New Bled... New ETID... <3...

I used to think the Bled's screamer was annoying in Pass The Flask but since Keith from ETID sounds alot different now he reminds me of the Bled's dude. God <3...

[QUOTE=Tjebby]Cryonics is a sweet album. My favorite song is Dissertation: 14, I believe thats what its called.[/QUOTE]

The whole album is awesome, but if I had to pick one song, I'd have to go with the majority in saying I'd pick "Pretty Picture Of A Broken Face."

Discovering The Waterfront <3

And Kev, I think Figure 8 is a really good song too. I just can't see why everyone likes Pretty Picture Of A Broken Face so much. Its just good to me.

I liked his scream in PTF, even if I only really enjoyed two or three songs from the album.

I always loved that "Screaming with a mouthfull of spit" sound.

He reminded me of Beloved (RIP) screamer.

I'm not overly impressed by The Bleds new stuff. I liked Hotel Coral Essex. But the first song on new albums are always good. I just downloaded She Calls Home and was incredibly dissapointed.

I'll download some new stuff by ETID. I thought Hot Da[B][I][/I][/B]mn was an awesome album.

BTW, I'm addicted to Pass The Flask. Holy crap.

I love these boys.

The new ETID is very Chunky with a Southern Styled Guitar..

"Jimmy Tango's Method" is the only song by ETID that ever really cought my eye. I really love that song. Makes me want to punch someone in the face. Dane Cook style.

Not that I don't like them, they don't make bad music, that's just the better of their songs.

Zao's old screamer is pretty amazing... Shawn Jonas. I think thats his name.

[QUOTE=BleedthesKY]They have little metal in their music.

Seriously, name me bands. Don't cop out by saying a genre.[/QUOTE]
THat's the problem. Every band I hear that's in that genre sounds exactly the same. It's the worst genre ever. I can't name bands because I don't listen to them.

Dan: I know, it's just funny because this band's all like "Ohh we're hxc" except they used to be power pop...maybe pop-punk, but that's pushing it.

I never got into Zao either. I've only her their new stuff, I think though.

ch-ch-ch-changes!

The way he sings in My Assassin is soooooo good...

Is this FBTMOF that was power pop/pop punk?

Like the Bled's riffs are like constant rape. CHUGA CHUGA and then JUN JUN JUN with random WEEE OOOO's and PEEEEEEZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ!

What does it mean to be 'tongue in cheek' anyway?

[QUOTE=Tjebby]Is this FBTMOF that was power pop/pop punk?[/QUOTE]
Yeah. Their old band. Same guys, different name.

Songs please?

I'm going to critisize The Bled. The two things that bug me are as follows:

They repeat lines too much throughout PTF. I don't know how their new one is. But they write a line and think "Hey, that's catchy, lets finish the last 3 minutes of the song with it!". For example "Lets set our hearts at self destruct. It's cool when Norma Jean does it, but The Bled can't pull it off.

I also don't like the fact that they dont' have a double bass. I dont' think breakdowns sound good without a double bass. It bugs me.

[QUOTE=Tjebby]Songs please?[/QUOTE]
I'm asking my gf for the CD, we'll see. I don't have it. She went to school with them, not me :p

[QUOTE=Tjebby]Is this FBTMOF that was power pop/pop punk?[/QUOTE]
That doesn't make sense.

What doesn't make sense Tom? And Vince, or anyone. Get me songs soon. This is great news i can tell my friends.

Comparing their two newest albums The Bled has evolved into a much more diverse and better band then Norma Jean. There are still things I like about Norma Jean over the Bled but the Bled definitely rips Norma Jean a new phagina.

Okay then.

I listen to:

Real metalcore (50% hardcore, %50 metal)
Above this Fire
Cold War
Capital Tragedy
Bridge To Solace

Fake metalcore (Metal with breakdowns)
Conducting From The Grave
Asherah
Agony Scene
As I Lay Dying

New hardcore
With Honor
Comeback Kid
Where Eagles Dare
When Tigers Fight
Another Breath

Melodic hardcore
Beloved
Set It Straight
Thrice
A Wilhelm Scream


And I know old hardcore (but I hate it).
Gorilla Biscuits
Carry On
[And whoever]

Not a single one of them sound anything like FOT.

There are only three bands who I would ever feel comfortable comparing to FOT

Sound Of Animals Fighting (The least of the three)
Fordirelifesake (In second)
The Mod Flanders Conspiracy (the most similar, I think).

Seriously, what have you heard by them?

I don't mind Norma Jeans new album all that much. They do have a way diffrent sound than most hardcore bands out there now. Bless The Martyr and Kiss the Child slays Pass The Flask IMO.

I think Norma Jean is a little bit better musically. More complicated breakdowns. I always get pissed trying to play the one in The Entire World is Counting On Me and They Don't Even Know It.

Hahaha, I know what you mean. Good thing I can't understand screaming anyway.

I do like their breakdowns though. Nice and chuncky. Spitshine Sonata is an ace song.

Donnybrook.

No not really, they aren't very good.

Jon: Whatever was on their pv.

P.S. FBTMOF's old band was 36 Flip. My gf is playing games with me about sending it though because I wasn't a huge fan of it when she played it for me :-\

Just tell her to send it to me. :D

Im so selfish. :upset:

Their breakdowns all sound the same to me. Some of them have weird timing though.

*begins pole dancing to Face:Face

My friend told me a long time ago that there are Zao lyrics that are bitching about some kids that flamed them on a forum.

Anybody know what I'm talking about? That's kind of funny, yet dumb to put in a song.

/tries not to picture the situation

[QUOTE=Cheer Up Emo Kid]Their breakdowns all sound the same to me. Some of them have weird timing though.[/QUOTE]

I don't mind.

I listen to In Due Time, Let It Die, and a few other bands that are just 90% breakdowns.

I'm a breakdown whore. Completely.

[QUOTE=Puma]What does it mean to be 'tongue in cheek' anyway?[/QUOTE]

I'm seriously wondering. Does anyone know?

[QUOTE=Cheer Up Emo Kid]/tries not to picture the situation[/QUOTE]
[b]SHE SIMPLY WILL NOT DIE[/b]

Ok Jon, I went back and am listening to their stuff again. Thus far, there are unique parts, and totally generic parts...but this wasn't the same sound I was associating with them when I was writing my responses. I apologize for that. However, it still doesn't do much for me. It isn't generic metalcore though except in certain parts.

No clue Kev. Its part of a Relient K album title though.

Me too. I enjoy some of Unearths breakdowns. I'll download some songs by those bands.

This Lying World is one of my favorite songs because of the intro.

The Saddest Day by Converge has the best breakdowns these ears have ever heard.

It's so easy to write metal core lyrics, just group together a bunch of sentences with witty/well rhymed remarks. In a breakdown yell something about killing someone or breaking something. In the outro just repeat one line 30 times. Don't even have a chorus or you'll be called gay by hXc kids. And the louder you scream and the sweatier you get you win.
