Eh.. they're alright but I don't like them. How come their '04 album doesn't have any vocals? I think their older stuff sounded better. Where are they from? I forgot to check.
dude all i can say is that all of this is a learning experiance for the band and myself, i am not in the band but am friends with them..when i found out that theres alot of trickery in music thats mainstream, i was pissed,protools bullshit,,pro fools, i give credit to those that can come together and put together a finished product thats sounds bad ass..and still be able to outperform the cd at a live show.With just the little amount that i do know, there is no reason that if a band is truely a good band, then they should be able to capture the natrual sound of every drum hit and natrual actual vocals, not replace them with triggerd samples, come on now wheres the soul in that, artisicly its great it shows you can mix and just mixing pre-recorded sounds isnt truly making music but merly just shaping it ,,,,
What the hell is wrong with Pro Tools? Using pro tools doesn't mean your band has no talent. Pro Tools is just another element in the new era of songwriting. Triggered samples are another element of the music. Linkin Park uses both, and I'll tell you. They outpreform their CDs live. That's just like saying Peter Frampton has no talent because he uses a voice modulater thing and doesn't make the guitar talk by itself.
all i am saying is that if your using samples you might as well be a jessica simpson or milli vanilly.. sure it takes a talent to put them all together, but what kind of musician are you if you cant record ....i am not dissin l.p. at all.. but its not metallica's st.anger...L.P. would be in the ranks of say New Order, Or Ministry, but if they could duplicate a consistant sound with no samples, that would put them in the ranks of metallica.... sure its all mixed and mastered, but what is society really buying into? i signed the petition to stop jessica simpson, cause its fake...and if you listen to older rock..when they didnt have all the modern tools, you know that was real and with emotion.and its hard to get away from that....i dont belive in bying into a fake sound, thats why i download all the modern music for free, givin an opportunity to show how real something is,, thats when i will be more than willing to go out and actually buy a cd.... i could sit here with any p2p program and get the programs that pro's pay 1,000's of $'s for and mix some shit but ,,im not into that ,,anyone could do that..
Their are thousands of types of music, and no set rules on how to do it. Some bands incorporate samples and such because it's a part of who they are, and what they create. It's not fake, it's character. I can tell you now, Faint and Figure.09 wouldn't exist without Rob's drum triggers. Also, signing a petition to stop somone singing is pointless. What are they going to do, mail her the petition and hope she doesn't sing ever again? Some people are fake, but samples and using computers doesn't make it fake.
i actually totally agree with you ...another angle i didnt look at.Dude faint is so much the shit...but why oh why is it only 2 minutes long?its so driving...
