BlueW
07.26.10 | Forget 1 and 3
Experiment with 2 and 5
Cherish 4 |
SpottedTrout
07.26.10 | 1 and 3 would waste your time
2 and 4 are decent
i really enjoy 4
Try listening to
Misery Signals - Controller
Converge - Jane Doe or Dark Horse which is easier to get into
Between the Buried and Me - The Great Misdirect, Alaska
The Dillinger Escape Plan - Option Paralysis, Calculating Infinity, Miss Machine
All Shall Perish - The Price of Existence
But don't listen to me, just find music you enjoy even if it hated by this site.

07.26.10 | listen to black metal. You'll instantly be cooler than your friends (although it seems you have already accomplished that grueling task) |

07.26.10 | I caught the LBJ reference. And my friends are mostly the same way. I like some mehtulz though.
I'd suggest listening to BTBAM's Colors and ABR's Constellations. Both decently accessible. You'd probably hate Jane Doe, at least at first. |

07.26.10 | 2 and 3; forget the rest. |

07.26.10 | for every time i die get their new album |

07.26.10 | oh jeez, pretty soon some asshole's gonna go off about how none of those bands are metal.
based on your taste, you might like adtr. they're a mix of (whiny) pop punk and pit hardcore basically. i find them enjoyable from time to time but they get a lot of shit here. all that remains has some good songs but their new album is terrible. dwp is another mediocre but occasionally enjoyable band. i really like august burns red and i like parkway drive too but most of their shit sounds the same.
but anyway, i second all of spottedtrout's suggestions and also thirtysixchambers'. it seems more like you're thinking "metalcore" so i would also suggest:
the eyes of a traitor - a clear perception
glass casket - both albums
ion dissonance - breathing is irrelevant and cursed (the new one)
johnny truant - in the library of horrific events
poison the well - the opposite of december
protest the hero - kezia, fortress (if you like high-pitched singing)
the red chord - fused together in revolving doors, fed through the teeth machine
stray from the path - make your own history
underoath - define the great line, lost in the sound of separation (if you're going to listen to "christcore," take this over dwp)

07.26.10 | "...And this is a fair request, that I will not judge any person only as a teenager, if you will constantly remind yourself that some of MY generation judges people by their race, their belief, or the color of their skin, and that this is no more right than saying all teenagers are drunken dope addicts or glue-sniffers...."
Ahh, summer :-).
Also, in the way of metal, you need to ease yourself into it. If you're not a fan of metal, don't start out with 'Jane Doe', you'll never make it. Usual "segue" bands include:
Slipknot
Linkin Park
Demon Hunter
Disturbed
Mudvayne
Killswitch Engage
Underoath
...stuff like that. No, it's not the "best," but it eases you into listening to heavier stuff, which then allows you to listen to things like August Burns Red and Converge (if you want). My advice, anyways.
KEEP US FROM SAYING ANYTHING
CAN'T SEPARATE FROM EVERYTHING
AND ALL THIS REALLY MEANS IS
WE'RE ONE IN THE CROWD
AND WE'RE PARANOID AT EVERY SOUND |

07.26.10 | chea cheaaaaaaa, boiiiiii |
ipunchscenekids
07.26.10 | I guess I'll be that asshole. 1 is not metal, they are hardcore-influenced pop punk with 2 songs that are kind of metal.
2, 3, 4 are metalCORE, which is kind of a crossover genre and kind of a subgenre. 2 is pretty good, 3 sucks and 4 is eh. 5 is also metalcore but much more metal that the other three. Your friends are not metalheads.
Don't listen to the millions of people who will tell you to get Converge's Jane Doe, it takes a while to get into and is not accessible at all. Check out Dream Theater and Opeth, most deff. |
GenNarain
07.26.10 | lol those are some pretty lame metalhead friends you got there |
ShadowRemains
07.26.10 | lmao |
porkchop182
07.26.10 | 5 is great and 1 is fun (more pop-punk). |
Motiv3
07.26.10 | listen to constellations by August Burns Red. The rest don't even bother with. |
LaCosaNostra13
07.26.10 | Avoid all but 4.
BASS!!! How low can you go? |
witchxrapist
07.26.10 | Well there's the issue, the only good band you mentioned is August Burns Red, and they're not even that good haha.
You should try out good metalcore stuffs like:
Undying - The Whispered Lies Of Angels
Prayer For Cleansing - Rain In Endless Fall
Through The Eyes Of The Dead - The Scars Of Ages
Between The Buried And Me - The Silent Circus |
Apollo
07.26.10 | I love the serious responses to an obvious joke list lol |
crowing51
07.26.10 | 2,4 and 5 are good
BTBAM - Colors,Alaska,The Silent Circus
Every Time I Die - Hot Damn, New Junk Aesthetic
Mastodon - Leviathan
Lamb Of God - As The Palaces Burn, Ashes of The Wake
The Dillinger Escape Plan - Calculating Infinity, Miss Machine
Protest The Hero - Fortress
just a few, |
couldwinarabbit

Apollo
07.26.10 | All my friends
Alone on a hill
They're just looking down
With violent minds out on loan
They're just not equipped
Insistence
We hope for the best
Were not making sense in silence
Wait for the day when you're better than...
In this silence, I'm not buying
You're not faking, you're not...
I guess we better hold on
Again this time
We won't understand again
I'm not waiting for some sense
This time, we won't understand again
I'm not waiting for
Still they sit
Alone on a hill
Their mechanical thoughts have left
The out on their own
They're not buying this
In this silence, I'm not buying
You're not faking, you're not...
I guess we better hold on
Again this time
We won't understand again
I'm not waiting for some sense
This time, we won't understand again
I'm not waiting for

skippingboy123
07.27.10 | that's the kinda stuff my brother likes (plus the Dillinger Escape Plan and crapp stuff like Attack Attack etc) but he also likes good stuff like alternative and classic rock, ya gotta respect a guy who like Jimi Hendrix! :D |
DeafMetal
07.27.10 | Who cares about your brother. |
LightningJ
07.27.10 | Yeah, I knew ADTR wasn't a metal band, but that didn't stop my friends from obsessing over them for a while.
I listened to a little bit of BTBAM and DEP once. Couldn't really get into it at the time, but I could tell I was listening to some good shit. Guess I'll give 'em another try.
And I wish I'd known to avoid TDWP, gave them a listen today, and it was the most uninteresting hour of music I've ever spent lol. |
