  • I Must Be Emo! (anybody remember that song?)

    by jermrb on December 14, 2009
    By the way, ive been really into the whole emo/screamo genre lately. Chiodos is definitely one of my favorite bands overall, but lately ive been getting into some others. Ive really taken a liking to Alesana. I also like some Devil Wears Prada songs. Peirce the Veil is OK. Ive been listening to a lot of the Decemberunderground album from AFI, which is the only album by them I would even faintly consider emo. You can complain all you want about the high pitched voices, but i really dont mind them. I also think theyve got some pretty good lyrics, at least when they dont write exclusively about girls. And they dont i have the repetitive power chord song structure that plagues most popular music these days. Also, i really do not consider myself emo (others may disagree, but whatever).

  • Changing tastes

    by jermrb on December 14, 2009
    So its amazing how much my favorite songs change in just a year or two. On ultimate-guitar.com i did a review for a hinder album two years ago, now i really could care less about hinder. but also my favorite group of songs changes almost every month. I stopped picking my favorite band and song a long time ago because it changes too much. Although im not sure if anything will ever beat the houses of the holy album from led zeppelin, but than again I compare it to AEnima from tool and I get confused. Which one do I like more? Theyre both pretty different, but i love them both. Sigh, pointless ramblings, but it needed to be said.
