BSD, have you been to Syracuse? "Tough guy, mosh metal, metalcore, is all that populates hardcore music today." even more scene credit: honeywell sucked Yeah let me run out an get a copy of Rolling Stone or Spin, because those publications are just the beacon of good writing. Anyhow, I said plenty about this cd, plenty. Maybe you didn't notice, but the majority agree, as you conveniently skipped over the 5 or 6 people who said good review. Ohh wow you like Superstitions of the Sky!!!! Thats so un hardcore of you, especially how its Josh of said band in this review. Yeah, I'm pretty partial to screamo bands like Knapsack, The Appleseed Cast, and Superstitions Of The Sky. That's all I review! Caught me there, sleuth. While I do love this cd, and this band, I cannot stand this reviewer. All he does is bitch in all of his reviews. What is his beef with 'tough guy hardcore'? He says thats all that is around anymore, but the only bands I ever hear anything about are bands like 18 Visions, Atreyu, Bleeding Through etc etc. "Extra-scene-credit: Honeywell invented screamo in 1992." It's hard to draw a line where emo/hardcore-emo stopped and screamo started. To me Indian Summer and Portraits of Past were still among the original emo bands and screamo didn't start until around 98/99 bands started rediscovering the sound coined by early/mid90s emo bands. Thats was me below. And to add to both lists, since I always, without fail seem to forget them: great record. good review, too. i like this way more than cryonics or that new one. theyre still good live, though. sometimes. "screamo" bands that should be heard by all: I dont think that's true. actually if you talked to someone who actually knows anything about screamo who started the genre, the last thing they would respond with would be Saetia...that's what people who got into screamo 2 months ago and don't know crap about it say. Not that there's anything wrong with that, we all were there once, but it ain't true. Indian Summer and yes, Portraits of Past were around looong before Saetia. More often than not, if you were to have a conversation with a fan of screamo, or hardcore, and you were to ask them who started screamo, Saetia would be their reply. I've experienced this myself, sorry I don't have any cool statistics or pie charts for you! Widely regarded by whom, then? Where are your facts? The so-called opinions someone includes in a review more often than not reflect their own. Anyway, you come off sounding like just another one of those pompous Pitchfork-types. "Widely regarded." "Lead singer Billy Werner was singer for the band that was widely regarded as being the originators of screamo, Saetia" I read through that review, and found two typos. wow what a piece of shit review. lots of typos and shit. Nice review. Lot's of good stuff reviewed this week that i was curious about. cool. A bit late? Probably, but this was the only Hot Cross album not reviewed on this site, so I figured it needed to be done. isnt this a little bit late? i'm pretty sure most people are sucking the dicks of hot cross at this point Great review. Great record. Great band. If anyone is interested the other half of Saetia formed Off Minor, who kick major ass. Some other good stuff along this line are: Very well written review....great great band. i didn't really say they are similar but i figured most people who liked them would like the other two bands i mentioned. i could be wrong though wouldn't be the first time. Great review. he was giving background. although he may not have went about it in the best way im sure it's helpful to other people who have never heard hotcross. the reviewer spent the first half of the review genre-dropping and bitching. if you like this band you should also listen to light the fuse and run and transistor, transistor. nice reiew. hot cross is great |
