I am not going to go into naming individual qualities, but i feel there overall sound is somewhat different than other bands.
To that im sure you will reply "Well they sound like every other mainstream band now." In retort to that, i will just say this. I have not listened o many other bands in which I enjoy there lyrics as much as i do Chevelle's. Also i can not think of ONE of band that has that same sound as they do. The closest i can think of is Tool/Perfect circle, which is similar sounding because it is there main influence. edit: Also i like there broad ariety of sounds throughout there albums/songs. Songs like Panic Prone, Bend the Bracket are a nice hange from the usual faster heavier sound. Then there are faster moving songs with what i think are very good drum beats such as Another Know It All and Brainiac. There are many other different varieties which i will not go into now, but i encourage you to give them another chance if you are judging them based soley off thre single or bigger songs such as the Rd and Vitamin R which are by far not the best songs they have put out.

1. Many of the beats in here last 3 records are very creative. (at least in my opinion, coming from 8 years of drumming) gallops..etc 2. The singing/vocals are thought out much more than most other bands. ex: The singer NEVER rhymes because he feels that takes away from the lyrics creating only a catchy song that has no sustenance. 3. Have not directly copied any other bands in there sound. And i don't think labeling them as "just another numetal band" is fair or does them any justice at all. If you'd like i will make this list even longer. But for times sake i will stop. edit: And to reverse it and put you in my position, how about Elliott Smith. I think he is just another average singer/songerwriter/multi instrumentalist. There were people such as Conor Oberst that came out with music before him that sound VERY similar, therefore making Elliott Smith just another average musician. And keep in mind this isnt trying to Bash your taste or anything like that, just to help clear up the point i am trying to make

And this is just taking them from their hits, in Red they rhyme again with again. Chevelle not only rhyme, but they rhyme in a very standard format and uncreative manner. So far your points have amounted to nothing. The Vocals aren't original in any manner, he's just borrowing Maynard's quiet/loud vocal style. Quote:

So not only does the point you're making hold no ground because I've only talked about certain points in their careers being original but they don't even sound alike and you obviously had no clue what you were talking about. |

I did not say "good drumming" do not misquote me. I said creative also known as original. I will say it again many of the beats used are not found in any of these bands you stated "Three Days Grace, Finger Eleven, Staind, Cold, Breaking Benjamin, Trapt".
Except for the few instances where there is "ryhmes" which i hardly consider that, you have not proved anything. I do not feel the singing is at all similar to ANY of the bands you listed, all of which i have heard much of. (i think rarely having this happen is almost unavoidable anyways) Also you did not address the point made about Elliot Smith... which puts you in the EXACT same boat as me, left trying to defend yourself against someone who has completely different musical tastes. edit: You are one of the few people on here i do enjoy arguing/debating with. (Unlike a good deal of people with "superior" taste)

First off you don't have to be a jack^ss while arguing your side of this. With that aside...
I strongly disagree with the Coner Oberst sounding different, and yes i have listened to almost everything they have both put out. I do not like Elliot Smith but i still have his first album from 1994 up till his recent 2007 release. And yes Conor Oberst did come before him... His solo album was released a year before Elliot Smiths in 1993. (Water) Example: YouTube - Elliott Smith - Whatever ( Folk Song in C ) LIVE < Elliot Smith YouTube - Conor Oberst - Hubcap < Conor Oberst Sounds very similar to me, and thats one of many examples. yes difference in singing, with more screaming aggression coming from Oberst. But nothing you couldn't say as a difference between bands such as Chevelle and Stained. Edit: And to be honest, you obviously do not give bands such as Chevelle an even remotly fair chance before judging them right off the bat.

You realize that unreleased solo "album" was a preteen Conor Oberst yelling into a friend's four track right? It sounded nothing like anything Elliott did and if it wasn't for the internet or Bright Eyes no one would even knew or cared it existed. So if you're going to consider that Conor started before Elliott than it should be pointed out Elliott also had an unreleased material from his high school days with a band called Stranger Than Fiction and there was also A Murder of Crows, The Greenhouse and Heatmiser all of which pre-dated Conor's "album." |

Before i go off talking about this, which i most certanly will, in time, answer this question since it is the entire reason we are arguing in the first place.
How do Chevelle and Staind sound SO similar?
