a f'ucking bandwagon. I don't care if anyone agrees with me. No one else's opinion on the matter affects my experience.

Again, I haven't said they sold out, I'm not sure why you keep bringing that up. They changed their ideas. That's it. Do want me to say they sold out that bad? Just drop it.

And yes, it's pathetic he wrote all these songs about what a bunch of kids on the internet think of him. Again, opinion. Deal with it.

[AIRIC]

They did some interview i was reading today where Tom said he didn't care about what kids said.

[Sid]

Then why has he been writing songs addressing his fans and basically blaming them for what the f'uck ever since As the Eternal Cowboy?

:lol:

[AIRIC]

i dont really know, he just said he didn't give a f'uck.

[Sid]

So he writes all these songs about something he doesn't care about.

... s'hit they're more punk than I gave them credit for.

No retards, that's what i said. Both of you need to learn to read. And I said one guy was serious about them selling out in this thread, I obviously wasn't counting Joe and his "Omg Selloutz" because he's obviously not serious.

Nice try, you know, making me look the internet fool. You failed and didn't address anything I said. Oh, lolol you called me stupid.

Pwned. Burn.

[Anarcho Poser]

I just hope the atmosphere at shows doesn't change. I don't care who listens to them, but if their concerts end up like greenday or fallout boy concerts, I just don't want to be a part of it, because it will suck and not be fun at all.

[Sid]

Okay, you know other fans are going to get into them. You're aware of the scenesters that are on myspace, yes? And who was it that posted that the video is going on MTV (or already has)? Maybe that was another thread/forum.

And the information could be wrong.

I don't even know if I want to see them. Singing along to lyrics that happen to be against me and the rest of the fans? I think not. Why in gods name would I sing Don't Lose Touch, if there's 'something wrong with the audience.'

Sounds like real fun.

[cheeser_1]

wah wah wah, sid. all you do is bitch about people bitching online. that makes sense.

you've got to be kidding. they are very popular, as far as bands go. they're on a large independent label, they sell tons of records, and get nationwide (and international) recognition, as well as tours all over the place.
yeah man a lot of people know against me, they're one of the bands people get into first, after anti-flag and the likes.

[albert_bass]

I got into them through the 100 top albums list. That was about six months ago and I've been listening to punk for 5-6 years so...no.

They've been well known lately because I don't know why.

[lynch_me]

wah wah wah, sid. all you do is bitch about people bitching online. that makes sense.
I don't want to set up more arguments then their already are.. but you've complained too. Alot of people have. This is all really stupid anyways.

[Sid]

wah wah wah, sid. all you do is bitch about people bitching online. that makes sense.

Hahahaha, oh cheeser. You'll never understand how much fun you bring the forum (or maybe just me). You're such a joke, I haven't b'itched about you at all! I enjoy you making the internet fool out of yourself!

I could never b'itch about having this much fun. Haha, nice try though!

Or were you referring to the post above your comment? His b'itching about the fans doesn't affect me none. I just wouldn't enjoy it anymore than I would sing along to a song with racist lyrics. It's just not my thing.

But i'm not going to cry my eyes out over the matter (whether it be someone that hates his fans or a person that hates black people).

Burn = One of my favourite AM! songs ever
This is true as well as Impact.

[Sid]

Impact is a kick a'ss song.

because usually, that's all you actually ever do to others. being buddy buddy with the mods doesn't mean you aren't just as much of a prick as anybody else, and at least they aren't being pricks and then blaming it on everybody else's being a prick.

[Forest_Fire]

"Crime" is just plain awesome. Better than As the eternal cowboy.


edit: I just listened to it, and I like don't lose touch for the first 40 seconds.

[capitalidea]

Speaking of AM!

I'll be seeing them on the 18th, first stop of the Fat Tour.

How much stuff off the new album do you think will be played?

I know i'll probably love the new album, but i'm just familiarized with all the old stuff, and i'd rather hear things off of crime and whatnot in exchange for new songs.

Can anyone compose a makeshift set list, or what you think it will be like?

