Don't get me wrong, I love Cobra for what they are. Fun, dancey music. I have the CD, I listen to it, I enjoy their shows. However, they will never, ever come close to touching what Midtown was and still is.

it sounded a lot more original before the genre became as overcrowded as it did today.
It still holds up in terms of sincerity and overall "feel good" appeal.
If there's anything I hate about post-Fall Out Boy pop-punk, it's the staggering sense of shallow overconfidence and the "I'm very hip and clever, falling in love is soooooo dramatic. watch me sing about it because I'm the king/queen of swing".
Midtown is, for the most part, honest pop-punk that seems to have at least some sort of sentimental value to it.
Oh yeah, and Forget What You Know was dark or something (dunno where they took that lyrical turn.)

Exactly. It's not the pop punk that bitches about the same relationship bullshit over and over again. Their lyrics are simple and honest, they don't try to fuck around and beat around the bush to come up with the most clever way to say one thing.

i dont get all elitist all the time, because normally i dont care about personal tastes.
but midtown is what got me into this wide genre of music. so they have a special place in my heart right next to the ataris.
oh, and Cobra has that awful Hollaback Boy song. it actually supplanted My Humps as the worst thing ive ever heard.
and it is true, midtown had time on its side. today its just another power pop band, but back then...it was something else. and thats why so many of us "old timers" have such a love for it.
hell, AP selected it as the best album of 2002.

how you pull your lame remark from the fact that AP selected it as the best of 02 only shows how much of a noob you are.
never said it was better than blink or green day, or mxpx or saves the day or any other pop punk band. it was just the best release of 02 as far as tate and the staff were concerned.

We all have VERY different personal tastes in music. Just because I hate Midtown and love Cobra Starship doesn't mean I've "hit my head" or any shit.
And, you know - you're right. You caught me. I'm a mall-core kid who hangs around Hot Topic and comes home to jack-off to Criss Angel while some bitch chokes me. Yep. You all know me so well.
No one revolutionizes music. They may help found a scene, but no one changes music as we know it. Every one since the beg. of time has simply taken the ideas of others and expounded upon them. But, some people do take their art to another level and create something amazing. Midtown was not one of those bands. Is Cobra Starship? Probably not. But they're still better than Midtown is every way humanly possible.

are you serious? there are sooooooo many people on here that have more posts on here and how can you sat dredg is a mind-fuck? that band is so talented that cobra starship isnt even in the same league....im sorry that i like third eye blind and dredg? its called being open-minded and listening to a wide variety of musis...something you probably know nothing about

On a serious note, I never have thought much of either of them. Midtown might have helped push the New Found Glory/Drive-Thru days, but I always thought their albums were poorly produced and hard to get through.
I enjoyed Bring It as much as everyone when they first heard it, but thought the whole album was a little forced.

On certain days, terminal cancer would be better than reading this shit. Hate to be a dick, but as a college graduate in music from what could be the best school in the southeast, it's hard for me to accept the argument that "midtown is just good." Every great band's songs can be dissected and studied to see unique and original ideas that make their songs memorable. Even fucking Damien Rice uses borrowed chords, and different inversions of chords to add flavor.
Playing I-IV-V-iv-V-I does not make you awesome. It makes you Midtown.

Hmmm... I like both bands a lot, but when it comes down to it, Cobra Starship seem to be a band that got quick success from Snakes On A Plane, so with that being said, Midtown didn't have a gimmick to go off of, and had to build a fanbase without the help of a movie. I think that comparing the two bands isn't a fair comparison, because Cobra Starship only has one album. Once they release another album, I think it will be more of a fair comparison, but until then, I'm sticking with Midtown.

i hate Cobra Starship
I hate its genre in general
nothing will change my mind
wow, so much for open mindedness. :-) I'm not going to lie, I enjoyed the first cd a bit, but this new cd makes me rethink them as a band in general.

you couldnt be more wrong
Yes. And?
10/22/07, 02:32 PM
Don't care much for Midtown, but Cobra blows.
I'll let people bump this thread as much as they want if you can give me one correct way that CS is better than Midtown.
Don't care much for Midtown, but Cobra blows.Exactly what I should expect from you. What bands DO you like?
Yes. And?
10/22/07, 02:43 PM
The bands in my profile and more?
It's "Smashing Pumpkins" and there are hardly any there.
Yes. And?
10/22/07, 02:50 PM
I know. Which is why I don't capitalize the "the". I need to have the word "the" there, I just do.
And yeah, there isn't a lot there because I don't believe in putting every fucking band I've ever heard in there.
In fact, I have a few bands who don't even count as favorites when I really think about it.

for someone who spends so much time on these forums you really dont listen to a wide enough range of music.

