Mick Same. I didn't mean "plastic" to sound bad at all so tried to break down what I meant. I think "plastic" describes 2000s pop rock production very well? Sometimes it works (Bleed American) other times it f***ing sucks (Shallow Life). 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I needed the Taylor's and the Carey's and the Killers in that time. I'm surprised you dislike Taylor so much, I see she and Hayley as very similar writers. Both crossover in style often. Some old biases die hard. I dislike her music because I've never found myself liking it. The older songs sound too much like Disney Channel for me to take seriously. ...yeah ik ik about literally the discussion we were just having about plastic mall emo. Idk, my sisters watched a lot of Disney Channel when we were kids and I would have groaned if a Taylor Swift song was played in a show vs a Paramore song, aside from maybe The Only Exception, though I wouldn't have batted an eye at either being played in the first place. The big hits when she started going really pop coincided with my entry into becoming a music nerd in those most snobby of early days (back when I didn't think anything post 1991 was worth listening to). I've cooled or flipped on most of those old opinions, but was one of the artists I disliked the most at the time, so those feelings have a lot of inertia to deal with. As for her newer stuff, Reputation came out right when my music taste was really broadening in a major way, so I checked the singles out and still wasn't enthused. I thought they were very interesting, but in the kind of way that made me want to examine why I thought they didn't work. I even did a parody of one of them for a school thing, just because I knew people would know it and I found it kinda of fascinating, even though I didn't particularly enjoy it. By the time Lover came out I was down a good few different other rabbit holes, and re-embracing top 40 pop just wasn't in the cards, plus I really hated ME (though I gather everyone did). And with her indie folk albums, I tried Folklore on your recommendation and didn't find it anything to write home about. I didn't hate it mind you. I just felt kinda bored. Maybe I'll revisit that one one day. Oh and as for the new one, well I haven't heard a note of it but there's so much hype in both directions that I don't really want to, at least not right now. My biases will just blow a fuse in my head. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Genuinely think the only way to improve Muse at this point is for the world to end, the hate for them extinguished by all trace of life ending once and for all.

Well either that or they actually do something with soul. Lol I mean look, I know exactly what you're talking about here. They were basically a different band before The Resistance. I think the difference honestly has been that major success brought them the studio time and resources to chase every crazy and every stupid musical idea to its logical conclusion, and that's a game all three of them really enjoy playing. They just don't have Fury and Take A Bow in them anymore, and I'm okay with that because I genuinely love hearing them goof off in the studio.

They are like a more esoteric Coheed And Cambria. They came out of the really creative side of 2000s emo (ignore the plastic emo of crap like Fall Out Boy, Paramore, All Americaan Rejects etc, the genre truly has highly talented, insanely overlooked bands). I shall delve deeper into Circa Survive over the holiday period. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Segue Myles Posted December 23, 2022 Share Posted December 23, 2022 Machine Head- The Burning Red In Flames- Come Clarity TBR really isn't bad. In fact of their pre- Ashes discography, I'd rank it second to Burn My Eyes. The rap elements don't cheapen the sound, which is very unusual in metal. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Segue Myles Posted December 23, 2022 Share Posted December 23, 2022 In Flames- Battles A bit of an odd one. I both love it to death and think it's one of their worst albums. So slick and commercial, it works, until you remember that In Flames are better than this. Great for emo fans. That's not a diss, it genuinely is.
