This isn't very good.

I wouldn't.

If only my opinion had the power to make people quit -- we could get rid of so many bands, so quickly. Unfortunately, while opinionated, I am not all powerful. Nickelback still exists. I See Stars still sell albums.

Don't take it personally - once you put something out in the world, it's there to be judged.

Not really.

Everyone's got their opinions so it's whatever. I'm not exactly quitting my day job to do this.

I don't think there's much out there I bite my tongue over -- ever. Kind of one of the pillars of this website has been my inability to filter myself. I'm pretty open about what I like and don't
like.



Don't think people should take me any more or less seriously than anyone else, or someone else's opinion. Anyone can listen to the songs and decide for themselves. But, it's a sunny Sunday and I'm sitting around listening to stuff online, see a lot of comments about a band/song ... figured it was worth a listen ... and then I'm gonna comment as well.

Shit rules.

Based on your profile, (American Nightmare, The Wonder Years, Brand New, Fairview), we like virtually the exact same bands ...

AP makes intentional troll posts just to rack up page views. There's something on here every week about The Dangerous Summer drama, Emmure, or I See Stars. They post often about the bands they dislike.

You continue to have no fucking clue what you're talking about. But I do love the irony of someone that's been banned from multiple threads for trolling ... talking about trolling. Good times.

Basically, I'm more surprised at you voicing your dislike over something like this, rather than actually disliking it.
Whatever, I suppose.

I don't really have an indifferent switch. I'm more of a love it or hate it kind of person.

What are you talking about?

Yep, will still post about Taking Back Sunday too ... even though they haven't released something I want to listen to in years. What's your point? We post what we feel like posting ... we've done the same thing for like 11 years now. This should shock no one.

This EP is pretty damn great. 2 songs in and I'm really enjoying it.

There are people on staff that like Odd Future.

Can we talk about Jonny Craig now?

Mr. "I don't write lyrics, I just ad-lib nonsense"?

Thought it was super boring TBH. I dunno, like it was a copy of a copy almost. I wanted to like it ... maybe I need to try it again or something -- cause I just could not get into it.

Liking a band and perpetuating the success homophobic morons are two different things.
