I know it is tough Jeff, but try to keep the blade away from your skin. You can make it through another day!

Well put my good man, well put
And I actually find the arrangement to be too dense in many spots, mainly because I often feel the vocal melodies don't always fit with what the instrumentation is doing, and they really abuse those 16th note arps IMO. And my GOD those vocals are gay, I'm sorry, there's really no other way to put it
But FTR, I've never liked Warrel Dane either However, that first solo in the song Damian posted was damn impressive, but honestly, haven't all of us heard so fucking many talented guitarists in our time that technical skill counts for shit? I know that's the case with me anyway, unless it's one SERIOUSLY talented guitarist (Eklundh, Loomis, Nilsson, etc.) And mega-lulz at the N64-synth orchestra part at the end of the song

See, the funny thing is I actually don't mind that as much, because at least the vocals fit there IMO

Ah man if you guys start ragging on Amity Affliction in the same thread... hahah. Love both of these bands to bits. So sick of typical growls/screams in everything, completely overdone and annoying. It's like a placeholder for creativity at this point.
Writing Nick off as just another technical shredder is ridiculous as well, Marcus. His phrasing is stupidly good, regardless of what you think of his bands music.
The 'djent' comments are completely lost on me, as well - how is any of IAA's stuff 'djent'??

Well that wasn't really my intention, but I can understand how it came off that way - I was more responding to Greg's comment, and like I said, I did enjoy that first solo in the song Damian posted (though I wasn't crazy about the solo in the OP song because of too many, you guessed it, 16th-note arps/runs
). But yeah, I of course haven't heard enough to really judge

Lover of all boobage.
Yeah I don't like it.
I made it through the whole song though, I thought it deserved an entire listen before judgment.

"those vocals are gay"
sigh.
come on guys, there are many things in the world more gay than singing.....lighten up.

Ughhhhh I can't bear this hahahaha... definitely not my cup of tea... In my opinion the vocals are awful and it sounds like it's trying to appeal to the mainstream a little too much. Definitely would not listen to this again.
BUT that's only my opinion. Bias aside, it does have a technical quality to it. I can't ever really like it, but I can see why you or other people would. To be fair, I do like the part without the "clean" vocals (6ish seconds haha).

Cool music, but they should have a better singer in terms of originality, Sounds like every american out there.

I like the lead guitar playing a lot, and I also like Joey's production and synth stuff... but the vocals can definitely be too poppy/girly/annoying for me at times. It doesn't HAVE to be growls/screaming. There are plenty of bands with clean singing that sounds much more mature / less whiney to me.