Thanks

[Fyl]

i joined this thread kind of late but i just want to say ive been into against me since 2001-2002 when i was in 6th grade back then they didnt have internet sites about them no plyrics not even albums to purchase online unless you knew no idea records but ive just watched them for years now get bigger and have a much larger fan base every year. i loved them becuase they had great energy incredible lyrics heart and just great music. for me this was the band . when as the eternal cowboy came out they lost some of that it was still there but you can see they were already heading towards a professional look and sound on the album rather then the usual static for 10 seconds at the beggining of songs. i will always love this band but now there new stuff has changed. tom trys to have poetic lyrics like the older albums but it just isnt there i think now on the newest album it was more what the label and the producer wanted rather then against me's thought they didnt do it there way with a whole bunch of friends singing backing vocals and just having a good time. i also hope there shows now will still have the energy and crowd singing to there songs. i dont think they will change live, maybe dont go see them until there done supporting there new release because expect a lot of new songs which sound like pop rock dance tunes. i saw against me a year ago at starland already a big place for them to play even a year ago and half the crowd was there for the boucing souls they never even heard of against me! they have gotten a lot bigger since them people who dont like there new stuff and got into them with reinnventing axl rose or crime just let them do it they deserve to make a good living out of what they done there older albums make up for the big change and loss of energy and heart in there music

No. Someone starts calling me an idiot or some other obviously witty remark and then maybe I start in. You can't expect good conversation when someone doesn't argue your opinion but instead insults you for it.

But thats your whole thing isn't it cheeser? Hollow remarks and then insulting people's intelligence for having a different opinion than your own. This whole thread, all you've attempted to do is take shots at me. You are sadly shallow, and I really do feel sorry for you.

And so I retaliated with the same stupid comments. Can't expect anything more. It's just pathetic that since neither of you could argue against what I had to say, you resorted to trying to make me look stupid. Funny that you both failed and ended up looking stupid yourselves.

I'm done with this thread.

[Fyl]

id say my favorite against me! songs are ya'll dont wanna step to dis, we did it all for don, and pint of guiness make you strong

[Fyl]

i dont really know, he just said he didn't give a f'uck.

i can see tom saying that becuase they must hear so much **** from both sides. the only thing that actually got me mad about them playing with green day and all that my friend interviewed them in philly they told him they dont like playing clear chanel shows and they told him they would play our town he got the booking agents number and jordans email they totaly blew him off. Im not saying there sellouts but they got a lof of fans hopes up and let us down but good for them there making it big they deserver all the money they can get.

[iam2000pounds]

I just saw the video on TV.

[skankin'sophr]

anyone ever see them live? i saw them last night in Tampa for the first time and i thought they were amazing. They started off with "Cliche Guevara" and went on to play "Rice and Bread", "Losing Touch", "Sink Florida Sink" "Those Anarcho Punx...", "Reinventing Axl Rose", "Turn Those Clapping Hands...", "You Look Like I Need A Drink", and more. They ended with "Pints of Guiness Make You Strong", which i think was a perfect ending song. They only played a few songs from the new cd, which was good since the new cd is mediocre campared to Reinventing Axl Rose or The Eternal Cowboy.

I like how they had tons of people on stage singing, dancing, and just watching from the back corner. they seemed like the nicest people in the world. They played with The Exit, whom i thought were pretty good, and William Elliot Whitmore, a guy with a banjo.

So talk about Against Me!, live or the new album, etc.

[MILF Hunter]

No because theres about 4 threads a week on them

[TheNowhereman42]

I saw them once with the blood brothers, just after eternal cowboy came out, and its the best show i've ever been to. Next month I should be seeing them twice.

[mostlydeadonarrival]

I saw them back in August '04 opening for Social D @ the Empire. At the time I didn't like them much but no one there really did there soooo

[Anti-Prefix]

That's amazing news. I really hope they have a similar set here in Philly.

[Brain Toad]

This is true. An official thread may be needed until the hupla calms down.

[TheNowhereman42]

it would also make me love you forever nick

[Brain Toad]

Since I can't search Against Me! (Me is too short, Against is too common) I gathered the threads from the last 10 pages to merge. I also have the profile on hand to link.

