I award the reviewer.... BALLS OF THE MONTH... for reviewing and honestly appreciating this album. I liked it, wouldn't call it metal, but for you to do this knowing the likely reaction is extremely commendable.

Rock on.

--Dan

Thanks

It's really a great album and deserves recognition.

And besides, I thrive on controversy. I'm a polemical junkie.

All I heard was that song they did for Twilight, which isn't the most annoying thing in the world, but ultimately forgettable.

I don't understand the draw to this band at all.

i don't know man, i guess its the combination of the sweet female vocals, the harsh, vocals and breakdowns. But i've never been able to understand that combination. If it works it works i guess..it sucks though when they play their music at shows though haha

There are no harsh vocals on this album.

No-one would have heard of them if not for the fact the singer's cute, as well.

It's Dickinsonish wailing, true. But it's not really harsh.

hahaha
This is the type of band I'd expect to see on the Disney channel, along with the Jonas Bros.

I'm proud of the fact that I've never heard a single note of the Jonas Brothers, no matter how people may try to ambush me with them. Blissful ignorance; fuck that shit.

I remember watching TV in the US, and seeing one of the Jonas Brothers rush out to the front of the stage, right at the very start of their set.... and trip over. That's all I can remember about them.

It truly is a shame that the metal subculture has separated itself so vehemently from the mainstream music scene, or the “pop” scene, if you will. While it is understandable that a genre that prides itself in emphasizing technique rather than image would seek to distance itself from the part of the music industry where most value is placed on superficiality..

Isn't this the other way around?

How do you mean? Metal makes it a point to distance itself from mainstream music.

Does the mainstream ever make an attempt to go beyond metal bands such as Metallica, Disturbed, and Slipknot? I mean, once in a while, Rolling Stone will review Opeth, Bodom, or DEP. But ever since Flute Metal was rewarded back in 1989, the mainstream has reduced metal to a few old fogey bands that will die out soon.

How is this relevant? Mainstream music has to be commercially accessible. But just because something is commercially accessible doesn't mean it's automatically musically bad.

But there's commercial and there's commercial. The likes of Nightwish and Turisas are considered as being commercial in metal, but I've never seen either on MTV (thank fuck). But the likes of Paramore and Jonas brothers (who I've never heard either btw :wink:

) are commercial on the level of the likes of Simple Plan or McFly because their songs are very simple and have no problem being digested by the retarded masses.

Oh, and one time when I was in the gym, I couldn't believe it, on a rock chart on MTV2 there was none other than the video for fucking Oblivion by Mastodon. The same chart also featured Green Day in a higher position though :wacko:
