Her version ended up doing a lot better than his, which I'm sure pissed him off no end.

Missed this post at first, somehow.

I'm not so sure that's true. I'm really curious about what music you like now, so if you have a list or something...

Holy crap there's a lot of stuff in there. Now I know what I'll be spending the next couple hours on.

Can you believe they still play this **** on the radio?

when did this become the "frownland ****s on everything qwertyy likes" thread

**Frownland** · 07-08-2017, 03:17 PM

Same time as it became the "Qwertyy realizes some of his taste sucks thread".

I like the Deftones song Knife Party a heck of a lot, but otherwise not really a band I'm too excited about. Small doses work well for me.

I see a lot of what has influenced my favorite band, Dir En Grey, in that Deftones song.
That probably means Frownland would hate Dir En Grey too.
In fact I suspect most people in here would hate them.

I find them a pretty boring band though. Their debut was so disappointing to me since they had these great melodies and this great aesthetic, but at the same time, the singer was just a really weak version of a young King Diamond, without any of the vocal power. I wanted to like Ghost, but they fell flat from the start for me.

Their other albums just moved even further away from what little I liked about them in the first place.

Yeah **** Ghost for exactly the same reasons. It's like dad metal.

I used to love that album, but now they're likewise dull as ****. And all their other albums are even worse. I can still dig "Rays on Pinion" though.

**Frownland** · 07-08-2017, 03:21 PM

King dull.

Staind is possibly even more dull than Nickelback and Creed.

Devin Townsend's various projects are always frustrating to me.
I love his voice, hate his production style and find his compositions to sit somewhere in between.
