What bands do you like the idea of but not the actual product?

[bernie16wb]

I'll start, I really like the idea of Anal Cunt. Being absolutely vulgar and disgusting is appealing to me because I think that art can be found in vulgar or violent things (Just look at Jean Dubuffet or Cormac Mccarthy's Blood Meridian). The problem is that Anal Cunt sounds absolutely terrible and I don't think anyone can refute that. Although maybe they're just keeping up with the theme.

[Dymytry Vance]

I like the idea of nevershoutnever.... too bad it evolved to an actual project. Acoustic poppy and sweet is nice, but it's like eating candy, one's fine, but there's an amount that's too sweet, then it goes vulgar and you're vomiting. Add some edge nvrshoutnvr.

[murrich]

Coca-Cola.

northbrook. you can tell the songwriter is ambitious but man, do they suck.

I enjoy some Anal Cunt :shrug:

Forgive Durden when he did Razia' Shadow. The jig was up after about 6 songs.

[TheOtherAndrew]

Paul McCartney solo albums.

[chipdip18]

Paul McCartney solo albums.

Ah ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha aha! Love this guy.

[CTMarshall]

Glassjaw. Everyone hypes 'em up, but I just can't get into it.

[Genuma]

doesn't he have some god awful new band called the Firemen or something like that?

[briewer]

The Dirty Projectors on some of their older stuff. I really couldn't get that into anything before Rise Above.

[thespearkid]

animal collective.

oh, and no age.

[AUGK]

Paul McCartney solo albums.

hahahaha id agree bro =D

[theguy77]

Paul McCartney solo albums.

god, so true hahahaha

[TheOtherAndrew]

Band on the Run by Wings rocked the shit, but nothing else he's done post-Beatles has really grabbed my attention.

[SwiftSilentDead]

The Mars Volta for the most part.

[Hohbomb]

Forgive Durden when he did Razia' Shadow. The jig was up after about 6 songs.

I like it!

Came in to say this.

[jake13]

any covers band

[Akissforher]

hardcore/metalcore with electronica,
still waiting for some decent ones,
the only ones i can listen to over is sky eats airplane.

[Undue Noise]

I like them, but I can't seem to find Sigur Ros as amazing as other people seem to.

[the andyspecial]

Glassjaw. Everyone hypes 'em up, but I just can't get into it.

I understand. I love GlassJaw, but i can't get into radiohead or wilco. I have tons of respect, and i constantly try to understand the music, but whenever i listen to an album i want more than what they offer.

[bard]

i like the idea of the mars volta putting out good albums, but it hasn't happened since september 2006...

[Nourez]

Band on the Run by Wings rocked the shit, but nothing else he's done post-Beatles has really grabbed my attention.
Agreed.

[Nourez]

Angels and Airwaves as well. I was expecting something along the lines of Box Car Racer. Which I didn't get.

[DiscoDancer]

angels and airwaves are better tho and better than half of blinks stuff.

[Crowe41]

angels and airwaves are better tho and better than half of blinks stuff.

Angels and Airwaves, although a decent band, definitely fell short of the hype built up by Tom. Blink-182 kills AVA though. Not even a question.

[Crowe41]

I like the idea of Coheed and Cambria, it's ambitious to keep a story going over multiple albums...just couldn't get into them.

[AFSjulian]

I like them, but I can't seem to find Sigur Ros as amazing as other people seem to.

See them live and then you'll understand. Drugs are optional.

In general, I like the idea of positive hardcore or pop punk mixed with hardcore. I consider myself a positive, fun person and appreciate the energy these bands are bringing to music (and the stage, especially), but the only band of this style I can really get into is Four Year Strong.

[ablueskytragedy]

animal collective.

oh, and no age.

This.

[kbi the crowing]

hardcore/metalcore with electronica,

iwrestledabearonce isn't too bad but I would like to see some epic band in this genre

[Lemmi!]

swayze

[Broclee]

angels and airwaves are better tho and better than half of blinks stuff.
No.

[Cuddleworthy]

Monsters of Folk, judging based on that one song they've released so far.

[GeeBee]

Manchester Orchestra. I can't understand what the hell is so special.
Brand New. I've tried. I really have. I can't stand them.

