God I fucking HATE that kind of music. The rediculous flood of those kinds of bands played a huge part in me giving up on playing in a serious band. That shit makes me want to bash my face against a wall. Not so much that it sucks, as I kind of liked the first 2 or 3 bands that I heard with that style, but because there is absolutely zero difference between bands. I remember going to local shows and standing outside (because most of the bands sucked), and the only way you could tell that a new band was on was by the "super long gap between songs". Like "dang these guys are still on? Oh wait, these guys have a different name." I'm sure they're some cool dudes and all, but jeez us. It seems like a record label could just sign one band, pay some others for rights to their songs, and have the signed band go on a one-band tour, playing like 3 to 4 sets a night, with wardrobe changes in between. The singer could introduce a new scream each set, to sort of fool the audience into thinking it was a different band. The guitarists could throw in extra sweeps on a certain set to make people think they were more "techy".
Ok sorry for the rant. To get back on topic, all those booms don't surprise me at all given the genre. It seems any and all cliches are fair game and actually encouraged nowdays.
but that's just another opinion.
