Albums destined to fail
It has the bad half of Mudvayne producing

^^ ha ha so true on "the bad half"

i thought the title meant they were disbanding

lol @ "nu metal" + "acoustic ep"

why would any nu metal band want to tarnish their sound with a sappy, crappy acoustic album...

^ This. Korn showed the world that an acoustic numetal album is a pretty bad idea

Same. I thought this was going to say...Nonpoint break up.

Yeah me too. I'll throw in Statement every once in awhile or listen to a track or two off of To The Pain or Recoil...but I'm pretty indifferent to Nonpoint these days.

Ill Nino #2.

yeah...i was so happy upon seeing the news title.
until reading the article.
though bullet with a name was pretty catchy.

Albums destined to fail

Win.

Same. I thought this was going to say...Nonpoint break up.

I wish this was true.

their last album was godawful... but their previous albums i used to love. i hope they get back to the progress they made on To The Pain

yep, i posted this to give everyone a warning, even though who honestly listens to Nonpoint these days? apparently me

"Same. I thought this was going to say...Nonpoint break up."

"I wish this was true"

thats about the stupidest fucking thing i've heard on this site

Big call. I've heard that said about 100 times before. Poor Wiz.

LOL I was hoping for a break-up announcement to which I would have replied "the band's name speaks for itself"

i thought the title meant they were breaking up

Ill Nino #2.

Same. I thought this was going to say...Nonpoint break up.

I wish this was true.

^^^^
this this this

Okay, sorry, they didn't emulate Ill Nino's sound at all. Sorry for your feelings.

1) they were around before ill Nino were
2) they are better than Ill nino are/do the latin influenced nu/alt metal better than Ill Nino do
3) they have only 1 bad album
4) better live

there's four valid reasons why Nonpoint > Ill Nino. And no, they didn't emulate Ill Nino's sound.

Alright, I was waiting for something like that as a response. I am actually an Ill Nino and Nonpoint fan, I have all their albums, matter of fact. It's not like I'm not educated in nu-metal since that's what I grew up on and progressed further into the weird crap I like now. If you really know Ill Nino and Nonpoint you will realize that after a few successful albums of Ill Nino, Nonpoint changed.

Point 2 and 3 are both the same in this argument, so let's eliminate them because they're opinions. I can't comment on 4 because I haven't seen either live, although I would love too. I was pissed when I missed Ill Nino + Static-X.

Seriously, I like all the bands you like, It's not an outright bash on Nonpoint at all, Just saying.... They're Ill Nino #2. If you can't put past that they seen Ill Nino's success and they wanted to be like them, then I can't argue any further.

If you really know Ill Nino and Nonpoint you will realize that after a few successful albums of Ill Nino, Nonpoint changed.

But both aren't that great lol

I'm really diggin' Nonpoint. Like REALLY diggin'. Ill Nino's pretty good too, but I'll take Nonpoint over them any day of the week.

Just tryna get a rise out of ya styles, they're all good. Even though Ill Nino's been on a steady decline since their second album

I agree with that statement. One Nation Underground is good but not all that special. The new one I didn't really dig. I have high hopes for this new Nonpoint record though. Vengeance was pretty weak (compared to other Nonpoint records, I still pop it in every once in a while), but the guys have understood that themselves (I think), and from their studio updates and such it seems the new album might just slay. Like really.

As long as they avoid any Hellyeah influences that is

If this will turn out to be like Hellyeah I'm gonna cry

I'd keep the tissues handy man, not only is one of the members in Hellyeah look who's producing

yeah well, I have enough faith in Nonpoint. I believe they can pull it off. But fuck Hellyeah. Fuck That Project!

I saw a review on this from another site a couple of days ago; I think it got a 3 out of 5.

you mean the acoustic album or what? I'm sure the acoustic one will be boring. I'm hoping the new LP will slay

Yeah my bad. It was the acoustic one.

their acoustic songs aren't too bad, i thought the acoustic version of Past It All was decent... but of course, their metaller stuff is betterer

This is semi-interesting, probably won't bother though. Gotta thank Styles for re-introducing these guys to me.

Past it all is a great song.

I'm sad about the reactions here. Clearly, you have not even listened to them Wizard or are just ignorant. The band is the best you can get in NU-metal genre nowadays, i even prefer them to Mudvayne. The acoustic album got 4/5 rating here http://frantikmag.com/blog/2009/11/25/cd-review-nonpoint/ . It will be available only on the internet. But what interests me more is the full lenght album they release in Spring 2010, it's gonna be awesome.

The band is the best you can get in NU-metal genre nowadays,

I'm pretty sure getting Wizard to listen to some nu-metal these days would be like keeping a dog in a bath (sexual reference).

The only nu-metal I'll be checking out is probably the new Spineshank album, As well as Fear Factory, but they're not really nu-metal... just have hints of it.

I stopped after Recoil.

DUDE, calling me ignorant and saying retarded things like this will only make me prove you so wrong.

Do it wiz, i'm bored

Do it wiz, i'm bored

I won't waste my time unless he replies. Does he even know I own the best nu-metal list on this site? HAHAHAHAHA

clearly a mistake there Karl ;)
As for Wizard being ignorant, you guys should look at his ratings or comments or stuff like that because he is possibly the only person on earth with elite music taste who still likes some nu metal


I wouldn't say my music tastes are elite, I'm just not one of the many users on this site who seem to regress with their elite findings.

Does he even know I own the best nu-metal list on this site?

1.Nonpoint isnt even clsoe to Ill Nino

2.LOL elite tastes in music. I mean, I've run jokes through that on several occasions but people mistake mysense of humor for seriousness. Unfortunately, people take just about everything I say seriously, which couldn't be further from the truth.

3.Wizard wins STFU. It's not like he doesnt make best of nu-metal lists or anything.o.wait

Wizard wins STFU

@Balls. Your first point is quite hilarious.

Powerban, all of your points are pointless.

2.LOL elite tastes in music. I mean, I've run jokes through that on several occasions but people mistake mysense of humor for seriousness. Unfortunately, people take just about everything I say seriously, which couldn't be further from the truth.

This is why I love your huge muscles.

All points are pointless on this site. Duh.

Not when you're Balls, Styles, or myself ; ). And I apologize for being a bit of a dick when I should just let things slide.

No problem. I wasn't really offended. I'll admit I've been around this site for about 5 years (2.5 actually registered) and you, balls and styles do know what you're saying most of the time.

I actually remember when Balls and Styles weren't really accepted here with their views, but those days are mostly gone now.

That was defintiely 2007 with an early to mid point of 2008. And for good reason. What I meant to say was, Nonpoint's music was never overbearingly Latin or had lyrics as angsty or juvenile as Ill Nino. Dont get me wrong, i love old Nino but they suck now.

I actually remember when Balls and Styles weren't really accepted here with their views, but those days are mostly gone now.

Styles still isn't accepted around here because he's from Estonia ; ).

har har har Karl

@Styles It was more like I seen a lot of comments of people not liking that you liked so much nu-metal, lol.

@Balls I agree with Ill Nino sucking now, But I'm still not sure if it's because I grew out of them or because they left Roadrunner and went to shit. Not that I'm defending Roadrunner at all, those guys are pricks.

Estonia's redeeming point is having acool ass flag.

@Styles It was more like I seen a lot of comments of people not liking that you liked so much nu-metal, lol.

Estonia's redeeming point is having acool ass flag.

That entire exchange made my last 10 minutes great.

I hope this is a joke...laughs at it.
