City of Caterpillar are one of the most well known and highly respected Screamo bands around.

Saetia "an edgy saosin?" Their "lyrics all sound trite and pop punkish?" Are you out of your mind? Have you even listened to Saetia?

They aren't even my favorite Screamo band, but you have to at least respect that they're incredibly talented.

I would agree that Circle Takes the Square are better than Saetia. Maybe not 'instrument-talent-wise' , but for the fact that I can sit and listen through all of As the Roots Undo, and I cannot say the same for a Retrospective, even though both CDs are great. Don't get me wrong, I love Saetia too, but CTTS just does it more for me I guess.

Besides the fact that Oberst is a talentless hack, he really has nothing to do with this conversation. Not only that, but Jets To Brazil are by far my favorite Emo band.

And Saetia write whiny, Hawthorne Heights style lyrics? Oh, please, I dare any Pop/Rock band to come up with this...

Forget the broken backed stretch across a painted
Background you've never experienced
Forget the lazy days of daydream departure to faraway
Laughs you've never heard
Forget the backwards walk through liminal windows you
Never knew existed

Forget the bells tolling an hour of redemption, a
Minute of fancy you've never been given
Forget the love letters penned by sad faced boys
You've never met
Forget the unwritten, uncollected works of the poet
You never were

well at least we both agree on oberst and JTB but i think that lines like "scratch my back and i will stab you in yours" "dance to the sound of his weight bearing back ****ing breaking" and "my genes didnt bless me with the foresight of a sage" are much better than lines like "when did we begin" "there is no happy here" or "i have seen an end to you and I'' any pop/rock band can write that

Maybe if you stopped picking Saetia's most boring, typical lyrics you would have an easier time making that distinction. Every line a band writes isn't going to be perfect, you're making an unfair comparison.
