While I was in the middle of writing this review and listening to this cd, a kid from down the hall who is mocked for liking Good Charlotte and Simple Plan, made a special trip down the hall to tell me how ‘gay’ his cd was. Saying that he lacks ALL taste in music is an understatement, because this 5 song EP is awesome.

"i really hate this ep. their full length is good though" hey beefcake, it's indie. this band has dance party written all over it, sorry that you're not aware that your shit, what you like to call "fast punk rock" (although punk is more of a community than it is a genre) stinks. This is quite possibly the worst band/cd I've ever heard. This shit just sucks. I hate these fucking shit bands that can't sing or scream and as far as the music goes, they don't have any fucking talent. What ever happened to Hard Fast Punk. This shit just ain't rocking "Korn rules dude" someone please explain to me when the music from off broadway shows got popular, cause that's exactly what this band sounds like. new wave/post punk/power pop my ass... Korn rules dude, that's true hardcore. And to the person below, I like a wide range of music, not just hardcore and death metal. And if you're thinking "Well that's all you review!", well I review what I'm sent, and that's mostly what it is. I like death metal, hardcore, punk, grind, thrash, and whole array of things, don't pigeonhole me. Your criticism of those two genres just proves you're talking out of your ass. I never bashed the Ramones, I just don't like them, they don't interest me. I never said they weren't influential. FUCK THE WORLD! RAAAAAH! DIEEEEE! GAHHHHH! So, Cawknocker, you would basically rather listen to modern shit rehashes of old punk than old punk itself? Thats just a bad taste in music, and nobody will ever be able to cur that. Forty, you don't like good music. i'm with fortyminutes west on this one. i think the ramones are very influential, thats obvious. but like the sex pistols, if i listen to it now, i just get bored. it doesnt translate very well to me. i'd much rather hear greenday for nostalgia, yea i know they were influenced by the ramones to, but i just dont' care for them. their lyrics are just lame and their songs all sound the same and are boring. it was great for its time, made a huge statement and impact, i think they should be highly regarded as groundbreaking artists. but i just can't get into them, and think most people that listen to them do cuz its the punk thing to do. whatever. i'll listen to the clash's london calling and thats about it for old ass punk. at least that has variety. ok first off hot hot heat is better than the band currently in your cd player. Wow, there are quite a good many idiots roaming this site nowadays. Yep that's me alright, I hate everything except hardcore, it's all I listen to, if I get anything slightly different, I throw it away! for awhile, i was under the impression that fortyminuteswest didn't like any music. every band that he commented on he didn't seem to like. Oh no, I've lost credibility with you! Oh, this will keep me awake at night! How can I ever get back into your good graces? Should I buy every Ramone's tribute album(all 5,000 of them) or some other band related products? How about some Joey Ramone deodorant? Strong enough for a man, sensitive enough for a Ramone. But you forgot... Death metal sucks. Liking the Ramones isn't by any means a rule... Its just that you lose all credibility when you say such a stupid things. Dream Theater rocks, although they should spell their name "Theatre", it just looks cooler. This score is for Dream Theatre... Oh, I didn't know liking the Ramones was a pre-requisite for visiting this site. Please take me away, Mr. Punk Police. I'm turning myself in, I have another confession, I hate Rancid. "I can think of a ton of death metal bands I'd listen to before the Ramones." "Okay, coming from a guy who says that the Ramones suck and didn't inspire any punk bands. Yeah, I respect your opinion. Anybody who listens to death metal has already proven what terrible tastes in music they have." I reviewed the yeah yeah yeahs cd. Okay, coming from a guy who says that the Ramones suck and didn't inspire any punk bands. Yeah, I respect your opinion. Anybody who listens to death metal has already proven what terrible tastes in music they have. The Yeah Yeah Yeahs might not be unoriginal, but they are terrible. The Yeah Yeah Yeahs are the real thing. I don't give a shit about music sounding "punk", all I want is original rock music (the original meaning of punk). this is steaming poop. no more garage rock please you forgot to mention the best hot hot heat song to date: This is much better than Good Charlotte and much worse than The White Stripes. i really hate this ep. their full length is good though Who was the kid down the hall? Was it ***wuss emo rock***? It sure sounds like it's him. what a horrible band. i'll take good charlotte over this pile of shit any day....wait, good charlotte is shit already....guess that demotes hot hot heat even further down the shit hole. This band is as great as a band can be at this moment. - bigjerk Bizarre but I dont know a thousand bands who plays that kind of music. The voice sounds a little like Robert Smith but that's it. Hot Hot Heat kicks ass.. and put's canada back into the music scene while we try and forget about freakin' Avril and Simple Plan. oh what shame I havent heard this album but I just got Make Up the Breakdown and that album fucking rocks... I can only imagine how good this one is.-BostonMusicGuy this band rocks. plain and simple. I saw them a few months back at the bowery ballroom in NYC. now if anyone knows NYC, you know the bowery is on the lower east side, which is a pretentious scenester hotbed. just think of the worst music snob you know and mutiple that by the thousands. at any rate, this band puts so much energy in their live show its infectous. Let alone that they just sound good live. I know I was jumping around and dancing, but i'll do that at most shows. Now I know that if you're band worth a grain of salt, you should be able to do get the crowd moving. but the point is, this band was so good live, even the pretentious scenesters were jumping up around and dancing. This ep and makeup the btreakdown are great albums. and if you can catch them live, run, don't walk. I just realized that diseases and viruses are the hip new craze around here. Now excuse me while I get some whooping cough, oh yeah! ebola??? a lil too much huh? i would've prefer lockjaw. anyway, ok band but nothing that really clicks. This band is alot like ebola, except more painful. I think these guys are talented and write better music than I ever could, but they are also vasty overrated. There are a gazillion other bands doing the exact same thing. First. |
