Listening to it right now. I used to HATE her but I gave her another chance and I really like what I hear! This new song of hers is great;

Maker released a Self Titled EP today

CITIES AVIV

Picked up Green Day and I'm pretty disappointed with it so far. I enjoyed ¡Uno! quite a bit, but ¡Dos! just doesn't do it for me so far. I'll have to listen more, I guess.

Got new Lana and "new" Weeknd today.

Also I don't care how long the deftones have been around and how "influential" they are they sound like radio butt rock. I honestly couldn't listen to more than 1 min out of 3 songs on this new record and i can tolerate a lot. its terrible.

I can understand someone not liking them but "radio butt rock?" I've never heard anyone even begin to denigrate them that way. There's so much to their sound that it's quite an insult to hurl one of the few consistently creative bands out there into that pile.

This. Seriously Deftones is like the most original sounding band right now that actually somewhat sells big. How anyone could say they are just "radio butt rock" is beyond me.

I don't mean to lower them to the standards of 3 doors down, seether and the like but the chord transitions and melodies just IMO not appealing. I get it, they were pioneers of a sound and were around for quite some time allowing bands in our genre to exist them having paved the ground, but it just has this alt-rock feel I just can't get into for the life of me. I don't really know how to describe it its just unaplealing to my ears.

Major League was enjoyable.

I've heard really good things about From Indian Lakes, what would be a RIYL for them?

major league is amazing

Punch Brothers EP is great as well.
Curious to listen to all of Soundgarden and The Weeknd too.

How can you "hate" this woman? Blue Jeans and especially Video Games are nothing short of great songs. + she's sexy as fuck.

New Deftones and Crystal Castles for sure.
Major League if I can afford it.
Already have all 3 of The Weeknd's EPs, all are fantastic.
This thread turned me on to From Indian Lakes, grabbing them if I can too.

Totally understandable, dude. It was just that comparison that really got me to raise an eyebrow.
