My question to you is what the hell are you yelling at? For me, it ruins the song. I love the instrumental aspect of the songs but the yelling kills it completely. I think you would be better off with a rock singer, or someone that sings alternative. Screaming is just a major turn off in music unless there is a reason for it and it is understandable. But for a song called 12/4/03 I have to assume you are yelling because you got a D on your math test or something ridiculous like that. Other than the vocals, I liked it.

yea, man your guys music is pretty amazing, where do you people get these singers my god -_-.

Alexisonfire is the same way, they got good music but wtf happened with the singer.

Keep up the good msuic tho

Just get a different singer :/

Umyeah · 10-02-2004, 02:25 PM

Holy hell you need a new singer. That music was SO incredible up to the singing. At about 3:46 though his voice changed. THAT is how it should be all the time. My opinion.

BassMan182 · 10-02-2004, 02:28 PM

i hate this kind of bullsh*t with a passion. this is exactly the kind of fucking nonsense i complain about on this forum. the music is spot on, but please for the love of god, kill your "vocalist" in a painful manner.

headshrinker · 10-02-2004, 02:49 PM

What guitars and stuff are you guys using?? I hate that guitar sound, I cnt stand it! Your playing is there and all but that guitar sound! Oh yer and your singer sucks!

StormX · 10-02-2004, 04:28 PM

Awesome band, I love it.

And yeah, I like the vocalist, I don't care what you people say.

CommieCanada · 10-02-2004, 05:07 PM

10-03-2004, 05:45 AM

i agree, great music - ****ty singer. get someone that sings good normal and maybe occasionally screams.

GetoCity · 10-03-2004, 05:28 PM

kick *** music and good singer

Johnny Roxburgh · 10-03-2004, 05:34 PM

Yeh, pretty much the same as the other guys, the singer ruined it for me. I guess if you like it that's all that matters though, right?

Its not that I dont like screaming, I just dont like ****ty vocalists that ruin their chords. Ultimatley he will lose his range, voice and tone and the band will have to find a new singer anyway. Might as well kick him out now and find a better vocalist so you wont need to change the line up of the band.

I ****ing hate screamo...great musicans but I hate screamo

ditchdog · 10-19-2004, 02:50 PM

I like it! The production is great, the playing is great and I like the vocals. It really does have more effect when the song combines the melodic singing with the screaming; my only humble recommendation is to use the melodic approach more. The melody is what gets the tune stuck in the listener's head...you need to use these hooks to elevate yourself from the pack. I definitely get an Underoath meets Slayer vibe from the tunes.

Good luck!!

Floor_13 · 10-19-2004, 04:00 PM

I like it a lot. The screaming sounds great, and I agree with ditchdog. You should use a little more singing as well, but definitely keep the screaming. Its not everyone's forte, but I think it kicks my face in. Musically, also, the song is awesome.

Keep up the good work!

~~AmericanWeiner~~ · 10-19-2004, 04:14 PM

I'm not a big fan of the hardcore/screamo scream...whatever... But this guy's pretty good at it. Unfortunatly, it sounds horrible when he does it to sing...Maybe if he sang, and used the scream to lead into the harder parts or somethin, I don't know. It never made sense to me to scream throughout the whole song...no one can understand it anyways.

swedelead · 10-19-2004, 05:52 PM

I dig your music, it has some kickass rythms and wicked guitar/bass stuff, and i thought the vocals are pretty cool except your going to be compared to alexisonfire and FATA. My only complaint about your music is the rhythms that you use in certain areas of the song do not fit structurely with the rest of the song.
