What you fail to understand is that the part in 'The Devils Den' at 2:45 was recorded at such a high pitched frequency that only dogs can hear it properly. We just got the leftovers

Yeah he should just drop the womps and do like electro

Are you simply adding "electronic music" as an extension of that, or is this a real argument somewhere?

Now you have tracks like Kyoto where the drums in the drop stay at the most basic half-step pattern for the entirety, and the melodic aspect is just an obnoxiously squealing single note being pitch bent a bit over and over. It isn't dynamic, cool, or new. It's just annoying. "Yo Skrill drop it hard" isn't doing him any favors either. And Right In isn't much better (though it is, a little bit). But the thing is he's even used that shitty trick tons of times by now. Check out his Love In Motion remix or his Cinema remix.

i'm just saying that i personally feel weird about agreeing with you

yea, easily

Don't really see why that would be weird, happens all the time

I need this guy to do a song with Foreign Beggars

He already has, and I'm pretty sure you've heard it

Every time I see the title I think it says gangbang

Nah man, need another BLAU

That was a Noisia thing

Still, it could be done with this guy I think. Perhaps something even MORE quotable...

Fucking one-trick pony. This album is unfathomably bad.

it's different though from the following situations, the most blatant examples I can conjure:

1. I just assume most people who hate limp bizkit or atreyu either (1) were never really into them; or (2) became one of those toolish douchebag who would sell out the younger version of themselves for some meaningless shred of approval



2. I just assume most people who hate hollywood undead either (1) never liked limp bizkit; (2) don't have a sense of humor; or (3) have actually met a person in real life who thinks HU is legit music (which has forever tainted the band's light-hearted, misogynistic hilarity)



3. I assume people who like animal collective just like talking about how much they like things and have never actually listened to them.



4. I assume people who like radiohead weren't cool in high school but had older siblings to mock them and make them feel self-conscious so they missed out on all the great (but passé) catharsis of the bizkit and instead have settled for hollow, condescending rubbish

I get what you're saying Acad, but it almost seems that us not liking Skrillex must be the result of some kind of biased agenda based on any number of things: the artists image, our appreciation or ties to another style of the genre etc. I liked Skrillex when he came out, I didn't love him though. It was dumb but fun music that i could chuck and generally be entertained by it. But as the releases have pushed on, so too has that novelty factor worn off. It seems as if Sonny is trying to make a career based solely on that first impression we all had of him, but that won't work in the long term

After taking the time to read through the last 4 pages of this thread, I get where you're coming from,
acad. My reasons for strongly disliking this are basically identical to Dev's, so to reiterate:
Skrillex's music is stereotypical to the point of hilarity. Most of the songs come off as disingenuous
because of how dressed up and showy they are.

Skrillex is, as far as my opinion is concerned, the Nickelback of Dubstep - an entry level for people
trying to get into electronic music. And there isn't anything wrong with that per se, but this does
very little for me.

He's the Attack! Attack! of dubstep
