"There's a glossary of dirty words for people just like you. You've already formed a pretty good idea of just what Dead Poetic brings to the table. But I'm not willing to write them off so easily. This record, while long and a bit bland at points, shows a lot of potential and definitely delivers on intensity and energy, something a good majority of their peers in this "emotional post-hardcore" field sorely lack. If the group can just consistantly hone that energy and turn it into stronger songs like "Taste The Red Hands" and "New Medicines," they'll have a strong future atop marquees nationwide.

very good cd i agree, this is a solid and enjoyable listen. not amazing, but good. This is a great CD, even if they are Christian, who gives a shit. It's pretty solid. i anknowledge everything said by the reviewer as entirely true. but dont let it turn you off. this is a really solid album. its grown on me a lot. honestly, the emphasis should have been more on "scene kid" than "religious". I really think "scenes" tend to give people values and ideas without giving them the world experience to justify those values. Those lyrics posted in the review are just regurgiated ideas. As far as religion, that's just another way for people to assume knowledge without having experience to back it up. "those lyrics don't mean anything. they come from a bunch of religious scene kids who don't know anything about anything.and Norma Jean is TERRIBLE. they would be terrible even if they weren't Christian. they are just terrible. Terrible."" those lyrics don't mean anything. they come from a bunch of religious scene kids who don't know anything about anything. modest mouse is not better than the worst band i like, most over rated band ever Scott continues to be prove why I trust and listen to his opinions. It's nice to see someone around this scene not wetting themselves over this band. Christians suck? Well i have this CD, listen to it all, and its a really well done. I am Loven it. guitar worf is loud. modest mouse and pedron the lion both sing about God, and their better than you favorite band. BSD, I'm repeatedly impressed by the depth of your musical taste (you made me relisten to Guitar Wolf, which I am very thankful for) and you saying you're 16 just seems weird. You obviously started listening to music at a very young age and in large concentrations. Could someone please explain to me what is so different about Christianity that makes it subject to a different set of rules than any other belief system? I understand that there are overzealous Christians who try to shove their views down people's throats (there's a guy like that who preaches on my campus), but I think it's totally unfair to judge an entire religion based on those people, who in my experience make up a rather small portion of Christians. Why are bands with Christian beliefs dismissed so much quicker than bands with any other beliefs? If you think bands with Christian beliefs suck, go see Norma Jean. If their live show can't change your mind, I don't know what can. "Christians suck?" I haven't heard the album yet (except for the two mp3's), but I do know that music is fucking music man. The genre's don't matter. As long as I don't see Dead Poetic sucking MTV's cornhole, then I'm fine (if the music's good). Great humor here on the fake link. you know Non Christian bands suck also... alot of bands in general suck....but besides that, just cause you dont like it doesnt mean it sucks. This band Is great, number 1,4,and another others are awsome, there not trying to be heavy, not all christian bands suck, but zao definitely does. yeah, to say Christian bands suck would say Zao sucks. So....fuck you buddy. i have their first album and i was disappointed with it. i thought i'd dig it from what i had heard, but it was a bit of a let down. i'm not too big on the first song, but the second one works, probably because it's not trying to be as heavy. I mean 13year old morons... how cute. a christian who listens to punk rock! just like a real person!" Grow up, Get over yourself that your not a chrsitian, it doesnt make you special or any better, stop acting like your know what your talking about becasue your not original. This is a Great CD, i bought it and love it, it's not as hard as there last . It's not as hard but in a good way. Vocals are great, great band period. "im an atheist, but i couldnt give a shit what the bands i listen to believe in, whether its zao or dissection. "how cute. a christian who listens to punk rock! just like a real person!" Bad Religion and Leftover Crack have songs about God... "how cute. a christian who listens to punk rock! just like a real person!" im an atheist, but i couldnt give a shit what the bands i listen to believe in, whether its zao or dissection. great cd...definitely a notch above the average 'screamo' band Talk about a "trying to sellout cd" that just sucks total ass. i like the second link how cute. a christian who listens to punk rock! just like a real person! "Since it's on Solid State, you know that the band will be skirting around the issue of Christianity" I tire of this "christ" guy people seem to be talking about. When is krishna-core going to make its comeback? 108 kicked ass. how much cooler if they used the words "dirty rotten imbecile" in that chorus? |
