well... i hate killswitch. they've always been run-of-the-mill dating back to end of heartache and whatever came before that. they're just so...formulaic. i saw you post that video a few days ago. i came back to the thread and was about to hit play, but then i thought, "man...i'm gonna fucking hate this shit." so last night, i came around and thought, "maybe it won't be so bad. i'll give them another shot." i got to the guitar solo (i hate guitar solos), and had to turn it off. fuck KSE. obviously not enough noise and chaos. lol

this was awfully boring

i'm so drunk. all i need are some fucking wings.

clearly you haven't seen taylor swift's shake it off... hahahahha

just saw an update on facebook. they had the baby. congrats, phil!

so long as i don't have to read anything, i'm good.

it's ok man, the 90's are coming back.

still packed. damn

yeah, i think they did. JNCOs died. we needed bigger pants and Kikwear came along. and then UFO's...those had all the straps and shit in the pockets... and then i think they became the default raver pants. i don't think i've ever worn flannel, but can completely relate to the sentiment. i need to whip out my "scene" hoodie...

my metal knowledge doesn't predate 2000 and doesn't go past 2005. i don't listen to motley crue, iron maiden, slayer, or really anything akin to those bands. the only exception is metallica, i guess. but even so, i'm not a huge metallica fan. i had a bunch of pairs of JNCOs...also KIKwear or whatever the fuck cause they made shit even bigger than JNCOs

scene kids dress like that. and you misspelled JNCO. ASK ME HOW I KNOW

now you know why i put scene in quotes and also said, "...or whatever the fuck" also, i had to look up nikki sixx. i have no idea who that is.

i can't wait for fucking hockey. i've posted so much today. reminds me of GDT's. first preseason game in 11 days!

i was being somewhat rhetorical. mostly because i can google "scene kids" and get this... http://i.imgur.com/ePOCiii.png but yes, yes yes yes. it's great to have a scene and do shit with your friends who share the same interests.

yeah. i agree. i used to write a lot of music. the evolution of songwriting is exactly that - an evolution. you can't continue to write the same thing and expect it to get better. you start trying new things and hence, develop a new sound. when i was listing bands earlier, it occurred to me that i was listing early albums by each bands. not on purpose. not because i'm wearing my hipster glasses and liked the bands before anyone else, but mostly because there is something so raw about a band's first album. it's not exactly easy to keep that kind of energy up. also, i stopped caring about the "scene" or whatever the fuck for a while. life got the best of me, and so my cut-off was like 2004-2005.

first two snapcase songs were great. less than three minutes - perfect. that thing song though, i had to turn it off. it's not that i can't appreciate some slower shit, but five and a half minutes of it - i have the attention span of a gnat.

these snapcase songs remind me of something and i can't pinpoint it just yet. but i can definitely understand where the recommendation came from. thank you! helmet anyone?

i'm finishing up listening to miss machine (DEP) and then i'll check these out. thanks! and yeah...lol @ glassjaw purists...i used to post on a lot of music boards and noticed the same thing. some of that head automatica shit was awesome. but for the purists, there's no removing glassjaw from head automatica because of palumbo. but they're just such different projects, the only thing the purists can grasp and hold onto is palumbo's name. in being that kind of a purist, they're shortchanging only themselves.

refused's the shape of punk to come and ATDI's relationship of command are in my opinion two of the best albums ever written. i don't think i've ever listened to snapcase. and i don't think i appreciated glassjaw until way after i should have. on a side note, not metal at all, have you listened to head automatica?

yeah, i can definitely get into some of their less-mathy stuff. miss machine was also a great album. it was like...a great mix of their mathy content with the newer-era dillinger

listening meow. edit - lol @ putting "mathier" in quotes, when it is in fact mathier. also lol at your spelling.

oh of course. i could have sworn i mentioned them on the first page of this thread. them and psyopus - absolutely right up my alley. PLAY ALL THE TIME SIGNATURES!

oh, i don't disagree. i'm not sure i listen to any traditional metal... like...5 minute songs with "epic" guitar solos just doesn't do it for me. i get bored. maybe that's just my a.d.d. talking but i want my song to change every 10 seconds and never repeat. hahaha

will do. and now i'm looking through my music catalog for something "hard" to share... but i don't fuck with "hard" shit.../ the metal i really like is just technical as fuck. not sure if that makes it "hard" though, you know? and by no means to i want to have a discussion about the million sub-genres under the metal umbrella, i'm just...typing. i guess...the bled? pass the flask was one of my favorite fucking albums when it came out. but that's not that hard. calico system? the duplicated memory has its moments. and that will always be one of my most favorite albums to listen to. fear before (the march of flames)? i think they got rid of the "the march of flames" part of their name - odd how people shake will forever stay with me. there are some SOLID fucking tracks on that album. circle takes the square? not hard, but definitely not soft - as the roots undo. can't go wrong with converge, eh? but they're not really metal...they're more hardcore, i suppose. there i go again though...talking about genres. what about into the moat or curl up and die? WE BUTTER THE BREAD WITH BUTTER? some weird german shit - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IGuj-PeWbpY

yeah, they're not "hard" by any means, but i can't front. i really get down with some melodic [insertvaguetermhere]core. thanks for posting BSF, i haven't listened to them since tomorrow comes today
