Trivium bothers me

[Genius Gone Insane]

I can't put my finger on it, but they bother me for some reason. I like their riffs, their vox are ok, good songwriting. But they're annoying somehow. Anyone else feel me on this? Granted, I am GGInsane, soooo....

 

[MetalJonesy]

yer i have the same feeling towards em, but its grown since first hearing them, at first i dug their sound and approach but now, i dunno i dont know what it is either ¯\(°_o)/¯

 

[Chryst Krispies]

NATURAL PRODUCTION IS ALL LIES.

 

[Genius Gone Insane]

¯\(°_o)/¯ I'm not trying to hate on them, I want to like their music, there's just something about it I really don't get and it bothers me.

 

[Eddy]

I think I'm on the same page with you GGI. I've listened to some of their stuff, studio and live (when they opened for Maiden), but for some reason I just can't get myself to like them. And I've no idea why.

 

[SocialNumb]

¯\(°_o)/¯ do nothing for me. Sounds like some high gain guitars, some fast drums and some dude screaming. Not my thing at all. ¯\(°_o)/¯

 

[Eddy]

Pretty much the same for me. I usually get at least some sort of feeling from music, be it positive or negative, but Trivium... Nothing. And to quote Monty Python: "I mean - what have you got to lose? You know, you come from nothing - you're going back to nothing.
What have you lost? Nothing!" ¯\(°_o)/¯

I couldn't tell you why they bother you. I really get off on their music, personally.

Could be they have a definite metalcore streak, if you're not a -core person might annoy you a bit.

 

[Jaymz]

Its their pretty boy image that does it for me.

 

[Methadrenal]

What pretty boy image?!?!

 

[Jaymz]

What pretty boy image?!?!

Look at the god damn bassist.

 

[MetalJonesy]

im a core dude, love the deathcore metalcore shit, but just cant latch onto their most recent stuff, even though i do dig it, the crusade was a pile of wank, shogun sounds decent, i need to give it a few more listens, but i wud rather listen to acendency.

 

[Loren Littlejohn]

Yep I feel ya.

 

[Cyanide_Anima]

ascendency has some good songs. after that their egos ruined theor music. by now if they knicked themselves shaving, they'd bleed doo doo.

 

[Genius Gone Insane]

Again, I'm not trying to bash them, because IMO they're not bad, and I'd rather hear them than most music that's out there. I think it might be just that they're just not angry enough or something. Now I sound like a tool lol....

I dunno, just another thought. I mean, the vox are good, and kinda heavy, very Hetfield-ish during his heyday but they're not PISSED like his vox used to be. Like genuinely pissed off. Like Children--Children's got that same thrash attitude but Alexi is real pissed off and drunken sounding when he sings. Trivium's missing that. I think that's part of it. Whatever. Again, not trying to hate. It's genuinely been bothering me for a while now. ...JC, why am I spending my Friday night writing this shit???

 

[Metaltastic]

Modern American metal = utter crap? I'd say so!

 

[Morgan C]

Modern American metal = utter crap? I'd say so!

Agreed.. seems all generic and conservative. The Europeans aren't afraid to go to the extremes of rhythm and melody, and the result is a thousand times better.

 

[lekteri]

Yep I feel ya.

Backstreets Boys.

 

[JoeJackson]

I know I sound like an ass but ... to me Trivium fucked up with getting their Dean-Endorsement (the bassist is a BC Rich-Endorser-right?). To me only very few people can go on stage with those über-extremely-spikey guitars without making themselves looking like they "try too hard". And the Trivium-guys are definitly NOT on this list.

I don't know. That ruined their whole picture as a "cool" band.

 

[Notuern]

Everytime i hear Trivium i notice this smell, you know, a nice warm puddle of puke that reeks up the place something fierce?
Thats what i think about Trivium.
