My Score:

I dig this album. I mean, I'm more of an Affront kinda guy, but it's still ill.

Hmm, I've heard a lot of mixed things about this band. MRR said they were pretty decent sounding along the lines of old AFI with Milo-esque vocals. Though here they are getting torn apart, but can't say that doesn't surprise me. Guess I'll have to check them out on pure volume or myspace or wherever bands post MP3s these days.

I've seen this band and I'll tell you what they sound like:

a weak mix of street punk with melodic hardcore/90s skate punk, it's pretty awful.

My Score:

You think it's a new fixation that bands have with blood and shit? How old are you?

Ever heard of TSOL? Samhain? The Damned, the Misfits?

References to death don't count as "allusions" - allusions to previous bands, artists, or films - anything specific is an allusion. (example - dashes like this - are an allusion to Dickinson)

I've seen them a few times. What riffs are re-occuring?

I agree about the lyrical recycling but otherwise, I think you hastily probably judged the book by its cover

Nah, the scare doesn't rock " that trite nu-emo/hardcore bullshit" with their lyrics.

It's like melodic hardcore, with kind of a horror twist.

It also isn't a " trite tactic of overdoing blood/death imagery." They aren't like Deicide or anything

Have you even heard them? Seen 'em live?

If not, why are you saying 'trite' so many times?

"LOL opinions are like assholes and most of them stink. The great thing about punknews is that you can critique the review. This review doesn't give you any insight of what this band sounds like, just that the reviewer ain't down with death and doesn't appreciate dark imagery and the subtleties behind it. People take shit too literal and don't stop to think about what's really being said. The Scare fucking rule. The shits fast catchy punk rock with a dark edge (duh). And the dudes in the band are solid though I'm sure they'd get a kick out of internet slander calling them full of themselves. Also the split they did with Devotion To Trust is pretty sick if you like the more hardcore side of things."

Hey, fuckwit, just because someone insults the fact that this band uses the trite tactic of overdoing blood/death imagery doesn't mean they can't appreciate the band's "subtleties." Without listening to the band, I can say that if they do that trite nu-emo/hardcore bullshit with their lyrics constantly, it's not worth the time spent to play it. There are too many bands writing that crap right now, just like they are too many bad pop-punk bands writing incredibly generic songs about girls.

i remember when saves the day had meaningless violent lyrics, remember when saves the day was cool? that's how old that gimmick is.

that review was written by one of their friends, or at least someone who let them sleep on their floor.

this band blows.

and they are kind of full of themselves.

Eh. . .much better review here:

www.scenepointblank.com/reviews/925

i thought this was the emo band from Australia.

I'm still waiting for someone to review the new albums from Death Before Dying, Bleeding Bloody Blood, Fighting Through With Visions of Blood, and Triumph Through Victory.

TTV's new record, "The Struggle of the Fight, the Finish of the End" was pretty rad.

I saw this band open for Strike Anywhere, it was pretty bad.

Score is for two different reviews with the word "devoid" in them.

My Score:

"I would love it if somebody could explain to me the fixation on blood that so many new bands seem to have."

It's because blood-themed lyrics are deep and meaningful. You've clearly never felt real pain, so you wouldn't understand.

I'm sure you already know this, but the reason for all the blood, angels, death and blades is because needlessly violent imagery is what passes for lyrical content now.
