They were fun as hell live when I saw them open for The Chariot but that was also back in 2011 and they were actually writing solid stuff. This is pretty shit though! I like their drummer and his podcast a lot but man, please drum for a different band at this point

I found they were a better live band compared to their studio material, imo.

When I saw them I honestly had no idea who they were. They were just super fun live and I bought Make Your Own History at the show for only 5 bucks.

Listened to Make Your Own History in high school a lot. Damien was always a banger, but the riffs are worse these days. They were never that crazy though, just fun.

MYOH is pretty good but it gets a little repetitive after awhile. Can't say I ever listened to Rising Sun really. I might have to give it a spin. Craig definitely transformed this band though and gave them alot more room to be creative.

Man, you guys are seriously fucking losers. For real. Your comments don't offend me or hurt my feelings, it's just annoying...like a gnat. Some of you treat this like Twitter, just looking for a reason to go at someone at the drop of a keystroke. Nah you can't react to the song or anything, you gotta make irritating comments totally unrelated to the topic. I bet you're like this in real life too, just annoying ass people who can't carry a conversation like an adult. You're THAT guy that when you come around wanting so desperately for someone to talk to you, people just groan inside and can't wait till they have an excuse to go somewhere you aren't. Take your little "oh I got him to respond" win that you so desperately wanted. Hell, I'll even send you a "coolest Sputnik person" award that you can put on your fridge.

"if Mantis approves, you know it rips m/"

how is this a negative comment exactly? If anything, mocking or not, this is very little of a tease. The other one I can understand being upsetting though. For me though, I was mainly commenting on the music itself earlier. Wish this band would stop making such cringy music and go back to their Make Your Own History stuff, not this RATM wannabe crap.

He did give a poor example, but his point is still valid. There are way too many elite music fucks on here. Countless times I've seen "lol look at the percentage of genre X on his profile" as a way to denegrate a user and make their opinion null. That shit is lame. Granted it is just the internet so at the end of the day it doesn't mean shit, but alot of people like having conversations about music whereas they may not have people they work with or otherwise that give a fuck about it. Alot of times too, users with over 5k+ comments feel they have the moral and musical superiority. I guarantee those same people are on reddit and are just irritating with every comment they post. Just constant shit posting.

Fear you can have an opinion. In fact, I thought PART of your original and follow-up comment talking about seeing them live was interesting. I dislike when comments like yours, and others here, are dismissive, unconstructive, and even less valuable than the music your level that same criticism at.

Anyway, I'm not investing my time in this this nonsense any longer. I'm going to go back to lurking. Have fun wallowing in the sputnik comment cesspit where you all belong.

I'm allowed to be dismissive, it's not a good song in my opinion and to many others. Constructive? This isn't a review and nor is the band going to read these comments. I've seen your comments in the past saying stuff like great song or whatever in other threads, how is that any better or valuable? I've noticed you and people like Mantis just can't take whenever someone dislikes something you like. It's not a comment cesspool, you just take it way too seriously. Take a chill pill

What? I could give two literal fucks if you like the song. I don't care. I don't care if you don't like what I listen to. I'm not sure where you got that out of what I said. I never shit on your personal opinion of the song. My point is the elitist fucks who just say stupid shit that devolves conversations into well, this. I could have said nothing sure and maybe we wouldn't be here, but what came first the chicken or the egg? In fact, I made a tongue in cheek comment on the Euthanasia review that someone went out their way track down in order to throw ad hominems at me on a totally unrelated thread. A comment that was made TWO years ago. It was absurd. That's the shit I'm talking about. Look we all know that if politics ever pop up in a conversation on here, if you're anything close to a "conservative" people go at you with the same old rhetoric (ie Nazi, transphobic etc) instead of arguing on merits. That shit just makes people not even want to have an opinion not out of fear over someone saying "mean" things, just because they want to have an adult conversation that doesn't get reduced to ad hominem attacks. Yes I used it twice, I like that word and just learned how to spell it today.

Nah, it's just that I truly... TRULY think that there are users on here where this is their life. It's the same on Reddit. They think this is what they were born for... To make comments on a music website. It's their purpose and they have to control the room otherwise they feel they are losing their purpose. You guys all know who you are. It's not even those necessarily with thousands of comments, I mean this site has been active since what 2006? Also Johnny, maybe me a big numetal dummy but I read your comment over and over...

You can be two things at once. I don't care what you have to say and have an opinion on what it is you're saying. It doesn't AFFECT me personally. It just drags down conversation, shit posting. I don't get offended by anything you say, you can think that all you want. I. Don't. Care.

But I will comment on it. When have I ever made a statement of "but you said this thing about me" other than just as a reference? It's never out of being "offended" Never, I always comment relative to the argument, discussion or whatever. Have I defended my position or pushed back, yes but always based on the merits of the conversation. I've never introduced strawman arguments into the discussion.

Drifter, what is your opinion of the song though? You like the main riff? I do. I think Craig is phenomenal as usual and Will Putney always make the band sound super tight and I love how he brings the bass into the mix.

Don't you compare me to Internet Comment Police. If they were here we'd all be in FEMA camps within the fortnight. I've seen it happen. My friend Derek once posted a google review on the Burger King down on Hudson St. All he said was that there was a secret tunnel under the bathroom urinal that led to some rat kingdom and that it should be checked out. Ya know, just to make sure they weren't planning a coup or anything. He even gave a 4 star review because they had the biggest "whooper" he'd ever seen which was weird because he was a vegan. Didn't matter. Next day, BAM; deported. ICP got him. That was 7 years ago. Last I heard he was selling toenail art on the beaches of Constanta. I miss him every day. I'll never forgive the ICP for this. Especially because the Burger King closed like 3 months later and became a Risk E Rat's.

Anyway here's a rocket ship (_)(_)::::::::::D
