06.05.10 | List is WIN. 1 was their worst, 2 their worst, 3, their worst, 4, their worst, 5 was not their worst but they usually suck anyway, I actually like 6, and 7 was alright. |
Counterfeit
06.05.10 | List is actually really good. But I could give a shit if any of these guys got good. Specially a7x |
bloc
06.05.10 | 7 is pretty good though, but I agree with the rest |
Inveigh
06.05.10 | definitely agreed about the production on that KsE record, dunno why they pulled Adam D from behind the boards |
TheSpirit
06.05.10 | 7 is probably their best js |
Motiv3
06.05.10 | 7 is a very good album. A7X will never improve regardless, they just need to stop. |
Alucard125
06.05.10 | 6 is very true. I liked 4, but not as good as Revolutions. |
McCopper
06.05.10 | lol |
O.J. Simpson
06.05.10 | all these bands have always blown hard and always will |
theacademy
06.05.10 | amen to 6 they used to be so awesome |
JamieTwort
06.05.10 | All these bands bore me (except for maybe 6), so yes they need to improve! |
porch
06.05.10 | this is like a school report card for a class full of retards
there's no hope |
JamieTwort
06.05.10 | ^LOL |
astrel
06.05.10 | So what you are saying is that metalcore needs to get better? Because I think we all knew that already. |
ninjuice
06.05.10 | I love how every negative comment on 4 basically boils down to "Tim doesn't scream as much wah wah wah". The Unraveling is their worst.
7 is the closest Trivium have come to being truly good. |
Emim
06.05.10 | 7 is probably the best on this list. Matt really needs to work on his screams though. |
anuspudding
06.05.10 | wow, this really is one giant list of shitty bands who were decent at one point |
vanderb0b
06.05.10 | I agree with pretty much the whole list. 3 has really become terrible in the past few years, they aren't the same without the old vocalist. |
Dryden
06.05.10 | ugh all thoes bands should break up right now |
Inveigh
06.05.10 | I'll say it again, Jesse leaving is not the reason their sound changed. Joel wrote 90% of the material on Alive or Just Breathing (at least according to him and Adam in a Revolver interview about 5-6 years ago) and Adam took over majority songwriting duties once he moved full-time to guitar. He described his songwriting style as "much more poppy than Joel" in that Revolver interview which was conducted before TEoH was released.
I liked Jesse's stuff better than Howard's too (at least with KsE), but I don't think the newer albums would have been much better with him. Actually, he kinda sucks on The Empire Shall Fall's album and most of the stuff he did with Seemless. |
Emim
06.05.10 | Have you heard the Roadrunner Allstars album, Inveigh? |
Inveigh
06.05.10 | I have, that song with Howard (I think it's the first one on the album.. right?) is awesome. I only liked a few songs off that, though the DVD that came with it was pretty interesting. |
Skybreaker
06.05.10 | List was predictable
But yeah, 1 is their worst (but I like the drumming and guitar work) 2 is their worst (again, I like the drumming and guitar work) 3 and I COMPLETELY agree with 4. Huge disappointment after the novelty wears off. |
Emim
06.05.10 | "I have, that song with Howard (I think it's the first one on the album.. right?) is awesome. I only liked a few songs off that, though the DVD that came with it was pretty interesting."
Yeah, it is the first one and it is awesome. I was thinking more of Jesse's performance on Blood & Flames. What did you think of that? |
bloc
06.05.10 | The one with Matt Heafy is pretty nice |
cvlts
06.05.10 | list could use a lot more bands.
but the ones listed are definately for sure. |
Emim
06.05.10 | "The one with Matt Heafy is pretty nice"
Ha ha, wow. I was just listening to that. There are a lot of good tracks on that album. |
8bit
06.05.10 | guess that singer:
yeaahhhhieeieeahhhieeeee yeah yeaahhhhhh ieeahieee |

06.05.10 | @Inveigh
KSE was good with Howard for a short while (not as good as AOJB), but then their songwriting became much worse. I liked The End Of Heartache, but after that, they began to write a bunch of bland, lifeless drivel, with a very small amount of interesting material. I didn't know that Jesse's contribution to the songwriting was so small. That said, I've heard some of his post-KSE projects, and they did not impress me very much. |
Inveigh
06.05.10 | I mean, I think he wrote all the lyrics I was just referring to the music. While I think the last one is their weakest, I actually like As Daylight Dies more than The End of Heartache.
Emim: I love his performance on that song, maybe his best post-KsE |
Emim
06.05.10 | After listening to that album again, there really are a lot of great vocalists and musician on there. Army of the Sun(Bloodsimple vox), Roads(Mikael Akerfedlt), The Enemy(Mark Hunter), The End (Matt Heafy) are all great songs. |
Inveigh
06.05.10 | agreed on those tracks. my problem is that basically the rest of it is pretty bad |
Emim
06.05.10 | I really only hate the King Diamond and No Way Out tracks. |
Locrian
06.06.10 | "That said, I've heard some of his post-KSE projects, and they did not impress me very much."
I actually kind of like The Empire Shall Fall, but the rest of them aren't so great. |
O.J. Simpson
06.06.10 | Anything affiliated with KsE suchs so it makes not difference. |
heyadam
06.06.10 | so disappointed in 3...I really hope they get back to how they were |
Disconnected
06.07.10 | I think I'm the only one here who thinks that 2 is good. |
Locrian
06.07.10 | Actually, as of this writing, 412 people on this site rated it "good" or better (assuming my brother did the math correctly), so you can't be the only one. |
Phrike
06.07.10 | more like bands that need to call it quits |
CutMan
06.07.10 | The Crusade sounds stale and energy-less half the time. Shogun has plenty of energy. To each their own. |
Damrod
06.07.10 | I agree 110% with number 4, "Appeal To Reason" is such an overall disappointing album... I even irgnored it in the bargain bin for 5 bucks, and that says something |
CrisStyles
06.07.10 | Rise Against just basically uses the same formula that got them attention in the first place and have overused it to the point of staleness |
Locrian
06.07.10 | @Damrod: The only reason I even ended up purchasing 6 was because it was going for $6.99 on the iTunes Store.
@CrisStyles: Yeah, most bands will do that eventually - a prime example being Killswitch. |
fr33convict
06.07.10 | I agree entirely with 1-6 and 7 in the sense that they need to improve still. |
EpXeh
06.08.10 | I have to disagree with Trivium, I think Shogun is their best album by far, and I like A7x's self titled better than 7th trumpet and city (but mostly because of the second half, unbound - dear god) Not familiar with the other bands really, but I like rise against's newest (its really the only one ive heard by them though) and i agree with overcome. There's some decent things about it but overall its pretty weak |
Locrian
06.08.10 | @EpXeh: What you need to do is get some of Rise Against's older work. Then you'll know what I'm talking about. |
Mordecai.
06.08.10 | lol at the first comment. all these bands pretty much suck (Rise Against have a few good songs though) and have no hope |
McCopper
07.20.10 | There's nothing to improve in a band where everything is funtamentaly wrong |
zarquan99
07.20.10 | 2 and 7 were never good. Rest used to be fucking awesome. |
