Album Rating: 4.5

Well yea, but that doesn't make the album as a whole radio rock. I'm surprised that song even got

pretty big because it's dark as fuck.

You have no faith in popular music, do you Mongi?

Album Rating: 4.5

Where did I say that in this thread exactly? I just said that I don't think White Pony is radio rock.

Alt Metal =/= Radio Rock

Album Rating: 2.5

whats radio rock ? i mean so many different radio stations, you mean music that is inoffensive and easily digested and fits on generic rock stations ?

prob but that's not white pony at all

Album Rating: 4.5

Well when I think of radio rock I think of bands that are easily accessible like Daughtry and 3 Doors

Down. I never really thought of Deftones as universally accessible.

If you think a song can't be popular just because it's dark, you don't have very much faith in popular music.

Album Rating: 2.5

who said that ?

Mongi said he was surprised that a song got popular because it was dark. It's not really that abnormal.

Album Rating: 4.5

I don't understand why you think this because that's really not what I think. And I said I was "surprised" it got as big as it did. Not "it couldn't be big." I don't understand why this automatically means that I have no faith in popular music.

I guess it would be nice... If I could touch your body.

next thing you guys are going to tell me...

"i've never heard Street Spirit, The Bends, Planet Telex, High and Dry..and Fake Plastic Trees on the radio"

The Bends is a radio/mtv friendly Radiohead album...

This does not somehow "diminish" the entire catalog of the band. Its just a great mainstream album, like White Pony.

I'm not accusing you. I posed this to you in question form. You just seem to distrust popular things. That's all I was saying. Not even an insult.

Album Rating: 2.5

i can understand why people mistrust popular things bcos they often turn out to be crap, and im not just talking music, popular often equates to lowest common denominator

This review sucks lol... "The instruments are better and the vocals are better" sums up this review. Need to be more specific.

Yeah, but not always. I'm just saying popularity should have nothing to do with whether you like or dislike something.

Album Rating: 4.5

When you say popular music, what do you mean exactly? Stuff in the Billboard Hot 100?

"i can understand why people mistrust popular things bcos they often turn out to be crap, and im not just talking music, popular often equates to lowest common denominator "

my point was just that this is not a 4.5 in relation to some of the g.o.a.t radio albums...

and if we are going on just a general rating scale of music...its even lower.

I was referring to whatever the hell you were referring to, Mongi. "Radio Rock" and the like.
