So the dude is building up his reunion with Chiodos??? I can't for the life of me see why so many people are so hurt and whiny about it.

I like Chiodos, just not with Craig. They make good music, but I always say he sings like he's throwing rocks at planes -- just yells high notes at the top of his lungs with no regard to pitch relationships. "We Swam From Albatross" is a horrible song for this reason.

I do like Craig on softer style music though. He sounded great on CinSun; wish they were bringing that back instead.

As much as I don't like DRUGS, Craig sounded a lot better on their album than he did on BPB. Less whiny, more control. BPB is my favorite Chiodos album but that's a fair criticism. There's no reason not to be stoked on his return though.

I can't argue with that, from what I remember he did sound better. But the music wasn't good enough for more than a few listens in my opinion.

I really digged the roughness (in terms of not being pitch perfect) of Craig's cleans and screams on BPB.

The intro riff the two breakdowns that aren't shitty chug chug breakdowns. The only breakdowns that are done well. The gang vocals. I could go on for hours

Fifth. I still believe that's FFTL's best album to date, and I would absolutely love to hear new material in that same style. As for Chiodos, I don't really care. Craig's lyrics are incredibly cliche to me.


Matts lyrics are so real! Not shitty subliminal lyrics that confuse you and Don't make sense. Lyrics about not wanting to wake up and also a song about how horrible girls are nowadays. You got me pumped to listen to that record again

One of my most anticipated records of the year now. Fantastic

So..what's the status on DRUGS now? I've been away today

So excited. If DRUGS is done, I hope Aaron Stern is the new Chiodos drummer.

Much respect for this guy; a classy and mature response to a difficult situation.
