Exclamation points are a dangerous thing. They imply spontaneity. They imply energy. They imply dancability. They imply an inherent quality of fun. Look at Against Me!, Tora! Tora! Torrance!, or !!!. They all fulfill at least a few of those requirements. The question at hand is, does Volcano, I'm Still Excited!! live up to their exclamation points?

The song "In Green" on the Polyvinyl sampler sucks. pitchforkmedia.com's rating - 5.5 This has got to be THE WORST band name ever. Seriously... It is unusual, but that doesn't keep it from being abysmally retarded. nope, he's just retarded. wow.. i think he snapped. i want no art noise. i want no mars music. no votas. no 2 song sets that last forever. no jamming. no hippies. no nononnono . NONONONONONONONOON> i want skaband core. i want you to listen to me. i wnat you to care about me. i hate you whats it sound like? and this isnt punk news its emofag!!!.com right? i'm still excited!!! i have a chubby from all the emo fag bands that everyone sucks off on this site. ie. postal service, bright eyes. review me. i'm excited. i can play a casio and sound important. i'm q and not u and not atdi and not modest. i'm not even fugazi. i'm nonsense man. i want ska. i want fat punk. i want what you all have forgotten. give me buck o 9!! i don't care what anyone says, that new 1208 cd is great, it reminds me of why i fell in love with punk music in the first place (ie. pennywise, nofx, lagwagon). i know alot of people think its stupid pop fat punk, whatever, i enjoy it for what it is. wow, thats the lamest keyboardist ever, the most whiney out of key singing, and the most boring guitarist ever. this is one of the bands that you have to sit thru at a show cause all the "artsy" kids pretend to "get it" when in reality its simple non talented bullshit. These guys need music lessons and a course on creativity. dude.. just cause your bud's "punk" mohawk scrapes your balls when he's eating out your asshole doesn't mean that you should take out your frustration on indie kids or this band. Take it out on people that deserve it like.. screamo bands... and that PetroBPetSons dumbshit. Is this review for real? As the songs get systematically wedged into my brain, i'm enjoying this CD more. It's a quality CD but nothing too amazing. damn scott i bought this cd and i dont like it too much =( yea that sucked that the unicorns ended their set early b.c of a fight..they didnt even play tuff ghost..the weekend was great nontheless By the way they are really good. Does their name really matter that much anyway? Is it really bad in the first place? The fact that the worst thing that you found about them is their name proves their talent. anonymous i also saw sage francis, the non-profits, the unicorns, and modest mouse this weekend..ya miami lol..all of which were amazing shows other than the unicorns little fight at the end. I wouldn't characterize weakerthans as "weird" of "fruity," I haven' heard this band so I can't comment on them. And poopypants, you've proved yourself a hypocrite and a dumbass, go home. and why are they still excited!!! i'm excited!!! and why does scott think everything weird and fruity is 'important'. like the weaker thans. goddammit i'm angry today. fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck. fuck fuck fuck . fuck. i'm important. reveiw me. review my nuts. well thats cuz i'm a know it all asshole buddy. and theres plenty more people just like me floating around here. just one big net nerd family of know it alls and pretentious assholes. "we need to get back to the basics a little" SCOTT,SCOTT,SCOTT........WHAT THE FUCK!!-OLDPUNKER- thats awesome that pony played with them. my best friend from high school is in pony. go them go. sounds lame as shit. music is getting way too fruity, we need to get back to the basics a little. and can't bands come up with decent names anymore, christ these guys name alone screams pretention. I can't get into this. I'm lame, I know. damn you to Hell. How are the unicorns live, you should write a review. This weekend I saw The Helio Sequence, Modest Mouse, The Unicorns, and Sage Francis/ non-prophets live...i dare anyone to try to top that Anyone else think bands with commas in their names should get over themselves? I don't get the music. My ears bleed when I try to listen to "2nd Gun." I think it's too deep for me. The only thing that entertained me was imagining them play live, seeing one guy jam the two different keys on the Casio keyboard. Or hitting the "Rhumba Beat" button; either way. These guys sound really good Let's not forget the danceable and exciting Agenda! who overuse exclamation points more than anybody. Actually, if you've heard them I fully allow you to forget them. I picked this up today and popped it in on the way to work. Not too impressed so far. I liked maybe two songs, but otherwise it was a lotta white noise, and since im seriously sleep deprived, that's not good. I'll listen to the second half on the ride home, but so far... meh. Yeah they played with Pony and We Ragazzi the other night at the empty bottle. Pony was awesome. I didn't dig We Ragazzi that much although I can see why people do. don't forget gravy train!!!! wait, did someone say that pony played with these guys? this album is pretty good, but i bet most people will forget it by the time it comes to making top lists of the year. can anyone tell me how to swtich from Windows Media Player to Real Player? i played "mostly on an island" on my radio show today. nice tunes, i'll probably pick this up. Hey Scott, did you go see these guys at the empty bottle? I'm asking becuase I thought they were just fucking awful. I wanted to give them a chance becuase they seemed like alright guys but god damned, I mean the drummer holding up a sign that said love? The finger holding in the air? The Volcano I'm Still Excited song? Oh and Pony killed them. Thats just what I thought though. I can't see what the fuss is all about... these guys sound incredibly bad, whiny, slow, and annoying to me. Where's Good Riddance when you need them? crapitty-crap crap crap. godspeed you black emperor! (or gy!be, whichever you prefer) are neither dancable nor fun. But they are damn good, so I'll let you get away with your generalization of ! bands. You guys need to buy this record and see this band live, trust me. Haven't picked this up yet, but if they're better than the versions on carbon copy, I sense a contender for album of the year. i def. need to pick this shit up |
