Wombat988: I Still Don't Hate This Band

Winrar 05.31.12	lolbtbam
DotEight 05.31.12	Okay 2 issues. 1. It's a BTBAM list. 2. You don't even have close to the right order.
YetAnotherBrick 05.31.12	it's weird. i mean, all their albums have pretty high ratings on here, but the people that don't like them seem to be WAYYYYYYY more vocal about it than the people that like them. it's...really fucking annoying, actually.
macadoolahicky 05.31.12	Pretty sure the order is by release date, DotEight
Wombat988 05.31.12	Yeah, I may be retarded for liking this band, but at least I know what order their albums would go if this was ranked by how good they are It's the same actually
stabbler 05.31.12	I thought their 'parallel' EP would be out by now?...the second one i mean
JakeStallion 05.31.12	I still love this band. It's probably due to the fact that I liked them 3 years before even discovering Sputnik. It is pretty annoying to see all the shit that gets talked about them, most of it being undeserved.
pjquinones747 05.31.12	Idk i think they kick ass
Wombat988 05.31.12	This is the one time the fans are allowed to venture out of their holes to experience the privilege of free speech and opinion then?
FearThyEvil 05.31.12	it's weird. i mean, all their albums have pretty high ratings on here, but the people that don't like them seem to be WAYYYYYYY more vocal about it than the people that like them. it's...really fucking annoying, actually. THIS so much. I don't mind if you don't like the band but giving it a 1 at least for Colors or TGM just seems wrong. It's obvious they can write songs, solos, and do some incredible things so if you dislike it I can see a 2 or something but a 1 is pushing it. Also, again if you dislike them fine however, people just love to bring their hate for the band everywhere. For fuck sake I see it on threads that are not even close to being BTBAM relevant. So much undeserved hate for a band that is miles ahead of many other bands especially ones that deserve much more hate.
Wombat988 05.31.12	I'm going to annoy most sputnikers out there right now by saying colors is a 5 and Jane doe is a 3.5 at best
Metalstyles 05.31.12	Their lowest rated album has an average rating of 3.5 and two of their LPs feature an average rating that's over a 4 here. Yea, you should have been slaughtered for liking them.
Scoot 05.31.12	most of the hate is due to the fact that people are sheep
Hyperion1001 05.31.12	they revolutionized music forever along with isis
DotEight 05.31.12	"Yeah, I may be retarded for liking this band, but at least I know what order their albums would go if this was ranked by how good they are" You obviously don't play guitar do you.
Hyperion1001 05.31.12	that OBVIOUSLY changes an objective rating right?
Shuyin 05.31.12	'they revolutionized music forever along with isis' isis is fucking awsome, hype. get it right.
wacknizzle 05.31.12	People didn't hate on this band till Colors, I got pretty bored with them after that album. Alaska and Silent Circus and still always a fun listen every once in awhile. If you like em you like em, just don't be one of those unclever bandwagon fags who play follow the leader to whatever someone else likes.
YankeeDudel 05.31.12	Yea I dont get it either. Their albums are rated highly but they seem to get nothing but shit from people here. They're an interesting band to me. Hit or miss.
Turtlestlker 05.31.12	I used to like this band, then they got boring as fuck to me.
AdamK 05.31.12	Btbam are really talented. I think Sputnik is just upset that they gained popularity on the site
wacknizzle 05.31.12	I found them when Silent Circus came out and it blew me away, then Alaska was awesome, then loved them once Colors came out. The Great Misdirect did nothing for me but The Parallax was alright. I hope The Parallax 2 is good enough to re-spark my interest in them.
Gwynbleiddsfang 05.31.12	So, a band that is highly rated and is on over a 1000 members 'favorite' list gets nothing but shit here all the time... Interesting.
botb 05.31.12	nah btbam rules.
ILJ 05.31.12	I don't understand that hate either. I can see not liking Tommy's harsh vocals, because they are definitely pretty weak in comparison, but other than that... It confuses me that they really do catch so much shit. I mean, you don't have to like them obviously, but they're one of the few groups that are heavily influenced by metalcore and are actually very unique and interesting.
saucy 05.31.12	Will always love them, no matter what.
GuanoBumbershoot 05.31.12	This ranking pretty most goes in the exact opposite direction it should. I don't hate this band either. I don't know why you would be worrying about what bands sputnik does or doesn't like.
dathvada321 05.31.12	this band has some pretty high album ratings on this site...idk why u think u should hate this band after being here lol
dathvada321 05.31.12	@flutter nope. 2,3,4
dathvada321 05.31.12	yup
Masochist 05.31.12	"So, a band that is highly rated and is on over a 1000 members 'favorite' list gets nothing but shit here all the time... Interesting." Spend enough time here, and you'll find that it's the norm. A band can't be universally lauded without being universally despised, as well, and you'll come to find out that that statement makes PERFECT sense while on Sputnik. Want proof? Look at Opeth, Thrice, Tool, Brand New...see how high their albums are rated, and see how many times you see people say they hate them. Or even better...observe how one single negative review of an album can take that album's rating from 4.4 down to 4.1 in damn near a day (a huge drop for an album with over a thousand votes on it). Sputnik is a site of contradictions. Don't think about it too hard, and don't take it too personally, and you might survive.

I've noticed that a bit.
GuanoBumbershoot 05.31.12	Saw it happen to the new Say Anything album. Ya it was a big let down, but not as offensively bad as some made it sound.
dathvada321 05.31.12	lol well obviously even the good bands are going to get hate from someone, and the more talked a bout bands are, the more hate they get. just look at metallica. there are so many people out there who hate them yet theyre one of the most popular metal artists ever. i dont think its anything unique to sputnik at all
AdamK 05.31.12	who talks shit about brand new?
GuanoBumbershoot 05.31.12	Just like people loving Jane Doe by Converge, thats not unique to sputnik at all. Some people seem to think so though.
tarkus 05.31.12	brand new is super overrated also pretty much all the bands mentioned in these comments suck dick
ConcubinaryCode 05.31.12	i think thats just how music works. for every two people that like a band theres one who dislikes it. BTBAM have a handful of good songs though: mordecai, selkies, alaska, the man land
Wombat988 05.31.12	@DotEight I do play guitar actually. Not sure how the two are linked at all but whatever
Strider 05.31.12	Yes, you should
owen 05.31.12	I have been on this site for 19 months and i've never liked this band
Wombat988 05.31.12	I think The great misdirect is better than most make out, but from best to worst it goes Colors Alaska The Great misdirect The silent circus Self titled
Wombat988 05.31.12	Though I don't rate the silent circus too highly, Mordecai demolishes just about every other song they have
MaskAtTheMasquerade 05.31.12	Laser Speed is really relaxing but the rest of their stuff never really appealed to me
AtomicWaste 05.31.12	You're aware Colors Live was album of the year for its time here, right? Saw them tour for The Great Misdirect (country breakdowns and all) and wasn't really into it. Probably because Scale the Summit, Cynic, and Devin Townsend all played before them and were outstanding. Colors and Alaska are amazing albums, though.
MO 05.31.12	i've been on this site for 2 years and they are still poop, richardson is a beast though
Camstr 06.01.12	Btbam is fucking incredible. So happy they decided to make the parallax part 2 into an LP instead of another EP. Only thing that I disliked about the parallax part 1 is that it wasn't twice as long.
