Fav. Album of 2011

[James Butts]

Space Vampires vs zombie dinosaurs in 3d by psychostick, thier funniest album yet, I LOVE PSYCHOSTICK!

 

[HobbeBrain]

Don't really have one to be honest... maybe Awesome As F**k? Do live albums count? If not then Space Vampires Vs Zombie Dinosaurs in 3D

 

[Firis]

Leveler by August Burns Red and Children of Fire by Oh, Sleeper were also amazing albums that came out this year

 

[Hermit]

The last album I purchased was a box set from the rapper "Faggot Bruce", so I'm not exactly an album expert.

Edit: Oh yeah I bought Jon Lajoie's album too.

Would have to be Blink 182 - Neighbourhoods. Only thing I dislike is that they still sing about being a teenager, or early 20's.. And they're all in their 30's.

 

[Lorelai]

Deadmau5????

But yeaah I was a huge Blink fan when I was younger. It does feel odd when bands with gimmicks, like Blink singing about highschool/college life and acting like immature teens, get older and really have nothing else to fall back on, so you have 30-40 year olds acting like teenagers.

You like Blink 182? Didn't think you'd be the sort...

 

[D3m190d]

Screw all those bands! Melodeath ftw!

I used to love this song when I was younger

I still think the intro is totally groovy.

 

[Arseface]

Screw all your bands. Jazz is where it's at.

 

[Tsuyu]

Pfft. Jazz is ancient. Didn't Mozart compose that stuff?

Haha, nice.... I'm not actually that into Blink 182 though, I mean, they're a good band, i don't dislike them at all, I just never really got into them, their style is a bit out of my zone.... or maybe the reason I don't like them is because all my friends have a pathological hatred of them. Either way, I don't really listen to them that much.

Nah, pretty sure Mozart invented Dubstep.

 

[D3m190d]

Nah, Mozart didn't write crap.

Do I like jazz now?

 

[D3m190d]

Do I like jazz now?

Hobbe, you can't jazz. :troll:

 

[HobbeBrain]

Hobbe, you can't jazz. :troll:

Well played... well played.

Used to love Blink back from 2000-2006 or so. I always liked their poppier easier to sing stuff, I felt like the whole somber thing never really suited them (well, except for Adam's Song and a select few others).
Unless it was a heartbreak song...Going Away to College anyone?
I grew to love anything Takeoff your Pants and Jacket and prior but after that I just didn't see enough to be worth getting familiar with.

They half lost me on their last pre-hiatus album because of the new darker tone in most of the songs. I listened to it I don't know how many times and I couldn't name more than 3 tracks from it versus most all from albums that came before.
Now that their new album is the darkest yet, they've lost me completely.

Message to the band:
You're all billionaires and late 90's-early 2000's pop icons. Stop pretending like you've had to deal with anything half as morose as what you're writing since the start of the glory days and get back to writing what you know: poppy tracks that the masses can relate to. The emo listening market is pretty dry these days. They got replaced with hipsters and you guys are far too mainstream to have a market there, let me tell you.

I'm all for them deciding themselves what they should play, based on what they want to play, rather than what you want them to play. Of course, I don't know what they actually want to play, but for me, if I ever get to make money with my music, I'll decide what I'm gonna write based on what I like to play, rather than what makes more money.
