    N.E.R.D.'s new album "Fly or Die" is the best album that came out in the last 5 years. Or even the last 15. Yes, better than even the best of several abysmal Blink 182 CDs. Yes, better than every single pathetic effort Nirvana's made at striking a musical chord. Nothing compares.

    N.E.R.D. has one thing that I haven't heard on the radio for years... talent. Musicianship. Creativity. They write and they do it damn well. Not any of that 4 bar melody bullshit with a crappy improvised guitar solo in the middle. None of that shit. This is what music is supposed to sound like. Variation. Ternary form.

    And, as a bonus... BANDS THAT SUCK:

    Blink 182: Bad lyrics? Check. Unoriginality? Check. A feigned punk attitude? Check. Suck? Check.

    Avril Lavigne: This chick is, not only a bad writer, but a bullshitter besides.

    Franz Ferdinand: I suppose they're hot shit now, for whatever reason. I heard "Take Me Out" today and I noticed that the song lacked lyrics almost completely. Almost as shitty as the group that did "Maps".

    Techno/Trance/Electronica: Hey, let's make music, but without the melody! No. Please don't.

    Slipknot/Linkin Park: Crybabies. Crybabies that use the same melody in multiple songs, no less.

    Nelly: I hope it's getting hot under your fucking collar, because, thankfully, your career is going down the drain.

    I count six names and then an entire genre, containing thousands of artists, but maybe I'm counting incorrectly.

    Anywho, I've had the N.E.R.D. CD since it hit stores which was a few months ago.

    Well, I must admit that I slept at night, but I did listen to it during the day. Hell, it's been in my CD player since I got it. It's playing right now.

    you named six mainstream acts. We already know they are lame. They are the culture we attempt to counter.

    As for electronica, I much prefer organic instruments, but a few groups, Sound Tribe Sector Nine, Signal Path and Electric Skychurch are good.

    I can't imagine listening to one disc for weeks, and I play a new disc over and over myself.

    OK. You think that those musicians are "crap" well what if someone thinks that the "shit" you listen to is "shit"?


    What now? will you:

    A. Be a whiney bitch and say that they are wrong just because you have a different preference

    or wil you:

    B. Accept that each person has their own personal preference with music. Even if it is different to yours.

    Oh no not that.

    Individuality rules.

    I will:

    C. Explain to you that I was only expressing my own opinion, and you're overreacting.

    So why would you post "BANDS THAT SUCK"? That's beyond immature. Ive seen middle schoolers that have been more mature over stuff like this.

    I posted BANDS THAT SUCK because, according to me, they suck. That is my opinion and how I choose to present it. Why are you so upset? Did I name a group you like?

    LOL I should take musical advise from a 15 year old?!

    look kid, there are thousands of bands better than this one you like and worse than yours. Granted I'll give N.E.R.D. the benifit of the doubt, I've never heard of them. But just because you can't stand listening to the other types of music makes you the Professor of Knowlage?! LOL oh I needed a good laugh.

    Seriously though. This is the Hippy land (Hip Forums) we are all suppose to get along and not cause ripples. so what if you like one band over another, i would be more inclined to say "hey I got the new Nerd Album and it rocks (or raps or what ever) you guys ought to check them out". Instead you start dogging everyone elses music. Yeah I don't like most of those bands you mentioned (sans Nirvana), but like in real life there are going to be people who disagre with you so I let it roll. Now get mad and pissy because I pointed that out to you, I don't care it's just letters typed up on the screen. A big man would agree with what i said and retort his actions.

    But...

    If you want to be a bed wetting little punk that has asparations of nailing his sister in the back seat of a 1974 ford maverick while listening to N.E.R.D. then I suggest you go to a forum that will support your efforts. Here we all try our best to get along and we also have something called "Ignore".

    peace

    Even funnier that someone who's only 28 is calling me kid.

    Funnier still that this person would proclaim that I'm no "Professor of Knowlage" but can't spell knowledge or advice or aspirations or much of anything else.

    But, I respect that you feel differently than I do, even though you misread my post.

    Oh my Cat, your really just the life of the party today, huh?

    I'm not going to jump into any of that other shit, but bashing electronica. Hah! You don't know what electronica is. Note artists like Autchre, Aphex Twin, Squarepusher, Venetian Snares, Amon Tobin. People like this go beyond anything even remotely considered conventional; shit, N E R D is fucking child's play compared to what they compose.
    Pull your head out of your elitist ass for a moment and stop posting stupid shit.

    LOL so my intentional misspellings arent the only thing that annoys you than certain types of music. Big man, big man. At least you do have some respect, and I will give you props on that, kid.

    My friend is a Aphex fanatic and I have to listen to their horseshit "Creativity" whenever I'm in her car. Granted, they're some of the best in that genre, but they still suck.

    do you appreciate life or are youu going to grow old knowing nothing, because of you stubborn preferences.

    the difference between ignorance and stupidity
    an ignorant person will accept their lack of knowledge andattempt to improve on it.
    a stupid person will take their word as truth and ignore all other opinion, even if their knowledge is incorect.

    what are you? pick a catagory

    I'll be the person that stands by their opinions, knowing that they were formed based on both facts and their preferences.

    And, I love learning. I do it all the time.
