And even though we’re only a little more than halfway through the year, I’m inclined to agree.
Here’s video proof (and reason #1 why I’m not a big fan of “screamo”):
Did you make it all the way through?
And here’s the biting – and right-on-the-money – article from EW.com.
Definitely did not make it all the way through — waited to hear one chorus and then shut the dang thing down. The first 0:45 were pretty tight, but that vocalist makes the whole thing sound like roadwork.
Yup. I made it to the end. I have less problem with the song/cover or even the genre. I have a problem with the fact that they're just a carbon copy of 1,000 other Hot Topic angst bands to listen to while holding, not necessarily reading, Twilight or Nietzsche. Which is to say — I got old.
I actually didn't mind the guy singing the chorus. The dude "singing" the verses was another matter
All the way. And I acrtually liked it before the 1st vocalist came on, and enjoyed the 2nd vocalist too. The screaming was more boring than painful.
Scared! That's all I can say.
There'd be room for a fair cover here if you ditched the verses lyricist, or just got him to tone it back about five notches to the chorus man's level. Then it becomes a solid Power-pop version.
Horrible, Horrible , Horrible , Horrible , Horrible ,Horrible ,Horrible ,Horrible ,Horrible ,Horrible ,Horrible ,Horrible ,Horrible ,Horrible , another example of a mind being a terrible thing to waste
I assume this isn't supposed to be funny, but I can't stop laughing.
I agree that the chorus actually sounds decent. They're not bad when they aren't screaming.
Well, Not a big fan of SYNTH-TUNED vocals, as used in the chorus, made them sound like BLACK LAB at that point, but the versus were just a hint of what SCREAMO could be, and usually is. Unfortunately, you could easily discern the lyrics, unlike most SCREEAM-OH!
Also, the actual VIDEO looks like they tried to make their own version of an iPOD commercial, sans shillouette and funky backgrounds.
Bottom line: yawn…….
what a turd.
