| Bands I don’t get
I was looking at acclaimed bands from this website, whom I just can’t get any, or little enjoyment out of. Maybe you can help me see the light.
These were just on top of my head. Might add some more. | | 1 |  | Counterparts
Nothing Left to Love
Honestly, every song sounds the same. Couldn’t finish their album Nothing Left to Love because of the “repetition”. The lyrics are depressing as fuck, which I actually don’t mind, and the vocals are also really hard hitting. Cleary Brendan has some talent. I really enjoy his other band called END with Will Putney and a whole heap load of other well-known musicians. | | 2 |  | Daughters
You Won't Get What You Want
This band just make me uncomfortable. I know that’s on purpose, but I don’t see the point in listening to this type of music. Also, I’ve seen a live performance of them from a few years back when they still were a mathcore/grindcore band, where the frontman, Alexis Marshall, performed with his pants down and con-tinually tried to wrap his dick around the mic stand, which didn’t help their reputation in my eyes. I mean, Alexis generally seems like an awful human being, so maybe not liking them is the right move. | | 3 |  | Thursday
Full Collapse
With this band, I can break it down to pretty much one thing. Geoff Rickly. I really don’t like his voice, which is a shame considering there some real bangers on Full Collapse. It gives me pop punk vibes and that’s a genre I’ve grown out of ten years ago. Honestly, I’ve nothing against him, but he also ruined a song on the Vein.fm album This World Is going to Ruin You. It was just at complete odds with the rest of the song/album. Granted, it isn’t just his fault. | | 4 |  | Alexisonfire
Otherness
This one is a little bit different. I remember hearing the song This Could Be Anywhere in the World and being instantly hooked. But then time past and I forgot about it only to rediscover it years later, and me being older and more invested in music, took a deep dive in their discography. What I realised was, that half the bands music is pretty boring. I really like the songs with proper aggression and speed. The others, not so much. Their new album also didn’t change my opinion, if not the opposite. | | 5 |  | Misery Signals
Of Malice and the Magnum Heart
I normally really enjoy Metalcore. Poison the Well being one example of a band who operates in a similar vein as Misery Signals. But while I like Poison the Well quite a lot, I don’t find myself liking Misery Signals. Just a little bit to stale and repetitive for me. Mind you, I've only listened to Of Malice and the Magnum Heart and Controller. | | 6 |  | Trophy Scars
Darkness, Oh Hell
Going into a completely different direction. This stuff is just way to out there. I mean, it’s commendable that they have such a unique sound, but I’m not a fan of the blues influences and the general experimentation. | |

07.22.22 | Feel you on all of these except 6 | IsisScript80
07.22.22 | "With this band, I can break it down to pretty much one thing. Geoff Rickly. I really don’t like his voice, which is a shame considering there some real bangers on Full Collapse."
I really agree with this. I think Thursday and the songs are great, but I too find his voice a barrier to entry to this day. | TheSpirit
07.22.22 | well, get them! hope this helps,
-thespirit | Veldin
07.22.22 | Trophy Scars is best tofu scabs.
wrapping your dick around a mic stand makes you an awful person? | TheSpirit
07.22.22 | if you have to ask, you should be on a watchlist | MarsKid
07.22.22 | 1 will get you some serious hate but tbh you're not that wrong though
6 is amazing and you gotta strap on your bigboy pants and embrace the drunken Tom Waits gravelsratching grrrs etc | SmokingHead
07.22.22 | TheSpirit that's it! Thank you, very helpful indeed.
Veldin look him up. There is a lot more to this guy :/
Mars Kid maybe I should listen to it tonight after I get home from my binger. | SmurkinGherkin
07.22.22 | Hard agree on 1 and 5 | Shemson
07.22.22 | Counterparts are great but END is better, I do agree with that
Also agree with all the rest tbh
I also remember hearing that Alexisonfire song and thinking they’d be my new favourite band but yeah the rest of the stuff just didn’t hit | Snake.
07.22.22 | agree on 6
jerry jones is like the jerry jones of bad vocals | MrGlass
07.22.22 | agreed with 1 and 2 | pjquinones747
07.22.22 | Alexis Marshall is also a confirmed abuser if that isn't already old news to ya. I never got into their music to begin with. | pjquinones747
07.22.22 | Funny enough 1 calls themselves clones of 5 and really both of them are just diet poison the well anyways | Relinquished
07.22.22 | lol how is 5 repetitive outside like 1 song | autosacrifice
07.22.22 | Counterparts and old Misery Signals (pre-2013) are peak metalcore to me. i could listen to the same-ish Counterparts songs for eternity lmao | MarsKid
07.22.22 | Spoken like someone that has yet to check Zapruder
| DadKungFu
07.22.22 | Didn't realize it was Brendan in END because that band rips and Counterparts just isn't memorable at all to me | pizzamachine
07.22.22 | I can understand 6 | sonictheplumber
07.22.22 | all a bunch of crap | LouBreed
07.22.22 | I'm with you on Counterparts. It's a shame actually because the lyrics are consistently great. | CugnoBrasso
07.22.22 | 2 is one of my favorite albums ever, other than that we can agree. | Josh D.
07.22.22 | Unfortunately for you, Darkness, Oh Hell has "Trazodone" on it, which is an absolute jam. | sonictheplumber
07.23.22 | all a bunch of steamy crap | BAT
07.23.22 | grindcore era of daughters was interesting aswell as marshalls prior band 'as the sun sets' buuut yeah he kinda comes off as a scumbag manipulator. later daughters has some solid industrialish beats but he stopped screaming and started mimicking jesus lizard and helmet :/ . rest of these i never really got into, i found full collapse at a thrift store and it's solid buuut definitely overrated, i've heard theyre good live but eh i've continued to sleep on them for these past two decades | onionbubs
07.23.22 | daughters lame other bands rule | AffableMartyr
07.23.22 | 6 is one of my favorite bands, I didn't love them at first but got used to the vocals over time | CugnoBrasso
07.23.22 | I like YWGWYG a lot better than any other record of theirs. The fact that Alexis Marshall is a fucking piece of shit hit extra hard for me. |
