[QUOTE=bringonthebreakdown;15780879]Seriously, all the people on here that talk down to bands for being "generic". I'm sorry that no one listens to your elitist bullsh[i]i[/i]t that no one has heard of ever. 90% of bands are generic, because most bands don't really bring much new to the table and if they do, its still in the same genre, so it's generic. 99% mainstream rock is generic. 99% of rap is generic. Some of you guys would listen to progressive rock like the Mars Volta and go "man this sh[i]i[/i]t is too generic, it's too progressive and has too many latin influences." I challenge you to find a metalcore band (maybe other than Converge) that is not generic that at least some of us have heard of. otherwise, stfu. if you don't like the band, then just don't talk about them, don't flame people who do enjoy them.[/QUOTE]
A band can be generic and still be good. When people say "generic", they usually mean "bland" or "lacking substance".

Buried Inside, Botch.

Personally, I find Botch to be just as generic as most other stuff.

and I mean, i wouldn't mind people saying "i hate this band" or i really can't stand this album but there's always a "you f[i]u[/i]cktard" or "you're really dumb go kill yourself" tagged on the end. trolling ftl.

Tyler 01-03-2008 03:40 PM

no but seriously if botch is generic to you then you really are a ****tard. because you arent generic if you're the one everyone is copying.

i agree
if you dont like a band
and if you REALLY feel the need to voice that opinion
why cant people just do it in a somewhat civilized manner?
but like i said, its just human nature to say whatever you want as bluntly as you want without any thought.

but i do like botch a lot

I didn't say botch was bad, and didn't even mean they were bland, i meant they were generic. They fall into the metalcore genre without bringing too much different stuff to the table. I love botch as much as the next guy.

Mattijuana 01-03-2008 03:47 PM

That's because they were the ones that brought it to the table originally.

[QUOTE=Cocaine;15780887]there's good and bad generic[/QUOTE]

Yep. KsE are good generic. ABR aren't.

Botch are legends of the genre as well

I really don't know how all you guys could find them boring, but whatever, everyone has their own taste.

2muchket! 01-03-2008 03:58 PM

They're not completely terrible like parkway drive, but there just a bit average.

encmetalhead 01-03-2008 03:58 PM

ABR is good but i'm hardly in the mood to listen to them

What can I say? I used to listen to Opeth waaaaay too much.

Though I really don't like Ghost Reveries. :/

But yeah, metalcore. Does anybody know how many songs Architects will have on that split?
