over-rated bands![views:20869][posts:181]______________________________________ [Apr 20,2006 10:16am - Josh_Martin ""] My thoughts: Clutch fucking sucks. I too saw that tour with them and Sepultura. I'd actually seen Clutch a few times before that too, opening for various bands. I thought they sucked wicked bad. Then I saw them a couple years ago headlining because they had a couple of good opening bands. They still suck. I don't get what there is to like about Clutch at all. The Grammy's are totally gay and completely meaningless when it comes to metal. Who gives a fuck what some industry assholes think about metal? Sodom is getting all this recognition now because they finally toured the U.S a few months ago for the first time EVER. Of course they're getting talked about more than ever before. And it's about damn time too. Suffocation. Yawn. Back in the day they were just another death metal band. Now they're revered like gods by some people. I don't know why. Must have something to do with all the metalcore kids liking them. Its true that metal does not owe 3/4 of its soul to Black Sabbath. More like 9/10. |

| ______________________________________________ [Apr 20,2006 1:10pm - BobNOMAAMRooney nli ""] Any band that tours outside of its home congressional district are sellouts. To determine sellouts among bands that tour inside their congressional district if they drive to a show more than five miles from their basement they are overrated. If said band does not travel more than five miles but makes multiple copies of their cd-r demo it means that they are rich punks because they have a computer and a supply of ink and cd-rs and are therefore overrated sellouts. If a band can afford equipment they're sellouts too. |

Some people actually just think Dimmu Borgir and Opeth have decreased in quality. I am one of them. And then some people have just always thought they sucked. Sorry. I know what you mean about some people listening to what will 'make them cool', but on the flipside are just as many (no, MORE) rabid fanboys who will gush over a band no matter how miserable their output is/becomes because they too are striving for acceptance. This polarity has always existed in musical opinion, it always will, and people will always listen to music until we evolve out of having ears. |

I think it's just because for most people, the new Katatonia is their first Katatonia, since they are passive and wait for music to come to them. I think they've been going downhill for awhile now, I thought their peak was the knockout trilogy of 'Brave Murder Day', 'Discouraged Ones' and 'Tonight's Decision'. They still can come up with catchy riffs (a couple on the last two albums), but most of the records since 'Tonight's Decision' have been mild re-writes that often sound as if Katatonia wants to score the music for Laguna Beach or American's Top Model or something. |
| ___________________________________________ [Apr 20,2006 1:54pm - mikexmike @ work ""] Black Dahlia Murder is seriously the worst. I saw that band like 3 or 4 years ago at Bills Bar when every metal kid, and metalcore kid was waterlogging their nuts with drool. It was one of the single most boring sets I'd ever seen. Watered down At the Gates riffs mixed with extra boring metalcore breakdowns you could have pulled out of Earth Crisis' stool samples. My friend Frank put it the best way I can think possible to describe Black Dahlia Murder: "Every kid in that band was a complete and total nerd in their own unique way." I went on Lambgoat that night and said I thought their set was boring. The thread got at least 50 replies from kids I didn't know calling me a faggot. OVER - RATED |
| _____________________________________________ [Apr 20,2006 1:56pm - DrinkHardThrashHard ""] Not to mention that one Black Dahlia Murder song which is a DIRECT ripoff of an At the Gates tune, riff for riff, tempo for tempo, with the notes changed b/c they thought they could pull the wool over everyone's eyes. |

Clutch can't be overrated, because they're just fucking terrible. From Autumns Burning of the End in my Eyes of Ashes...I think that covers all *those* bands. Yeah, most of you don't like me anymore. I agree with all of that minus Suffocation, and minus Nile "Catacombs...", and plus Soilwork |

I really like Great Cold Distance. Don't know. Just like the vibe. Certainly better than Last Fair Deal but on par with Viva Emptiness. Tonight's Decision is my favorite though. Katatonia is one of the few bands that I like what they've become over the years as opposed to their initial output. |

That's not a factor in what I like. I like a lot of stuff, all different kinds, but sometimes a band gets built up to something it isn't. I stand by my statements, Clutch is fucking terrible, and Suffocation is not the entity they are built up to be. Deal. |
