I listened to the first song on btbam's new ep and was laughing during most of it

they are great at writing transitions but their music is pretty lol

plus a lot of the people from the forum have been here since before there even was a reviewsite. a majority of the forum users came from mx tabs. review site is all newfags

who puts a hoe down part in 3 consecutive albums

no doubt theyve got talent, and they used to be one of my favorite bands so its not like i'm unfamiliar with their shit, but damn. they really blew it.

[QUOTE=2muchket!;18474978]But it's rare for a highly commented on album to have truly decent discussion.

The forums are much better in that aspect, plus the level of knowledge over new bands or less well known bands seems over there seems to lag behind here.

We've had quite a few people come here asking for new recs cos they get the same shit over and over and over and over in lists.

Fact is john if you can ride out being called a faggot for a few days and manage to understand the culture of this forum a little, you stand to pick up a lot of excellent music just from casual discussions.[/QUOTE]

you gotta realize that what you listen to here in rnm wont be as represented there, and shit that is regularly discoverd in the review site doesnt make it here because its "indie bullpoop"

just looked at punk section of review site

popular albums:

green day
thursday
yellowcard
AFI

none of that is even punk wtf. this is why the review site is shit

then make it better blockhead

gotta realize when you click punk youre getting every vague subblanket term on the review site.

basically people in rnm listen to more brutal/hardcore type stuff that isn't as commercially accessible. the review site is 16 year olds listening to indie pop and their dad's record collection

[QUOTE=Iluvatar;18474990]gotta realize when you click punk youre getting every vague subblanket term on the review site.[/QUOTE]

those bands should be under rock or pop. they aren't even remotely punk.

brutal/hardcore type stuff

Indie/Alt rock is listened to here quite a bit by a fair few posters, there's just no express thread.

I was thinking about making one actually, so I could maybe discuss the new Manchester Orchestra and one of my favourite english bands that no-ones heard of Survive Atlantica.

everyone on syd's fb like her status

[QUOTE=(*The Noonward Race*);18474989]then make it better blockhead[/QUOTE]

there's no point. there are people in rnm who know about real punk and hardcore and i can just talk to them. i didn't come here to educate 16 year olds about music.

please dont make a fucking altindie thread in r&m. youve already killed most of the forums at least let that one sort of survive.

thursday is a punk band.

[QUOTE=adb;18474993]brutal/hardcore type stuff[/QUOTE]

i mean that people are either into extreme metal like death metal/black metal etc. or into hardcore/powerviolence/grind.

more extreme genres of music and the review site is more commercially acceptable pop/indie crap

[QUOTE=Iluvatar;18474998]thursday is a punk band.[/QUOTE]

nah dude they're not. i just listened to one of their songs again and it's pussy shit. there is nothing punk about this. it has pussy vocals and isn't hardcore at all.

did someone say brutal hardcore

such as
Bring Me the Horizon
Stick To Your Guns
Winds of Plague
Years Spent Cold

edit: also i guarantee geoff rickley is more punk than 95% of people in "punk" bands

[QUOTE=Iluvatar;18474998]please dont make a fucking altindie thread in r&m. youve already killed most of the forums at least let that one sort of survive.

killed ?

the hardcore thread and emo/screamo thread came into existence due to the lack of activity.

There are threads dating back from January on the first page of the alt/indie forum, hardly a hotbed of discussion.

But ofc INDIE BANDS WITH TRUMPETS THREAD needs to continue. Not like anyone will defect or stop posting in there anyway if I do make it.

I giggled.

I like pie, haven't had that in a long ass time though...

brownies >> both

Brownies fucking suck

Weird night, this girl from my German class came over and we were suppose to go out dancing with a bunch of my friends here but they all decided they were too tired so we were hanging in the kitchen and all these Serbians came in and we played cards for an hour then came back to my room and made out, she decided she wanted to go home I guess. Kinda weird because she speaks like no English and I had to try and converse in German the whole time, oh well not a big deal sounds like we'll hang again and I am kinda feeling sick anyway.

lol making out when sick
[QUOTE=shortz;18475015]Brownies fucking suck[/QUOTE]

:angry:

why didn't you fuck her

She said she wanted to go home, I didn't do anything to weird her out as far as I know but I'm guessing she probably wasn't dtf with some dude she barely knew or something along those lines, whatever it's not a big deal haha.
