Bullet for My Valentine - Scream Aim Fire

I simply listened to them because I wanted to give them chances, like I do to most bands. I'm not expecting them to be PT or Angra either. Keep that in mind, you don't know me and you don't know what I expect or not from a band. In fact, most of the stuff I listen to has nothing to do with Angra or Porcupine Tree. Those who know me here (and some of my quite interesting musical tastes) know very well that if there's someone who takes bands for what they are, that person is me.

Again, I don't like them, but I actually took the time to "try it out." Lots of people in here crucify bands like Nickelback without knowing them, just for the simple fact that they're on the radio. You should "go after" those people.

Ditto on all accounts.

I watched about 5 or 6 BFMV videos trying to give them a chance and it all sounded so fake and emo.
