^I gave it a proper listen. I gave it many proper listens. It is that bad. Sorry. I still can listen to other albums, depending on which.

And WAIT youre saying that this album "isnt that bad" then you compare it to the Scissor Sisters? Hah, well what does that tell you... But yes, the original post was slightly messed up. Starting a thread on how a band 'sold out'? Not a good idea. Specially in this case. They didnt sell out, in fact they barely sold at all. It was just a bad album, especially compared to others.

that genre only exists in your head...

yea, they've had better stuff in the past, but c'mon i think the album is great, maybe you guys jus dnt like that fact that Shadows isnt screaming, but yea bad idea to start a thread on how a band "sold out" even thought they didnt, thats when people start to argue and get into pointless bickering.

Ive heard the term pop metal...in reference to hair metal though..

pop metal? is that anything like Glam? ie poison, bon jovi, etc?

Yeah motley crue all that.

hey you dipsh*t, Shadows had surgery on his vocal chords so he cant do those crazy vocals anymore. he trashed em making some good hardcore metal. if you even knew one thing about metal you would know that they are what other bands should strive to be like. not what other bands should steer clear of. so check your facts next time bud. people like you make me sick, you tear down a bands good name without knowing the sacrifices they made for thier fans. and those people who got A7X tatooed onto them should be proud to bare that insignia not disdainful of it.

hmm. settle down otherwise you'll be getting banned shortly.:)

Shutup. Its not just the vocals that are bad on this album. The music is just.. bland. Ive listened to it enough times now, and Im still glad I didnt waste any money on buying it.
Sometimes bands change for the better, but not in this case. In my opinion anyway, which in the end, is what a lot of music is down to. Opinion.

lol i just joined to yell at this idiot. ban me if you'd like : P
