[QUOTE=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.[/QUOTE]

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, [I]As the Eternal Cowboy[/I], but still be exploring some new sound.

And Against Me!


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

RudeBoyStompin 09-01-2005 07:21 PM

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.


Download Burn or We Laugh At Danger(And Break All The Rules)

Forest_Fire 09-01-2005 07:46 PM

Burn = One of my favourite AM! songs ever

SlappedByTheClash 09-01-2005 07:47 PM

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

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!.

[QUOTE=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.[/QUOTE]

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.

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

[QUOTE=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!.[/QUOTE]

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?

[QUOTE=z is me]in the world? no one gives a **** about against me[/QUOTE]
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 09-02-2005 03:40 AM

[QUOTE=username77]Shut the f[size=2]uc[/size]k 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.[/QUOTE]
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.

Dude the video is on myspace, next to Jimmy Eat World. 600 more fans, are you delirious?

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.

[QUOTE=Sid]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?[/QUOTE]

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

[QUOTE=Sid]Don't lose touch is a horrible song.[/quote]

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

[QUOTE=Sid](possibly their worst lyrical effort, seriously, look at the lyrics, you'll think your little brother wrote them.)[/quote]

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 09-02-2005 06:31 PM

I'm seeing AM! twice in October. Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay
