I gotta agree on most accounts. I can't see why everyone is up in arms over the bled and over it, but acceptance is okay. I think story of the year is actually UNDERRATED, but matchbook romance still isnt all that good, even the new stuff.

[siMpleEmOgiRl]

I don't get the fuss over the new Dashboard! WTF! Who cares? He's still all pathetically emo. So what's the problem?

I highly recommend Moneen and anything by Saves the Day.

I also don't get the Vendetta Red fuss. They're alright. Not grand or the best or anything. But alright. So why do people get so pissed off when someone says they LOVE vendetta red? Isn't this a place for musical diversity?
:mad:

[Clarett'sGreyGoose]

I Just Don't Understand The Fuss For:
1). TAKING BACK SUNDAY
2). Yellowcard(catchy, but nothing special)
3). The Bled
4). Saosin

[takingthursday]

Moneen and Armor For Sleep deserve a lot more hype. Those are two amazing bands. I think Saosin and Matchbook Romance are amazing too, but I could see how someone could dislike both. Northstar is also really good and deserves a lot more attention.

I'm not going to say Brand New because they're getting so much hype right now (don't get me wrong...it's well deserved), but I am still going to say Thrice still hasn't received everything they deserve.

I'd also have to agree with the Vendetta Red statement. I loved "Shatterday" and picked up the album, but I wasn't as impressed as I thought I'd be. I mean the album is solid and has some awesome tracks, but nothing to make me sit in awe. It was just a nice album, but nothing spectacular.

Agreed there. Taking back sunday deserves everything they get, as does yellowcard. However the same issue above is with yellowcard, they have the hype already. Someone hype up blueskymile!

It's so hard for me to understand how ppl can't like Taking Back Sunday and/or A Static Lullaby. I think My Chemical Romance is amazing, but I can see how someone wouldn't be able to get into them.

Anyway. Dashboard is a fine act with incredible lyrics. Listen to Best Deceptions or Hands Down and tell me those aren't awesome lyrics. Hands Down changed my view on him completely, hell the entire unplugged album did. So shut up. As for the hype crap:

Doest Deserve:
Vendetta Red (nothing groundbreaking, just good live)
Yellowcard (new album was good, one for the kids was way better)
Thrice (actually I don't really know a lot about this band, whats a good song?)

Deserves:
Brand New (if not just for The Boy Who Blocked His Own Shot)
the new blink (judging by Action, this album is gonna kick ass)
FM Static (easily the catchiest band EVER)
Fall Out BOy

Whoa, dude you just took a major dive in my eyes. Brand New deserves every bit of hype they get. But if its not your style its cool.

[Justin_stacy]

"recommendations"
1. Avenged Sevenfold!!!!!!!
2. From Autumn to Ashes.
3. The Stereo's.
4. Spitalfield.
5. Waterdown (and maybe Silverstein).
6. Rocking horse winner (rip).

"Dont understand the hype"
1. Yellow Card.....a drive thru band with a violin. how is that original?
2. Vendetta Red.
3. Blink 182.
4. Juliana theory.......love is the worst album i've ever bought......
5. Brand New......Great album, maybe one of the top ten of the year, but most people on this site act like its the greatest thing ever made........which it is not.

[suckerpunch_]

brandnew doesnt deserve all the fussin they get, that cd isnt that good, i dont understnad why everyone freeks out about it, i baught it its not good, but oh well

[Greg]

Overrated
-Yellowcard-i bought it. it basically sucks. only 3 good songs.

i cnat think of any underrated...

[takingthursday]

As posted earlier and I forgot to mention:

Silverstein needs some more hype and attention. Their album "Broken Is Easily Fixed" is awesome and I also wanna hype up Glasseater. I can't wait for their album on Aug. 26th.

Yeah dude, I mean, that's just my opinion. I just really don't see all the fuss over the brand new cd. I mean sure, the lyrics are amazing, but to me, they're just another band. I don't see anything special besides their lyrics.

buy understand this is a dream by the juliana theory. Love is the worst album they have. Also i totally agree with you on brand new. I love those guys and they will always be one of my fav, but we dont need 80 million brand new threads....and its not the greatest album. Abbey road is.

i totally agree with u about brand new

[neb nawoc]

I think that Taking Back Sunday deserves all they get and more.

Brand New is awesome, but even so I think they get a little to much love and attention.

Blink 182 kicks ass i dont care what anyone says, and I think they get way to much shit talked about them.

Recommendations:
1). The Mars Volta

3). The Rocket Summer
4). S.T.U.N.

I Just Don't Understand The Fuss For:

2). Matchbook Romance (the vocals... are AWFUL)
3). Armor for Sleep (all the buzz... for that
4). Vendetta Red (I like them, but they aren't anything amazing)

well i dont think they're relaly overhyped. no one ever talks about them except for you. but whatever...

[depthsofdreams]

About Story of the Year...aren't their songs written by the Goldfinger guy, just like The Used? If so...lame.

My recommendations:
Armor for Sleep (so. damn. good)
Letterkills (Temecula, represent lol or Murrieta, whatever)
Mae (prettiest music)

Too much attention:
The Juliana Theory (they're so boring)
Sugarcult (total shit)
The Beautiful Mistake (so bad)
Yellowcard (they're okay, but not that good)

[takingthursday]

Ummm....Feldman from Goldfinger just produced The Used. He didn't write their songs. They already had all of those songs written and on a demo...he just took them in the studio and recorded them and came up with ideas for effects (i.e., dildo on the pick ups). Story of the Year + The Used = KICK ARSE!!!

[DaneTheTrain]

Recomendations

1. Matchbook Romance (Best band of 03', nuf said)
2. Senses Fail (So theyre Drive-Thru, they still kick ass)
3. The Rocket Summer (Some of the best vocals around)
4. Letter Kills (Rocked the warped tour)
5. Armor For Sleep

Over-rated

1. Brand New (The new albums good, but not THAT GOOD)
2. Yellowcard (Where was all the hype when they released thier good stuff)
3. Taking Back Sunday (With the missing members of the band, they will never sound the same)
4. The Used
5. The Ataris (Theyre on the new NOW cd, talk about the apitomy of selling out)

i have all there albums, which is why i still bought "love" even after all the bad reviews and samplers.........but i still feel that every band deserves one bad release......so i'll still probably give there next album a chance, even though i bet EPIC won't....

haha oh.:p

[wewin]

RECOMMEND
1. Blood Brothers=goodest ever
2. Black Eyes (crazy dancey shit: 2 basses, guitar, 2 drums, five vocalists...only five people.)
3. Cursive (I've only heard Ugly Organ. The cello makes this band sound really epic.)
4. Converge (Better than every other metalcore band. That means ETID, Poison the Well, all of them.)
5. Saetia (Good screamo, and yes, I mean SCREAMO. broke up already. the lyrics are really good and mostly not cliched shit. Crazy screaming voice, urgent speaking/singing voice, interesting rhythm section)
6. Hot Cross (ex-Saetia. VERY good rhythm section, cool guitar, but not over the top. Good solid weird songs.)
7. Shellac (They say they're a hard rock band. I don't care. They've got Steve Albini and some really interesting riffs going on. Repetitive like Big Black was repetitive. Check them out, they've been around awhile.)
8. Orchid (THE screamo band. Broke up.)
9. Dillinger Four (kudos to the other guy that mentioned them. The ONLY good pop-punk band.)

DO NOT LIKE
1. Yellowcard - they sound like good charlotte with bad violin to me.
2. A Static Lullaby - "dumbed down" screamo. this style has been done by better bands. Lyrics are a joke. Musically boring, but good for some light listening.
3. Boys Night Out - I checked out the EP. I like the first song, the rest just seem really bad. The singer's scream is dumb and makes everything sound the same.
4. Taking Back Sunday - Shitty pop-punk with two vocalists, is all. Lyrics aren't anything special, music isn't anything special. Grates on my nerves. All these pop punk singers sound the same to me.
5. Brand New - Brand New's first album wasn't great, but it was fun. The new one has so much melodramatic posturing that I laugh when I hear it. And it's got really bad guitar going on. When I hear that "DIE YOUNG AND SAVE YOURSELF" scream at the end of Sic Transit Gloria, i wince from the badness of it all.
6. Story of the Year - Don't they also go by "THE USED"?
7. From Autumn To Ashes - "metalcore"? more like...dumbcore.
BAD BAD BAD the WORST LYRICS EVER, shitty singing voice, FUCKING RETARDED riffs and song structures. This is one of the worst bands I've ever heard, and I've even heard the Village People.


How could ANYONE like Blink 182? I mean, I guess they play those three chords pretty well, but...

[kevin]

Nice choices, Wewin.

Black Eyes, Cursive and The Blood Brothers are a must.

I totally agree with you about blink. Action is sooooooooooooooooooooooooo good, I have been listening to it non-stop I absolutely cant wait for the new album.

How about a new question: band that lived up to all the hype:

Less Than Jake with anthem. Absolutely amazing and original sounding album which is quite the accomplishment since they've been around for 10+ years! Go LTJ!

[wewin]

maybeoneday, you're retarded.

thank you for outlining which words aren't actually words. i know. thank you also for sticking to your trademark "blink rulez" attitude: blink does not, in fact, "own" me. they "own" a generic style and dumb songs. they "own" the hearts of teenage girls. they "own" your brain. they do not "own" me,

3. dumbed, is yet again, not a word

learn how to use commas and i'll take your grammatical advice seriously.

here, i'll teach you. remove the phrase contained by the commas and see if your sentence makes sense.

"dumbed not a word". does that make sense? if you answered "no", then you're right. guess what you are if you answered "yes".

write it like this.

"dumbed is, yet again, not a word." check it, remove phrase in commas: "dumbed is not a word." make sense? you betcha.

we can write now! yay!

[takingthursday]

Man....I can't get over how some ppl don't like Taking Back Sunday. They are far from pop-punk with two vocalist, but to each his own. I just think they have some of great music and I just love seeing them live...I just have such a fun time. Their harmonies, duel vocals, and timing of everything falls together perfectly.

I don't get the hype over these bands, though:

Mae
MxPx
NOFX
Less Than Jake

Mae has one good song ("Summertime"), but "Destination:Beautiful" was one of the most disappointing albums I have ever bought (right along with "Love" by The Juliana Theory). And I just never have liked anything by the three (3) other bands. I guess I just can't get into them. That genre/style really isn't for me I guess.

Also, add:

RX Bandits
Allister
Home Grown
Steel Train

I can't stand those bands either.

And I did go back and listen to the Silverstein album and that is kind of disappointing. I'm not too impressed with it and there are only two (2) good songs on it. Glasseater is really good, though.

3) Nofx - It's NoFx. 'Nough said.
4) Less Than Jake - Again, 'nough said.
5) Rx Bandits - These guys are the most original and technical bands ever.

As for the others, well I like Allister, Home Grown is pretty crappy, and Steel Train just licks balls.

It's Nofx, enough said? What the hell does that mean. They are extremely overrated, horrible lyric/song writers, and have the worst perceptions of our government.

Damn, I really hate Fat Mike and Nofx.

Not Enough --
