Morning the Memory-United we Fall Song

The new Norma Jean album is really good. The last Gwen Stacy album is great too, though at times is a bit too A Static Lullaby-ish

Static lullabyish...... yikes lol

Never got into Norma Jean, something about their wacky unorthodox tempo always turned me off.

RE: Gwen Stacy - I didn't mean to turn you off by the Static comparison. They are sort of that perfect middle ground, not quite as rough and directionless as, say, Atreyus first album, but with (appropriate) melodies where applicable (but to be fair, there are definitely a few LOLStaticLullaby moments...). They sorta remind of a more melodic Every Time I Die.

Re: Norma Jean - I had their first album, and I remember liking it, but never really gave it much thought. This one, however, is *really* good. I dunno what it is, maybe (to use the term again) they found some direction.

Hardcore isn't really my specialty. Whats good out there that you've been listening to? I think I heard a rumor that there's a new Raised Fist album coming out soon, which will be epic as always.

My favorite bands/albums right now are

August Burns red "Messengers" Fucking amazing from start to finish.

Parkway Drive (both full length albums)

All that Remains (new track for second album is aces)

Emmure "goodbye to the gallows" kind of a wierd band almost can be described as a hardcore version of the deaftones (and I mean very hardcore)

The first Destroy the Runner album

The first Still Remains album

First two "As I lay Dying" albums

First two Unearth albums. They are recording a new one right now with the killswitch engage guitarist/producer Adam D, which typically means "Bad Ass"

I still think the greatest metalcore cd would be the first Unearth album LStings of conscience" re-recorded at the highest quality.

Yeah, that is pretty much my metalcore listening library for the most part, add in some "everytime I die" and a few good tracks from Darkest Hour to boot

I kind of wish all things "core" would go away.

OK, I listen to lots of stuff, I buy almost no music, I don't own a lot.
I went and Youtube'd Raised Fist out of curiosity. Fierce musicians but, really, listening to that voice on every song, same timbre and pitch, yikes.

How about hard"core" porn?

What about the core of the earth?

Thanks for your valuable discreptive input on the subject I didn't know "core" was such a horrible thing and now you have converted me to the anti core status.

Yeah fuck core and all of its music pornagraphy and it helping the earth exist.

a quick dEad story of the past, circa 1987. We had an upstairs rehearsal studio in the legendary Rock Garden in San Jose, CA. A new group moved in next door to us. They were excruciatingly horrible, younger than us, maybe 19-21. They were tuned so low, growling horrible vocals. Their bass player would come over and talk to us, we were pretty sure he was a sociopath headed for incarceration. When asked he said their style was "grindcore", the first time I'd heard that term. They left. A few years later my brother saw this guy on the light rail, obviously homeless, talking openly incoherently about violence and such. So maybe metal doesn't always save lives:D

Oh man, you really burned me there. I'm guessing in the time between clicking on the very thread you made about hardcore music and reading my reply, you entirely forgot the context of my reply. I think that should legally qualify you as retarded.

My input is that all aspects of hardcore music are more focused on macho bravado and aggression than the music or talent or well-written songs, so liking metalcore over pure metal from a musical standpoint is ridiculous.

As far as expecting it to be valuable, welcome to the internets. I am a human, like you, not a robut, but I will disagree with you at times. Should you ever feel the need to declare to the world that you like something, do not be surprised if anyone disagrees with you. This is normal. Luckily, there are niche websites where you can carry on conversations with like minded people. For example, if you want to just talk about how hardcore music is awesome without anyone disagreeing with you, doing so in a podcasting forum is the (take a note here) wrong way to go about it. Instead, look for a hardcore music forum. I know that might be an unfathomable leap of logic, but just trust me.

I hope I have been informative.
