Published on November 25th 2003
Well, we did it. After months of searching for the perfect band for the upcoming entry in the Punknews.org dictionary, we found the winner. This band is 100% worthless. And even worse, their ugly mugs are plastered in the inside of the case. Every time I open the thing I get an uncontrollable urge to punch these fuckers right in the face. They have no purpose here. They are just the newest set of leeches milking the youth of America for all they're worth. Ladies and gentlemen, I present to you the Higher - a living definition of tatecore.

I completely agree. This band sounds like what a sumo wrestlers dump inside a used nascar tire would smell. Tatecore rules! U all gays, lesbs and faggots! Just so you know, I hate this band Sucks that you didn't like it man, it really does. But, there are a lot of people that will, including myself. Everyones opinion will differ. I've seen them twice live and I think they are a kick ass live band. Their songs are put together very well. Just my 2¢ anyways. Seth needs a belt and a larger sweatshirt. Never heard em...but Kazaa should remedy that in about 20 minutes. (fucking 56k....) jets to brazil are infinitely better than cursive. why you gotta be putting down glam? Cursive are a great band, but they're not nearly as good as Jets To Brazil in both the musical and lyrical department. To the guy who thought we were "jealous" and "retarted [sic]"; there is no hatred from me. I'm mostly indifferent. I have fun working on this site, and talking to people and listening to music, end of story. I don't care if there are 5 or 500 other sites, as long as they're doing it for the right reasons. "Yes Funkmeister! Bask in the goodness of the organ!" Retarted? "Can someone please fill me in on all this tate hate?" HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA, thats fucking awesome! Can someone please fill me in on all this tate hate? no, it is just music anyways. i can respect your opinions just as much as you respect mine, which is nice. Well at least you have actuals beliefs behind your choice, so ill respect what you say. Who the hell is Tate? i used "pedestrian" twice in my commentary on cursive... this score is for my level of diction at 3:00 am. And Cursive has an ugly chick in it. it may have been more pedstrian, but i think the album sounded much more honest, and much less contrived, than the ugly organ... i mean, domestica was fucking solid. the ugly organ just screams "filler" to me, with all the half-assed ambient tracks... i mean, some bands can pull off the atmospheric interludes and maintain my interest, but cursive are better when they are just fucking rocking. Wow. You actually like Domestica? That was seriously one of the most half assed terrible albums I ever heard. I hated Cursive til Burst and Bloom came out. (or was it that split with eastern youth thatcame first? wherever the cello made its debut) Something bout that cello brings out the good in Tims song writing. And are you trying to say that DOmestica actually has ANYTHING on it that hasnt been played 5000 times by some other indie rock hipster? i think the ugly organ was waaay overhyped... i thought it was a major let down after domestica. the ugly organ made cursive look kinda ridiculous, i think. i'd heard everything on that record before, played by some one else, years before. whoever said this band has worked hard has their head up their ass or the bands' ass. i'm from Vegas and what was said ealier is true. They're just following the whole tatecore trend and only work hard when trying to getting from daddy's pockets. I remember when BSD thought I was being serious when I said Korn was hardcore... The Ugly Organ is better then most of the things ever mentioned on this damn site. Kids dont know how to deal ith hype. They either like the hyped band to much, or say its "overrated" cuz of a bais. There IS a middle ground. And the Ugly Organ is fucking fantastic. Hahaha... It's a sad world when when such outrageous sarcasm could actually be mistaken for serious thought! something corporate is god... they have the most complicated guitars i've ever heard as well as the cleanest vocals... plus, north is much harder than their previous efforts..its hardcore as hell dude.. PULSELESS! 'At's what I am! OK! Fuck this, bring back Faded Grey. from the fiddler site: the ugly organ is mondo overrated. The opening of this review is golden. Well Cursive are not the best band ever...shit, thats overblowing it a bit much. "did you get my e-mail??? i got like, 4 mailer-daemon things telling me that it wouldn't go through. don't ever compare anyone to cursive. they are one of the most amazing bands ever. even if you don't like them , you can tell that they have talent both musically and lyrically. if you don't agree then you are retarded and your opinion doesn't mean anything anyway. Great, you met a band, and they told you they work hard. I'm blown away. did you get my e-mail??? i got like, 4 mailer-daemon things telling me that it wouldn't go through. They don't by chance, work hard, do they? funny you say that they used daddys money. i am no fan of these guys, but i have met them and they are pretty humble about their band. they have worked pretty hard to get where they are at. they worked just as hard as any outher band to get signed. so, just because their music does not agree with you, don't go spreading rumours about some hardworking guys. As Someone from the Higher's hometown, Vegas, and an active part of the music genre out here, I have to say the review can't be more on. I think this band has about four guys who enjoy them, and all four are their friends. Its a fanbase made up completely of girls who want to fuck them because they're cute guys in a band. Cursive songs are not boring. If you say "Red Hnded Slight of Hand" and "Art is hard" are boring, then you have no pulse. Get a difibrilator... QUICK!!!! i have no pulse. hahahha Cursive songs are not boring. If you say "Red Hnded Slight of Hand" and "Art is hard" are boring, then you have no pulse. since it's tate were talking about, it's probably plastered with pictures of brand new, and ofcourse his oxygen tank (a cd case with blinks entire discography, starting with their debut album enema of the state). Are we talking about a new impala, or an impala with pictures of Brand New plastered all over it? i wish tate were really some fucking hardass... this whole ap.net thing is just some sick front, and he is secretly logging information on each and every one of us... until one day... tate is still the saddest of all. Taken from AbsolutePunk.net: Its sad, very sad how these kids yes they are kids use all there highschool friends to sell albums, they suck bad....... Aweful there songs are sad attempts at emo and poety, they make me want to start a band and I can't sing........ They write songs about girls and love lost these guys have banged every highschool in vegas and are the biggest face the jury whore ever. In fact there ep name is a rip off of there old band name...... September Star, now they realase a cd called the star is dead...... but these sappy attempts at lost love when the oldest is like 20 or 21 I think is funny as hell. They had highschool reletionships and even there song writing proves it. You guys compare them to cursive well I think they more along the lines of NFG jr. Or rufio but way worse the saddest part is they sound aweful live they can't play.... I can't believe fiddler is wasting there money on them, That was cockney BSD KC styles. will the REAL BSD please stand up? Bear in mind that, yes, I did write that long post, and the two comments following mine were made by impostors. Cursive makes boring music. Boring=bad. 4Q. don't fucking put The Mars Volta and Cursive amongst all those other bands BSD, im pretty sure you have never heard Cursive from the way you talk. Whoever wrote that LOAD OF SHIT has way way way too much time on his/her hands. Damn that was stupid. Oh I wonder if I really typed that? I'm ashamed to admit that I've had a change of heart... My girlfriend left me this morning... She stole my fucking The Criminals shirt. Lets hope this release is the start of a great career in the music business for all the guys in The Higher! This is WORSE than Yellowcard! Who is anyone who likes Cursive to make fun of someone elses musical tastes? It's all about Maggie Thatcher... mmmmmm. It's all about Mandy Moore. mmmmmm... I think she's hideous Sickboi...I can't stand fake looking girls. Tate could only wish for poon as hot as Miss Spears. Say what you will, but that broad is muy caliente. Taken from AbsolutePunk.net: Ba-Zing! after looking at the photos on the website, i have found that not only have we found a definition for a word, but a new definition for an existing word: The score is for superdude. This score is for the mp3 I havent heard any other songs, and don't feel the need to! I don't really know what "tastecore" is but after hearing this, I can tell that it's not a complimentary term! the word "tatecore" fucking sucks. now "bombastic"...that's a great word. this score is for scott's review. the review is excellent shit. hahahaha This review was good, but here's how I would make it better: whos tate? "i am pretty sure if the higher ran across this fat fuck scott, they would beat the shit out of him." kid who likes ska: you are jealous. this is the new ska. you have no room to say anything about running up on stage and punching someone in the face. the most annoying bands i have ever seen are ska bands. you genre is a joke to the world. rich? hardly. they just wound up with nice equiptment "i am pretty sure if the higher ran across this fat fuck scott, they would beat the shit out of him." Douche Bags* i am pretty sure if the higher ran across this fat fuck scott, they would beat the shit out of him. Scott, you summed up what everyone in Las Vegas has been thinking since they 1st heard this band. Then they were known as September Star but they blew just as hard. I've HAD to see this band many times and every time I get that uncontrollable urge to run right up to to the stage and punch them in the face. They do somehow have really hot girlfriends though. "Every time I open the thing I get an uncontrollable urge to punch these fuckers right in the face." ok. "tate" used this joke already. Get some new material. I'm actually surprised that Tate didn't hype this band as much. It came more from that loser Wark. Hey scott you giant douche bag i dont like the higher either they are typical bullshit but how do you rip on a bands sound and lyrics and then give the new blink 182 cd a 4 your a hypocrit fucker "are you talking about me or The Higher?" I love when Scott decides to rip a band apart, it's always so beautiful. This review was fucking hilariuous, but a foolish move in my belief. Tate is just going to link this review in his news section (between posts chronicling what he ate for lunch and new merch from Slick Shoes). Now we may just have to witness an onslaught from his defensive and narrow-minded fanbase. The "pro Blink-182 but anti-MTV corporate bullshit" type. whatever, this band is awesome. this cd is the reason i'm breathing. "And even worse, their ugly mugs are plastered in the inside of the case. Every time I open the thing I get an uncontrollable urge to punch these fuckers right in the face. They have no purpose here. They are just the newest set of leeches milking the youth of America for all they're worth." Hey Scott, my comments were directed towards the Tate hysteria. I just don't think he or ap.net is even worth the time insulting. It only fans the flames of what will eventually be a sinking ship. - Jordan Pastepunk. Jordan- Man Scott, you are my hero. the more attention you give to this guy, the more it perpetuates his "popularity." I hardly think it's worth the effort. - Jordan Pastepunk go scott go. This score is for the review. Man, I started laughing so loud at work people just starting looking at me like I was an idiot. This review deserves some special honor, I don't know what it is, but it was fucking hilarious. A laugh riot. This score is for Scott's review. wtf, i wrote that in caps. |
