I didn't know people hated Norma Jean so much, well, atleast the new stuff. Anyone ever listen to We Came As Romans? They are hella awesome.

Eh, I was never a huge fan of Norma Jean but I did jam out Bless The Child for a long time. We Came as Romans is ok. They try to do the scream/sing really high, scream/ sing really high/ growl. thing too much. They need to find the nitch and stray away from the basic metalcore. The classical keys are a nice touch. I feel like they can progess into something good if they apply themselves and get with the right people professionally.

I have to agree that I think metalcore as a genre has become ultimately repetitive and thus very bland... But I also have to agree that Memphis Will Be Laid To Waste is a sick song and covering it with my old band of pseudo-core dudes was the most fun I had in that band. I think Underoath's Act of Depression album is the only good one... For some reason almost every Underoath fan I've met hates it. I saw them once live and thought they sucked, but then, they never play AoD songs anymore obviously. The Christianity aspect is really a non-issue with me... I rarely pay attention to the lyrics in these bands in any case, usually because you can't understand them and they rarely have any creative value IMO. That said, Destroy The Runner is pretty excellent with their clean lyrics and melodic lines. They are somewhat of a guilty pleasure with me. No real breakdowns in their music either.

Kind of a pointless post but whatever.

I almost agree with everything you just posted there. Destroy the Runner is one of my favorites right now, I listen to both their albums frequently. I really liked how much they grew between Saints and I, Lucifer, I think they are going to go some places.

I don't quite agree with the statement that hardcore/metal bands lyrics don't have any creative value. If you take the time to listen to the song and concentrate on understanding the lyrics primarily, they're not hard to understand. The lyrics, especially those written by "Christian" bands, I usually find to be the most creative with their wording.

So I am like, really into As I Lay Dying. Ever since I heard the breakdown in I Never Wanted. I'm hooked on them now. Nothing Left is an amazing song.

Im suprised to see that this is the first mention of AILD in this thread. What An amazing band. 94 hours just might be the greatest metalcore song ever. Seen them live with Zao. What an amazing show. Also older haste the day is good **** too. Blue 42 is just an epic song.