One official thread coming up!

[Brain Toad]

This is now a merged official thread. This will be the only Against Me! thread allowed. This is being made because of their recent surge in popularity and their newest album release. In this thread you can discuss Against Me!, past, present and future. You can discuss their politics, their music, their lyrics, and everything else. You can post negatively about them, but keep posts like "against me! sux" out, posts like "against me are overrated" or "against me sold out" should be kept to a min. or even kept out, if you post something like this, explain your opinion.

Does anyone have the new album on slsk? I accidentally got the edited version, which really ruins Holy S'hit! and is just annoying.

But Condoleeza is a f'ucking excellent song.

ALL HAIL AGAINST ME! *Gets on knees on waves arms up and down*

I was intrigued by thine thread. I had to find an Mp3 of them. I did. I found Don't Lose Touch, Problems, Cliche Guevara, The Disco Before The Breakdown, Pints of Guiness Make You Strong, and What We Worked For on thier website.

I BELIEVE I HAVE HIT THE JACKPOT.

From this day on Against Me! is inducted as one of my top 10 favorite bands.

Hows about a round of applause for Against Me!

[DeusExMachina]

I don't believe I've ever posted in the Punk Forum before. Maybe I have, don't remember.

Anyways, how is the new album? I haven't had a chance to hear it yet (if anyone wants to send it to me over AIM, I will love them forever. Screen name is DeusExMachina107), but I heard it was good. How does it compare to their earlier stuff, like Crime As Forgiven By...?

It's a good album if you relaized they have evolved in their sound. Musically it is nothing like any earlier stuff, especially Crime. It's still good though. I prefer Crime myself. But the new one is worth the listen.

So it's more like As The Eternal Cowboy? I love all their albums, but I do prefer the more raw sound a bit. But, as long as it's still AM!, I'm sure I'll still love it.

It's the least folky of all their albums, if that is any clue.

[DeusExMachina]

That's a bummer. Oh well. I'll still pick it up when I get a chance.

[AIRIC]

It's still good.

[obese_breasts]

It is indeed.

I will, IM me at Skrunnch

[SlappedByTheClash]

Nick rocks for making this an official thread.


I bought the new album yesterday(Yes, bought.) And I listened to it like 8 times in a row. I love it, even though it definitely not standard AM!

[AIRIC]

Yeah, it's definintely good.

[DOLEMITE]

i love em'

[Weezerfan_returns]

im a piece of ****...

i only own Cowboy, i havent picked up RAR

[guns_of_brixton]

Cliche Guevara is a sweet song.

[Weezerfan_returns]

Cavalier Eternal is a great song... along with TSR and Rice and Bread,but the songs i've heard off of RAR are great, i'll have to pick it up soon

[TheNowhereman42]

I keep listening to Condeleeza and Searching For a Former Clarity, both those songs are really good.

[obese_breasts]

There are a few really good tracks on there some good ones and some not so good.

[TheNowhereman42]

The only song that I really conciously thought "I don't like this song" on is whatever number 6 is.

[Sid]

I swear, you seem to beat that "Buy this album" message into half your posts.

*I'd suggest saving your 20 bucks at target or wherever they're selling this album* and instead download the album. Then go buy the Crime EP. THAT'S my AM! propaganda!

But in other news, I'm looking for Against Me! bootlegs. Post what you have.

[Anarcho Poser]

Violence. Yeah, it's boring and slow and not good.

I dislike Justin, From Her Lips..., Violence, and Even At Our Worst...
I don't like, but don't really dislike Mediocrity.., Pretty Girls, and Holy ****.
The rest, I like.

[AGAINSTME!'sbass]

Their views are changing people are calling them sell-outs and before Against Me! fans were so loyal I would be a little worried too.

[Angry Balled Fists!]

I like some songs from the new one but some are quite poor.

Miami is great.

[AIRIC]

Shutup. They don't care what their fans think.

[ZanderCrank]

I love 'em. I've been seriously starting sort of my own folk/punk band, mostly like them. I really dig the usage of the acoustic guitar, and the lyrics, especially the way they do them in "Those Anarcho Punks Are Mysterios", are amazingly well written. Rhythmically awesome, verbally awesome, and an overall astounding band.

