I don't like them either. I just didn't hear any difference. I could listen to a thousand bands like this; The Agonist didn't stand out to me in any way, at least on that song.

To me, the thing that I really like about The Agonist (their current iteration, like mentioned) is how musically solid they are. I really think they have a very good drummer, a very good bassist and two very good guitarists, all of whom add a lot of musicality and flair to what might otherwise be some fairly standard songs. There's especially a lot of the drum playing and the bass playing in the posted track that I find to be far above the level found in somewhat similar bands. I have come to quite like the singer as well, but the musicians are the real secret to why I love this band.
In This Moment, in contrast, have really bad, sub-cookie cutter music and pretty much not a single talented member. BUT, anyway. If I'm allowed to make another suggestion at a later date, I'll have to think harder about what I choose. I'd actually like it to be something you'd enjoy. |

I listened to a BOC album in my "Love or Hate?" thread, and I was totally bored by it. I listened to this track and I was totally bored by it.

Another thing I'm going to do here - to kind of give a sense of purpose, direction or final destination to this thread, assuming it doesn't die a death - is to add up the ratings for each genre or subgenre (look, I'm fed up writing that: can we just assume that when I say genre I also mean or subgenre?) and if I get over a certain figure (I'm thinking 100 but haven't decided) I will then consider myself interested enough to ask for a rec for an album from that genre. I'll keep that score table in the OP so we can see how each genre is impressing me, or not.

Might as well be the guy to tackle deathcore.
