Thank you. I'm glad somebody said it. People like to tiptoe around that a lot. The whole 1-tone gutteral thing is more of an acquired skill than a talent. Think of it like this: Any girl is *technically* equipped to be able to deep throat, but it takes a special, talented chick to know what to do with her hands while she's doing it. That's how I see the 1-tone gutteral guys; It's like they're deep throating me without having the decency to cup my balls. Periphery cups my balls.![]()
So you're entitled to steal because you're poor? Fuck you dude, seriously just fuck you. Especially when you're trying to justify stealing a debut album where sales are critical to whether a band continues with a label. Here's a tip, if you can afford a computer and internet, you can probably afford a cd so spare us.
As far as my opinion on the vocals sounding 'emo' or conventional in terms of note choice, I'm guessing a lot of the emo comment is coming from the sounds of vocal exertion, like little orgasmic groans after he sings a lot of the tougher bits (and I would be willing to bet that a large portion of guys who dislike these kinds of singing vocals are being made to feel uncomfortable by hearing guys making sex noise over a record), either that or the slightly nasal quality about him (not in a bad way).
The term "emo" was definitely used very loosely and I think what people were trying to say is that the vocals melodies are too simple/conventional in contrast to the music. And I agree with that. What with the vocal mix being higher than anything else and the vocals being the most simplified thing in the songs, it really takes away from the genius of the songs.
Dude, you described what I've been trying to say perfectly. I was using the word "whiny" but that didn't feel quite right. The word "nasal" had also come to mind, but that word just sounded really negative (Even more-so than "whiny" in my mind.).
*text and stuff*
Simple vocals? Those vocals are so hard and skilled..
Much harder then just screaming it all. News flash metal heads - Screaming doesn't really take heaps of talent.
Jesus christ. Bulb has given away countless dozens of songs for free and virtually dictated the taste of this entire board since he showed up yet you people still manage to find ways to complain about paying a dollar for an extra song or come up with elaborate justifications for not paying for his albumSeriously, what the fuck?
I don't wanna close this thread because Bulb and Periphery deserve the hype (not that they need it around here, but still...) so I'm just gonna start banning anyone from this point forward who has the audacity to try and validate not paying for the new Periphery album (and in his own goddamn release thread, of all places).
