They’re a commercial rock band but the best around for what it’s worth, especially playing live



Truth is this is in a different league to recent Deftones or Foo Fighters etc snooze fests, they should have the commercial rock market wrapped up



Truth is they are probably a little too ‘intense’ for the mainstream so there you go

Album Rating: 4.5

Last Deftones album was good though.



The Foo Fighters record is hilariously overrated on here.

Album Rating: 4.5

Last Deftones was only ‘good’ to me, one before that average, new FF is average and one before that was trash

Album Rating: 2.5

while the gud commercial rock argument scans a whole lot more convincingly than the hysterical anthony green crowd masquerading as hardcore trvthers on the last page, that really do be the most hollow crown on offer right now

commerical rock fans should listen to shiner

Album Rating: 4.0 | Sound Off

Well yeah the normie crossover is part of the appeal for this band now, I like them better now that they’ve embraced it rather than sounding vaguely like 311 and acting like tough guys

I do not remember this album

Lol the bar is so low if you are saying “WELL AT LEAST THIS BETTER THAN FOO FIGHTERS AND DEFTONES 20 YEARS INTO THEIR CAREERS”

can we please nuke the shoegaze tag

Album Rating: 4.5

Yeah that tag never made sense to be either

Album Rating: 4.5

I’m saying there SHOULD be commercial rock available, ideally a few bands with members under 50 years old too, and that this commercial rock should be good and work well live.



Saying it’s a ‘tallest dwarf’ contest, sure that’s your opinion, you hate commercial rock or maybe anything commercial - but someone is going to fill this niche and I’m quite amazed how well this band do that.



Yes we can all shout obscure never made it alt rock bands like Failure (self aware) and Shiner…but they are playing a different game to this anyway.

Album Rating: 4.5

I’ve watched a lot of rock bands, many in their pomp, Deftones ‘95 and ‘97, pre fat years…this band eat them alive performing live that’s 100% certain.



One of the best I’ve seen live.



I’m sure intimate hardcore shows would be a different type of crazy - but playing a medium large venue they were insane.

This is one of three shows I missed at the music festival I covered. But I hate this album.

Album Rating: 2.5

Commercial rock absolutely has its place, I personally wouldn't put that in dispute, but there's a way to go about it without creating something so completely sanitized that it loses any potential luster. This is safe to a fault and doesn't allow itself to be loose, which are dire circumstances for an album masquerading under the banner of hardcore.



It doesn't help that so much of what it does feels less of small step forward or at least a tune-up of current trends/past works (this is not Turnstile's Wasting Light moment lol), instead a rehash with a glossy sheen and too little kick to makes its hooks memorable.
