Billy Talent

[2muchket!]

Well I've searched the forums and I can't find a thread on this band. So I decided to make my own. It seems to me like long while since their debut Billy Talent was released, and alot of peple forgot about them. However their follow up Billy Talent II is out on the 27th of June. So are there any fans out there looking forward to the new album ?

i dig some of their stuff out now, i might check it out

[Kif]

Yes! I know a few people here who don't like the lead singer's voice, but I think it fits the music perfectly and makes them stand out from a lot of other normalized and autotuned vocalists. I got into them through "Red Flag" on Burnout Revenge and now I'm eagerly awaiting their new album.

For anyone who hasn't heard them, check out the songs on there (Definately "Red Flag", I love that song)

Billy Talent is great.

[Pazz]

I actually like Billy Talent a lot. I listened to them and kinda forgot about them, but I'm looking forward to the new album.

[Mute Print]

I listen to these guys from time to time. They're okay.

I never hated a band so much as I hate billy talent, I can't describe it, just wanna like throw a brick at the singer or something :)

I love Line & Sinker and Voices Of Violence. Devil In A Midnight Mass didn't quite do it for me though. I hope we will see better songs on Billy Talent II

[DepthsOfDreams555]

I've meant to listen to them for so long. I've heard a lot about the lead singer's vocals. I like them, the guys voice is unique, I like it.

I just accidently downloaded a acoustic/live file thing by them, which is sweet.

I realy love there album though, i realy should re-download it.

[skingle]

Try Honesty and Line and Shinker are my favourite songs. I can only listen to about half the album at a time though because the guys voice becomes annoying quite fast.

HIDEOUS. My friend Rachel showed me them and I hated them. I think they're terrible. Then again, I suck.

I have a 3 track sampler of Billy Talent II, and it's ok. Ish. Red Flag is a damn fine song though.

Gav > Billy Talent tbh

[Oz Rembrandt]

I'm not a big fan, but I may go see them in Newcastle, because Reuben are the support :D

[TMA]

I love 'em, and I cannot WAIT for the new album.
Their S/T is one of my favorite albums of the past five years

[nag*with*a*gun]

[Left Shoe]

Am I the only one who thinks that the chorus of their song "Try Honesty" sounds alot like "One-Armed Scissor" by At the Drive-in?

I dont dig Billy Talent btw

[2muchket!]

I heard Devil In a Midnight Mass recently thought it sounded good and things look good for the new album.

[Mitch2oo6]

I dig Billy Talent big time, chillers they are!

Yeah, that was quite obvius. I used to think they ripped off ATDI until i heard their other songs.

[Drummer Freak 911]

"red flag" is great

Cast off the crutch that kills the pain
The Red Flag waving never meant the same
The kids of tomorrow don't need today
When they live in the sins of yesterday

Ooh, when?

[2muchket!]

So from the new album what are you guys liking. Worker bees is my fav as of yet. The Suffering is pretty good too. Devil in a MIdnight Mass I'm liking as well.

[Fish]

overall it is a pretty solid album. I like the first one better though.

[2muchket!]

As an album the concept and formula are pretty simialr TBH.

[Fish]

yeah, the newer one seems a bit more radio friendly. Not by much though.

[B]

The new stuff is terrible. The old stuff is ok. The singer should quit because even though it fits the music, my grandma can sing better.

[Hep Kat]

Some of their songs (okay, like two) are okay.



I want to rip out their singer's vocal chords and feed them to some hounds, though.

[Fish]

The new stuff is terrible. The old stuff is ok. The singer should quit because even though it fits the music, my grandma can sing better.

um, its not that bad, i like when ian sings with him it sounds a bit better.

[2muchket!]

The new stuff is the same as thew old stuff really.

[TakeWarning]

Hate them with a passion.

[Fish]

just cause? any reasons?

[form]

Hate them with a passion.
oh yeah

finally, ****ing hate this band so much

[poprocks&coke]

My friends bum over them. I don't really mind them too much, I mean... I like Line and Sinker.

I'm going to see them next Saturday.

[Fish]

Line and Sinker is my favorite Billy Talent song overall.
