exactly...i love almost all of their cds...i thought their new one was really good until it started to get waaaaayyyy too much airplay...and then i went to their concert and they played the first 40 min of it in order. I was really pissed about that...if i wanted to hear the new cd in order i would've just listened to the damn cd

The format is weird to me because i really like some of their stuff like on your porch and career day...but the majority of their interventions and lullaby's cd i think is terrible...

Well, they got an interesting sound...somebody let me copy their "Interventions and Lullabies" album and I kinda like it.  You like "The First Single"?  That's the main song off the album that I keep listening to.

I don't like that song at all actually lol...the only ones I really enjoy are on your porch and career day...give it up and sore thumb are decent tracks too...the rest i dont really like...

they have an EP called Snails thats pretty good...it has an acoustic version of On Your Porch thats incredible...you can hear Nate Ruess' voice really well...he changes the style up from how it sounds on the album. its amazing.

Also they have a new album coming out called "Dog Problems"...I have an ep they released as kind of a pre album promo...its called Live from the living room...and its all acoustic tracks from the new cd...its pretty good

Nate Ruess' voice is definitely their defining feature of the band. He has a great voice

nirvana is so rediculously overrated. their music wasn't even that good. kurt cobain was an idiot. and everyone worships him because he's dead. he's the 2pac/biggie/big pun of rock music.


FUCK NIRVANA

I agree Kurt was an idiot, I have no forgiveness for a man taking his life and leaving a child without a dad, but I think he was extremely talented.  A lot of times people think pop sensibilities are useless and make you a sellout, but ultimately Kurt was very, very good at what he did, write songs that connected with a certain group of youth who will always love him for that.  Very talented musician, it's a shame he left so soon, he would have had years to contribute.

Well to be fair we never got to see how great his pop sensibilities were. Bleach didn't really have any great pop melodies and the few that In Utero had were either a re-used Smells Like Teen Spirit (Rape Me) or a decent but not amazing All Apologies. Nevermind had Teen Spirit which is undeniable asa pop classic but the rest of the album doesn't come close to that with regards to pop sensibilities. Come As You Are is close, but not quite, plus it lifts it's guitar riff from an older song.

Which is just a misspelled way of writing "homosexual".

No, really.  Look @ the pictures, they all look like what you'd see in a gay bar.  not that I've been in a gay bar.  Just seen them on television.  Maybe they model television gay bars after what rock bands wore in the 80's and 90's.  Fuck that, look at Billie Joe Armstrong, am I the only one who notices he has makeup all over his face?

i wouldn't say their gay at all...in fact they get beautiful women...my buddy is the lead singer of a punk/emo band...they are getting somewhat big and girls flock to him like crazy and he loves it...though he doesnt ever wear make up he does do the trademark emo kid style...girl pants