List off some more bands you listen to, then.

From someone who says Brand New has the best lyrics of any band, I'll over look this.
^true.
Who are you?
It's not necessary, though.

That's why I pretty much said it is a personal preference.
No.
And it's not personal preference if it's not said by the band. Their albums clearly say "Smashing Pumpkins".

if everyone was ignorant enough to play by these rules no one would listen to you. you've said much more in defense of my chemical romance, and whenever you say something bad about a band its not worth that much because you're cynical about nearly all bands.

ok, so last week im hanging around arlenes grocery not long after cobra starship played their cmj set. i walk into a deli to get a soda, and lo and behold, gabe saporta is there, standing on line. so i walk up to him, tap him on the shoulder and say "Why? How could you go from Midtown to THAT?"
he gives me a funny look, laughs and says "Yeah, i get that a lot."

he gives me a funny look, laughs and says "Yeah, i get that a lot."I'd give Gabe a piece of my mind if I saw him. I'd say "How could you go from calling Midtown your baby to naming a shitty song 'Pop-Punk Is Sooooo '05?'" I really want to know what his response was. Probably "It was a joke". Bullshit, it was a joke.
Yes. And?

Not the type of person who inserts herself in something that has nothing to do with me.
Embarassed?
Hahaha, no.
And it's not personal preference if it's not said by the band. Their albums clearly say "Smashing Pumpkins".
Which is why I did not make it an official part of their title. Shut up about it now.

I don't care. It's not part of their name so it shouldn't be there.

I defend them when people say shit that's just not cool and has nothing to do with anything, like the band's appearance or whatever. Or just saying "they suck ass" for no reason or a stupid reason.
I've never said they were the best of anything, I've even admitted some flaws.
Shows how much you really know about me, because that's definitely not true. How about you spend a little more time around here before telling me I always do?
Oh noez, I don't like FOB or Paramore? Oh noez...
i know. he seems like a nice guy thoI respect the guy a lot. I just want to get that off ym chest so I can have nothing but respect for him. (Except CS, that is)
Yes. And?
10/22/07, 03:16 PM
The list 'em.
I don't care. It's not part of their name so it shouldn't be there.
Then.

1) thats happened recently with brand new's older albums. and i admit flaws with brand new quite often. the difference between me and you is that i will qualify others' opinions about the band as long as they're not being hostile about it.
2) thats a pretty bad argument against me considering i only like one of FOB's cds when they werent anything like they are now, and i've never liked paramore. i think fueled by ramen has been complete shit with the exception of take this to your grave, actually. what im getting at when i say you have very limited taste is because you're basically just like, MCR >>>>> thursday > smashing pumpkins >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> everything else. three bands is not enough to grant you credibility on a music forum.

1. So will I, but unfortunately, people are often pretty hostile to the band I like.
2. It's not a bad argument because the only band you've seen me bash are pretty much FOB and Paramore. Unless you count Aiden, Alesana, etc. because I don't. Everybody hates them.
I think you have very limited insight into my taste or my posts because: 1) You pop up like every three months or so and stay for a week or two.
2) You don't know actually know me(I hate using that "you don't know me, so whateva!" line, it's so lame, but it's true here).
I just don't like Midtown very much. Don't take it and whine that I hate every band. Please.

All I will say is well, i'm not going to say it because Midtown was one of the best bands ever to me and Cobra Starship is well... (Please put profanity here, and lot's of it)
I think you might get the idea?

This thread should not exist.
Don't get me wrong, I really, really like Cobra Starship, but they are in no way, shape, or form better than Midtown. At all.
Viva La Cobra has some really fun songs, but they have yet to write one song better than anything Midtown ever wrote.

This thread is an abomination and everyone knows it.
Then please lock it, Anton. Please.
If this helps the cause then I'll cover your back and say it was giving me mental distress, okay? There's your reason for locking it.
