What exactly is it with RATM you don't like? Is it that the band are seen as just a front for Zack's rants or does their music bore you?

If RATM bores Urban than I don't know why the fuck he listens to post-rock. Zack's political rants are kinda cliche though.

I can't even fathom what this is supposed to mean. Post-Rock is one of the most suspenseful exciting genres of music ever while RATM meet all the criteria for boring frat-tard rock.

As far as album length, I think 12 songs is perfect. To me its the standard length, and is niether too short nor too long, 45 minutes, 12 songs.

And I see what you mean with some albums, when its more than 15 songs (assuming it breaches the 45-50 minute mark), it gets tedious. It takes me a long time to get to listen to the other half of those albums, even if I like them.

Guess you're not a big fan of Agoraphobic Nosebleed? Their one album is 100 songs, but only about 20 minutes.

One of the only albums that seriously got me winded listening to was Godspeed You Black Emperor!'s Lift Your Skinny Fists Like Antennas to Heaven, with ninety minutes and winding tracks kind of diminishes over time.

grindcore is an exception considering most of the songs are under one minute i could listewnto a 100 track grindcore album

Brad Stengel · 09-30-2008, 02:02 PM

I concur, grindcore is a huge exception.

Or you could go the way of Green Carnations 'Light Of Day, Day Of Darkness' which is just one track at just over an hour. It's a great album too.

Both.
It's hard to explain just what I hate about the music. It's like it's too sterile for lack of a better word. When listening to this type of stuff I like a bit of dirt and a bit of rawness. All the stuff i've heard from this band has neither to me it just sounds like a radio friendly produced Helmet.

As for their politics , I put them on the same level as some kid signing up to this forum and saying stuff like 'I hate Bush lol'

I just cannot take them seriously
