Emo overload.

Put some real punk on there, it saves lives.

[GoGo Yubari]

Alkaline Trio is good. Everything else, not so much.

Well, there's this crazy thing going around called appreciating good music. Weird huh?

Alright, all joking aside, alexis isn't for everyone. Most people just see it as a bunch of noise, but if you get past it, it's actually really awesome to listen to. Besides that, chances are the only songs you've heard are the ones they play on MuchMusic, so you haven't heard it all. I can't make you like it, but I can ask you to give it a try. Track downa copy of the CD and listen to it all the way through unbiased. Then tell me what you think of it. You might not like it, but I assure you that you won't call it pure crap.

Midtown is tight. They've recently become one of my favorite current bands.

[Guest elJoJo]

Are Alexisonfire the ones who all look like nerds who scream? Or are they the ones who's lead singer look like a women and ripped off STP for a video?

[Big Tuna]

Nerds who scream. I like the music, but vocals are bad.

[RPS]

Chances are if they didn't scream, everyone would hate them.

If they didn't scream, they'd sound like everyone else.

I like the video where they're all playing with the children, but then the singer just goes nuts and just wrecks a pogo stick for no fucking reason. It's hilarious, yet scary at the same time.

"Screamo" (as the pundits want to call it) is an interesting genre. It shares a lot in common with thrash metal, truth be told, as the screaming melodies are an interesting -- but often off-center -- twist on the accepted alternative bunch. Musically, the bands are often tight and very talented, with structures that are logical but also inventive. It's the vocals that ultimately set apart the songs, but oftentimes turn me away, as it somewhat ruins the vibe of the music that accompanies it.

[Greg The Smooth]

Alexisonfire and Thrice are the only good bands on that list.

Don't know who said that if AOF didn't scream it wouldn't be popular, Watch Out, their new album came out on June 8 in Canada. It has everything to be a breakout album. Less screaming, more melodic. They said to the press that they feel the Sell Out chants coming already but Georges said that it wouldn't have been right to do a second copy of their first album & he didn't feel that screaming on all song would have been great. All this to say, let's close this topic right now & we'll watch how thing unfold in a couple of months for them.

I've been a fan of Alexisonfire for a very long time.

And I like their new album. Defintely not a "sell-out" album. I would call them sell-outs if they stopped screaming and sounded like Sum 41, Simple Plan, Good Charlotte, etc. But they are still something that is very different for a mainstream audience.

For all those on here who never said they've listened to Senses Fail, I highly reccommend you find a way to listen to a little song called. "The Irony Of Dying On Your Birthday" or something along those lines, because when I got it it was mislabeled as Martini Kiss. If you guys like alexisonfire then you'll definatly like this more organized stuff. Senses Fail is a great band period, both their new and old album.
