new flobots song, you heard it??

[jonspeaks22]

So the flobots have this new song out, "rise"..it's actually REALLY good, i wasn't really a fan of handlebars but RISE sounds sorta like amosphere mixed with some old funk haha. Or maybe i just have weird ears, but i really like it. They finally put it up on their myspace page myspace.com/flobots ..check it people , i think you'll like it too!

update. here's the video for rise

[ThisIsNotDan]

eh, this album isn't that good. however, this song and "Never Tried It" are good

[Jumpoff]

This band sucks.

[Klatzke]

I like this band, a lot.

But.. that was on Fight With Tools, not exactly new.

[Ouch]

Flobots are cool beans y'all.

[eatsound]

i have the album, but havent really listened to it much. its not my top priority listening wise =P

It's actually pretty good. The lyrics are really the charm, but the music is in no way bad.
i listened to it nonstop for like, two weeks.

[Yes. And?]

I haven't heard this band (or rappers..?) and based on what people say about them, I believe I'll keep it that way.

[Matthew Tsai]

i heard it from my local goodwill

[Getup and Dance]

Flobots suck, listen to good hip hop.

[Circa1628]

Fight With Tools is great, especially, "Anne Braden"

[ThemChains]

I've heard one song, and I don't at all see the appeal.

[jonspeaks22]

well i mean, they play flobots on KROQ...at least here in LA. I wouldn't really classify it "HIP HOP" per se...i think it has a really good blend of many elements of popular music.

[jonspeaks22]

and if you go read their lyrics, that stuff is really deep.

General loves them...so that should be enough to tell you to stay away.

[airik625]

What is likable about this band?

[chipdip18]

I've heard that cruddy single (Handlebars or whatever) And it sounds like they tried to rip off Cake.

Fuck this band. Cake is not my thing.

Have you listened to any Flobots? I enjoy Cake for the sake of enjoying Cake, no other reason.

I've heard that one song, I agree with your statement, I just don't like either band, but if I had to choose I would listen to Cake with ear muffs on.

I don't care what handicap you add while listening to Cake, just as long as you pick Cake over Flobots.

[ThemChains]

Oh, well that's an easy decision. I would make the Flobots eat glass while I paper cut their eyes.

[chipdip18]

Oh boy, that sounds so incredibly painful.

[ThemChains]

No, don't let Slipknot effect anything in your life.

Ok. Music is alive again. But seriously? That is such a terrible lyric, why do people make bad music? WHY?

[ThemChains]

Because people buy it?

Sadly, you are right. Slipknot is such a huge joke. People buy into that image.

[ThemChains]

I know someone who has a Slipknot mask, he bought. I lost most of my respect for him. He used to be alright in my book.

Probably, I knew him through an acquaintance, and he was always chill, he has slowly gotten more annoying over time though.

[fly_guy]

Arent Flobots from Colorado?

[chipdip18]

I blame Slipknot.

[ThemChains]

I blame Slipknot.

I blame him being an annoying person, with annoying tendencies, and an annoying personality.

[chipdip18]

Well you know him better than i do haha.

[ThemChains]

Indeed I do. Imagine an annoying puppy, as a human being, who fucks with hard drugs.

Sounds really needy and touchy.

[ThemChains]

Sounds really needy and touchy.

Mostly generally annoying. Back to the subject at hand. Flobots...they suck.

Flobots suck hard. It was a bummer to see that at this music festival i just went to (Bumbershoot) their line was over an hour long to get in.

[ThemChains]

Hahaha.

[chipdip18]

I was disappointed in hundreds and hundreds of people.

[ThemChains]

I was disappointed in hundreds and hundreds of people.

Arent Flobots from Colorado?

i just checked wikipedia, and yes they are.

these are lyrics to their single "rise" and this is what i'm talking about. their music has a MESSAGE/MEANING. this is what we're missing in the music industry.

so much pain we
dont know how to be but angry
feel infected like weve got gangrene
please dont let anybody try to change me
me
just me
in the middle of a sea full of faces
full of faces
some laugh some salivate
whats in your alleyway
recycling bins or bullet cases
its not equal
its not fair
were different people
but were not scared
we aint never scared
to pave a new path
make a new street
build a new bridge
say can you see by the dawns early light
free slaves running
songs words werent right
now a new days coming
the few stay stunning while the many are handsome
your soul is alive but they want it for ransom
the base drumming is the anthem
we step to the heartbeats of our granddaughters and grandsons
and

rise together we

lost hope and found need
grounded by our surroundings
did the walls scream universities
or you and I verse the tees
react automatic and we burst when squeezed
and make 9-11 each emergency
urgency amber to red like the turning leaves
oh please let the hurting cease
don't let apathy police the populace
we will march across
those stereotypes that were marked for us
the answers obvious
we switch the consonants
change the sword to words and lift continents

[summer skin]

Um, we already have a band with real meaning...
