So, just how open minded about music are you?

Speaking of openminded... I kinda don't get Nile :scratch:

But I listened and watched all the way through "Papyrus"... it was starting to make sense by the end... somewhat... the verses with the blastbeats kept me lost though.

Still! I'll take incomprehensible but brutal as fuck metal over poprocks any day!! :metal:




.....

You know, it just hit me... the plethora of emo-this-and-that bands remind me of the boyband craze awhile back... I wonder how many are as manufactured... or if offering 15 seconds of fame is enough to make dragnet fishing the musical waters profitable enough on it's own...

The drummer needs to get rid of the red patch of hair so he looks like everyone else in the band. Otherwise, he just looks stupid. :lol:

Eh, not bad. Reminds me of Japanese pop music from the 80's to 90's.

The singing kind of sucks, though.

Obviously I'm not open minded enough. I hated it, to me it sounds like a bunch of guys playing whatever they feel like (different songs), a spoilt child having a tantrum with some belching thrown in for good measure. :noway:

am i the only one who liked it at least somewhat...?

no it's not bringing really anything new to the table - but i like screaming, and it sounded different enough then the other bands out there that i wouldnt call them a direct ripoff of another band. not sure i'd buy the CD, but i'd catch a show or something..

methinks its just me though..

Eh, it was no more diverse or eclectic than any other scene music.

I did dig it though.

However, I still think the "scene" is stupid as hell.

Open minded enough to listen all the way through.

However, completely bored to tears at the end. The whole thing sounds watered down, no reall aggression or hint of any torture, just bland music by the numbers, and trying to differentate themselves from being bland by putting in a jokey mid section.

Verdict:

- How the hell did they get signed (if they are)?

I'm all for people doing the music that they want but I just couldn't get into that to save my life.

Fuck that was gay.

'I bet my hair looks good in the camera, i really wish i could get laid by ME, I LOVE ME LOOK AT MY FRINGE'

Looks aside, that was noise, not music. Nothing imaginative in anyway.
