Published on February 24th 2004 Occasionally hardcore, or what passes for it today, gets too predictable, and the tone-deaf singers with their cookie monster jabberings about the lies of democracy feel just like a piece of pizza tastes when it’s been in the microwave too long. Occasionally it all sounds like a gelatinous glob of shit, with very little creativity, but lots of style biting. Every so often I feel like an album (any style) is just a cop-out by four or five guys who’d play almost fucking anything to get somewhere. Some bands could easily grab a trombone player, make their colors all clash, get the first name that pops into a passing three-year-old’s head, and start playing ninth wave ska. Or they could start chain smoking, abuse their mother’s eyeliner, shrink their clothing and become an “indie” band. You see where this could go, right?
Scars of Tomorrow came up fast, but luckily, seem sincere about the eleven songs here. The seem to truly enjoy the weighty noise they make, but the singer, though adequate, may as well be a roadie for all he’s really contributing. Or, if they just taught him how to actually sing a little it would keep them from getting pigeonholed with bands who’ve far, far less ability. I liked Rope regardless, especially “Suffocating Words”, but wish they’d offer some variation in the voice department, but hey, maybe he can haul a mean amp?

Jason Thornberry, you're a faggotttttt That reviewer is an ass, punknews.com ... fire that dickhead now! This album is great! m/ That reviewer is an ass, punknews.com ... fire that dickhead now! This album is great! m/ Why is it that every song on this album kicks serious ass, yet I can never listen to more than 3 in a row without taking it out? That reviewer is an ass, punknews.com ... fire that dickhead now! This album is great! m/ This album is by far the best album that will ever hit stores in 2004. Also, Scars of Tomorrow are by far one of the most premiere hardcore bands in the U.S. today... this reviewer eats pieces of shit for breakfast whooooops! now that score looks better these guys sound like slipknot with mosh parts. horrible. just because they have lyrics about "the way we live our lives" doesn't make them good. I'm not really into metalcore, but they weren't that bad live. Hardcore is not the new nu metal. Crappy metalcore bands being passed off as hardcore bands are the new nu metal. "Some bands could easily grab a trombone player, make their colors all clash, get the first name that pops into a passing three-year-old’s head, and start playing ninth wave ska. Or they could start chain smoking, abuse their mother’s eyeliner, shrink their clothing and become an “indie” band. You see where this could go, right?" this shit got really old, really fast...I'm not talking about the band i'm talking about the million other "metalcore" bands they emulate. Absolute shite-oldpunker "Some bands could easily grab a trombone player, make their colors all clash, get the first name that pops into a passing three-year-old’s head, and start playing ninth wave ska.

Tied for first with the new Remembering Never!! Get these CDs or you are clueless pussy!! "Their last release showed potential. Their singer has such a clear voice, you can understand every word on your first listen. I haven't heard this yet, but if they've progressed like they have in the past it should be good." great review. you are all crappy people. it seems like band names get worse and worse Their last release showed potential. Their singer has such a clear voice, you can understand every word on your first listen. I haven't heard this yet, but if they've progressed like they have in the past it should be good. Wow. umm how about some info on the album? i can't even tell if you sre saying this band is gulity of that shit you said, if they are jsut following the trend of if they really mena it. wow, what a terrible review, how did this even get posted? you said nothing and it had no substance. you lose. great introduction, now where's the review The first paragraph was funny; this review sucks though. i like this album, even when i head second thoughts since i moderately enjoyed their last effort. well, this album is different. a little mixture of Most Precious Blood and Darkest Hour. also it does help to have kurt ballou to produce your record. cop this since it's probably one of the few decent bands Victory has signed. What the hell? You just did a good job of pissing all over the band, and then you give it a 7.. |