[Brain Toad]

I've given Searching for a Former Clarity 3 full listens so far and I can say now that I like the album. Miami is a really good song. And if you just get past they've evolved away from folk-punk, it is a really well done album.

[TheNowhereman42]

Violence. Yeah, it's boring and slow and not good.

I dislike Justin, From Her Lips..., Violence, and Even At Our Worst...
I don't like, but don't really dislike Mediocrity.., Pretty Girls, and Holy ****.

I like Pretty Girls and Justin, infact Justin is one of my favorites.

[Brain Toad]

I like Pretty Girls and Justin, infact Justin is one of my favorites.

I like Justin somewhat, but the lyrics are pretty bad.

Holy S'hit is pretty good, that's what playing for me right now.

Worst song is Violence I'd say.

[Anarcho Poser]

I like how low. It's folky.

But Violence is definately the worst song on the album, possibly the worst song ever composed by anyone, ever.

Also, I hate all these painfully slow, long, boring introductions to almost every song. It's like Sleep, only worse.

The album kind starts with a bang then goes down to a folky sound, it's quite odd. And Violence just ****s itself in the middle.

[TheNowhereman42]

I'm really glad it didn't suck

[Sid]

Get over it, Tom Gabel isn't an insecure, angry 17 year-old kid, like you anymore.

You know, I pointed it out that it was a perfectly innocent 'joke' beforehand so that the morons wouldn't feel the need to respond. Guess that didn't work.

I never called them sellouts (or whatever else) in that post either, I just said to download it. D'amn, so ready to internet battle me. Quit being an insecure, angry 17 year old kid (over the internet). If the glove fits, you know?

[Anarcho Poser]

I'm also sincerely disapointed that this album doesn't utilize James' inhuman Oooing ability.

[Sid]

Every band should have an Ooher.

[TheNowhereman42]

i prefer whoaoaoaoaoaing to ooooing

[rawdog]

Hey guess what, no-one ****ing likes you.
Is that meant to concern me? I didn't sign up on these forums to be liked. I joined to discuss bands and such, but everyone on here is so close minded and rude that it never happens.

[max_facekick]

I'm seeing them for the first time on October 6th. Can't wait....

[AIRIC]

Ohhs rule.

[Angry Balled Fists!]

Violence isn't too bad imo.

[Iron Bug]

I like Searching... more than RAR. RAR is mostly just halfdescent rerecordings of their eps.

[AIRIC]

I just found this demo called we're here to ruin your fun. It's got burning bridges and one other track on it.

[SlappedByTheClash]

Whoever wrote the review on Sputnik is a f'ucking jacka'ss.


It pisses me off when people do bad reviews. Give VALID REASONS for not liking it. D'amn.


Anyway, I pulled out the Acoustic EP today. The version of Pints is better than the one on RAR.

[Anarcho Poser]

Who sings the chorus in Miami? James?

[thepo]

Who sings the chorus in Miami? James?

Andrew does the "like ballots drifting into the ocean." This guy named Dave Chamberland helps with the backing vocals during the yelling of "MIAMI!"

Ah. That's cool.

There's a song somewhere with some vocals that definately sound like James, but I can't remember hwat song, or if it even exists. I'll get back to you on that.

[Buzzbomb]

I bought Reinventing Axl Rose today. I've only listened to the first three tracks and its pretty f'ucken good.

[(r)evolution]

I just got "searching for a former clarity" from a friend who works at Fat Wreck. It's not as good as their old stuff, i agree. But It's still da'mn good

[Buzzbomb]

I had the choice between RAR or SFAFC. I chose RAR cause Pints of Guiness makes you strong is a wicked song.

[AIRIC]

RAR kicks the new albums butt.

[Brain Toad]

Crime is their best album, just because of the bucket drums.

Yeah, RAR is by far the best, but I prefer the other versions of Walking Is Still Honest and I Still Love You Julie.

either that or they blew a hell of a lot of money in eastern europe and needed to make some fast hah

they have been playing shows with Green Day...if you didn't already know that