[songydarko]

Manchester Orchestra. I can't understand what the hell is so special.
Brand New. I've tried. I really have. I can't stand them.
Agreed. Still trying even.

YEP!

[zachff]

northbrook. you can tell the songwriter is ambitious but man, do they suck.
Haha my home town is Northbrook (Illinois) and when I read that I thought I like the concept as well, but not the execution.

[zachff]

Say Anything. I love Bemis as a songwriter but I cannot fucking stand his voice. I just can't do it. Want to, but I can't.

[tonybanuelos88]

maybe attack attack! and i see stars?

[kbi the crowing]

maybe attack attack! and i see stars?

I used to like Attack Attack! but they really grew off me
I'll check out I See Stars though

[nerdvglc]

united nations. i love glassjaw and thursday, but UN did nothing for me.
go radio, the band by a former singer of mayday parade. his voice cannot carry a project on it's own, and everything gets redundant fast.

i agree with posts about nevershoutnever, animal collective, and forgive durden's razia's shadow. i tried SO HARD to like and/or love Razia's Shadow, but couldn't do it. i like a couple songs, but that's it.

[chipdip18]

Monsters of Folk, judging based on that one song they've released so far.

So true.

[thespearkid]

UPDATE: Literally five minutes after I posted this, my friend started playing some of Animal Collective's early stuff. It's amazing haha.

Possibly my favourite ever post.

[iheartmusic043]

I See Stars is the only hardcore/electonic band I loke. Theyr're pretty good.

Manchester Orchestra. I can't understand what the hell is so special.
Brand New. I've tried. I really have. I can't stand them.

I only like a couple MO and Brand New songs. Other than that, they're boring. I still think Brand New's best song is Sic Transit Gloria.

[xJesusFreakx]

Angels & Airwaves. Excellent band name, and I like the idea of trying to incorporate film and the internet into the band. What looked like a great band on paper just didn't work (at least thus far, and I doubt they'll get much better).

[taylerx0]

I'll go with Razia's Shadow. It wasn't a bad album, but I think it could have been executed a lot better.

[Bi11 Lumburgh]

I like the idea of Coheed and Cambria, it's ambitious to keep a story going over multiple albums...just couldn't get into them.

judging from the bands you've listed in your profile, it doesn't surprise me, not saying you have bad taste, just appears your more into punk/pop punk/hardcore, just generally fast music, coheed is basically straight rock, you may like there first album Second stage turbine blade, but one of the reasons they are one of my all time favs is because of there ability to mature and grow as musicians

[Bi11 Lumburgh]

isles and glaciers too

I could do without the PTV singer, but personally, IMO, anything with jonny craig is golden, and craig owens fits in nicely in the music, I'm pumped for the actual EP to come out so I can stop rockin the demos

[Bi11 Lumburgh]

United Nations is god-fucking-awful, I don't understand how anybody enjoys that

don't get me wrong i think the demos are good, i just think they could do so much better you know

Are you joking?
Shit, I really, really loved that album!

(I really hope Chirs makes a big difference on the prequel record)

[kbi the crowing]

& this too haha

[kbi the crowing]

maybe attack attack! and i see stars?

i wish they both had a more metal influence
like My Bitter End with synths and drum machines
thats what I want haha

[Mochem]

The Black Noise Party Boys. Rock/metal, all about partying. And yelling. Unfortunately every song sounds the same to me, and it's just not that good.

[relaxrelapse830]

I'll go with Razia's Shadow. It wasn't a bad album, but I think it could have been executed a lot better.

This. I liked the album, but the lyrics could have been way better. Some lines make me cringe.

[DiscoDancer]

AVA is amazing. end of story.

[coolwithme19]

Say Anything. I love Bemis as a songwriter but I cannot fucking stand his voice. I just can't do it. Want to, but I can't.
say anything is one of my favorites, and i love max's voice. but i definitly see where your coming from so many of my friends say the same exact thing haha

[kemichels]

Agreed. Still trying even.


hrrrrrmmm...minus the fact the fact every song I've played for you, you've enjoyed so far...;). At The Bottom...You Won't Know...Degausser...
