6 - that band is boring as shit
reason for 5 and 8 is same - a great album but it seems to be grossly fucking overrated on sputnik |

Really? Cuz I find it utterly ridiculous that if 1 credible person on this site says something's a classic, it becomes a trend to where even the people who hate that genre of music are listing it as one of their favorites. You guys are pathetic. |

You don't like them cause you don't have to, it's called taste. The same way I hate gorgonzola cheese. |
Inveigh
10.07.10 | I love when people think that stuff like Jane Doe and Blackwater Park are only classics on Sputnik. I was well aware of the incredible amount of hype surrounding both of those albums for a good 7-8 years before I'd ever heard of Sputnik lol |

Yeah, but not liking gorgonzola cheese is like saying you don't like breathing.
"I love when people think that stuff like Jane Doe and Blackwater Park are only classics on Sputnik. I was well aware of the incredible amount of hype surrounding both of those albums for a good 7-8 years before I'd ever heard of Sputnik lol"
I understand that Jane Doe and Blackwater Park are classics in other areas, I just find it oddly stupid that whenever I log on to the site, there are 18 threads about Converge and Blackwater park on the front page. That's retarded. |

Inveigh
10.07.10 | well yeah it's retarded that people are still going that crazy over them 9 years after the fact
that was one of the things that really surprised me when I began spending a lot of time here -- the amount of hyperbole given to bands/albums that I thought were kind of, you know, old news (Opeth, Converge, Thrice etc) |

It's pathetic. If you're just hearing the album now, it's fine to comment on a thread about the album/band. When you have 9,000 comments, though, and 7500 of them are on a Jane Doe thread, that's a bit pathetic. |
GorgonzolaCheese1
10.07.10 | "breathing? psht, that's for faggots."
No, it's for straight men. Eating, now that's for faggots. |
Inveigh
10.07.10 | right, it was like stepping back into the early 2000s |
LegendofPittman
10.07.10 | Well, in Converge and Thrice's case, those genres slowly died after their peaks. They are the last remnants of once amazing genres that now have a "great" album once every blue moon. |
GorgonzolaCheese1
10.07.10 | It doesn't matter. It's unnecessary. How many times does one person have to post on a Converge thread "Great band?" |
Baphomet
10.07.10 | fuck! that reminds me! I have to go post "Great band" in the Jane doe thread, brb. |

alachlahol
10.07.10 | i don't listen to any hardcore/metalcore at all but i have Jane Doe a 5
Gaslight anthem has that down home hard working blue collar vibe to it that vibe that Bruce Springsteen gives in his songs so it's also a guaranteed 5 |
GorgonzolaCheese1
10.07.10 | Yeah, but so do a lot of other bands, and their albums aren't automatically a 5, so your point is moot. |

So just because a band's intense means they are worthy of "classic?" Bullshit. Emmure's instense and they SUCK! Plus, the lyrics are as nonsensical as an honest priest. |

10.07.10 | I know why you dislike ATRU. It's the exact same reason that most of the site went on a hating-spree of the oft-loved band a little bit ago.
First of all, CTTS is not indicative of screamo at all, and in no way does it represent screamo. That's why I'm dumbfounded when users say something along the lines of "I don't like screamo... yeah I listened to ATRU and really disliked it." The sound of ATRU is almost entirely unlike what I would call the norm for the genre, and it's one of the single worst places to start for the genre, I think.
Now, if you already have a base of being used to listening to the tenets screamo, the things the genre values and what makes a record outstanding in that context, then ATRU is considered fairly outstanding. That's why they seemed to be so well-loved on Sputnik, for a while. People who KNEW what they were listening to and HOW to listen to it (as douchey as that is), were praising the album to no end. New listeners went in expecting greatness, and probably promptly hated it, if they were anything like me.
But from what I know, they kept trying, let the record grow on them... got past the ridiculousness of certain aspects... embraced the moments of catharsis. Some still hated it, most likely because of the sporadicalness or the vocals, and that's fine too.
(cont)... |
SeaAnemone
10.07.10 | (cont)...
Point is, many users LATER went into ATRU with an attitude of "hey, it's gonna be an overhyped Sputnik record that we figured out isn't really that good!" and promptly and understandably, hated it because they're unaccustomed with the tenets of the genre and used to listening to Three Days Grace and Emery. They went in looking for flaws, and by golly they found 'em! Seriously, who goes into a record wanting to hate it? Anyways, subsequent listens weren't taken to find the beauty in ATRU, but instead to build an argument around the original flaws that were found so that you could sound SUPER COOL when posting here.
It's idiotic... yes, there were people who rated it highly when they didn't enjoy it much to fit in, I'm sure... but there was also a following of the record for very good reason, even if MJ would disagree. And while ATRU doesn't display what most of you look for in music (which is 100% fine), and nor does it display what can rightly be called 'the best of screamo' or the 'epitome of screamo,' it without a doubt has a ton of awesome qualities that are very gratifying if you look for them the right way.
And I'm well-aware that this doesn't apply to everyone. There's people who know and appreciate far more screamo / music in general than I that hate this record, and that's fine.
Love,
SeaAnemone

1 – it’s ear candy to me
4 – only really took to their latest, that’ll please you
7 – Humans have obsessed over leaders, fame, celebrity, fads since day dot. Musically, still plenty of fapping over Elvis, Beatles, Led Zep, Floyd, Sabbath, Nirvana...Not gonna change.
9 – I like the Butterfly Effect but Imago is a bit meh. Other albums good |
